My style gives me confidence even on my worst days, and it helped me find a community grounded in secondhand fashion and wonderful music.
What makes your style stand out?
What makes my style stand out is that sometimes what I wear is not meant to be worn that way. I swear skirts as dresses and curtain ties as belts. Anything that can be tired can be worn 100 different ways, and I intend to find all of them, all while dressing in secondhand items that flatter me and make me confident.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Everyone realizing that we have enough textiles in the world to clothes everyone alive now and everyone that will be born for the next 50 years. I would love to see brands start using “waste” and upcycling it to help our planet and those most affected by climate change.
What would you do with $20,000?
We all know the economy sucks right now, but especially so in small counties like mine. I’ve applied to virtually every kind of job there is around here, but there just aren’t many opportunities. I’ve had to take a gap year because I cannot even get an interview right now, yet I’m so close to getting my bachelor’s degree. $15,000 would immediately go towards paying for school while the remaining money would go into starting a savings account and helping my parents with bills.
