What makes your style stand out?

i don’t think i literally stand out, however when it comes to my personal style, i deeply care about staying true to myself. while it’s the most cliche thing you can say, it’s just true. i don’t care about how others see me, i care about the confidence that exudes from myself when i wear what i want. the cut, the colors, the fabric and the body of the garment is what makes something truly incredible and unique. two people can have the same style, but the way it’s composed is what truly matters.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

i don’t just want to wear clothing- i want to wear art. if i could live my dream for a day, i’d make it permanent by leaving a message behind with it. one of my favorite themes to explore lately is that of young, delicate clothing contrasted by a serious and more sexual environment. i think it brings upon more commentary of the fetishization of youth in media. i’ve also been very interested in the use of origami techniques combined with design, it makes deeply beautiful and satisfying results.

What would you do with $20,000?

i would buy car, put down a deposit on an apartment, and carve out a more sustainable path for my future. it’s honestly a life changing amount for so many- it’s over half my income and likely many others too. in my world though, i’d build myself an expansive closet, in my beautiful apartment in the city. can’t forget the colorful tiled bathroom nearby either.
