Style ignites my soul, a canvas of self-expression; each outfit tells a story, weaving textures into a vibrant tapestry of originality.

What makes your style stand out?
I believe my style is distinctly influenced by my upbringing in the rich tapestry of Southern culture. Growing up in central Kentucky, I have absorbed the essence of deep-rooted storytelling, interwoven with threads of rock 'n' roll, equestrian tradition, and Southern elegance. My grandmother, a pivotal figure in this journey, has always inspired me to embrace self-expression through fashion. She encouraged me to don the attire that reflects the person I aspire to be each day.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My mother selflessly set aside her fashion aspirations to nurture our family. While she enjoyed a remarkable career as an educator and an incredible mom, I long to treat her to an experience that reflects her enduring spirit. I envision taking her to Fashion Week, where she can sit front row and soak in the spectacle of creativity and elegance. At 76, she is as vibrant as ever, and my dream is to share this extraordinary moment with her, honoring her past while celebrating her fabulousness.
What would you do with $20,000?
My parents have made profound sacrifices for our family, not only for my brother and me but for every sibling and relative in our lives. It is my heartfelt desire to present my mother and father with a check for $20,000 and simply say, "This is for you." This gesture would be a long-awaited gift, an expression of gratitude for their unwavering love and support. No one has ever bestowed upon them such a gift, and I yearn to create that cherished moment while they are still with us.
