What makes your style stand out?

I love fashion that tells a story, so I pay close attention to how each garment is constructed and how it moves. I’m drawn to interesting textures and unexpected cuts that make an outfit feel unique and intentional. A lot of my inspiration comes from K-pop, which keeps my style playful, bold, and always evolving.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be walking the runway in Paris during Fashion Week, wearing a stunning Louis Vuitton look. I love his collections because they’re edgy yet classy — bold designs that make a statement but still feel timeless. For me, it wouldn’t just be about modeling; it would be about stepping fully into that world of high fashion, feeling powerful and confident under the lights, and knowing I belong there.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, the first thing I’d do is make sure all my taxes are taken care of—after all, I’m an accountant, so I know the importance of staying on top of that. I’d invest the majority to make the money work for me, building a foundation for the future. But I wouldn’t let it all just sit there—I’d also treat myself to a vacation, somewhere I’ve always dreamed of visiting, like Korea or China, soaking up the culture and experiences I’ve imagined for so long.
