Out of despair, my style bloomed. I turned pain into artistry, and grief into bold self expression through fashion.
What makes your style stand out?
I have an earthy style. I can turn a blank canvas into a work of work of art. With me, there’s no such thing as basic.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I imagine walking in a small but vibrant fashion show, nothing huge, just an intimate space full of energy. I’m wearing a skintight black Maison Margiela dress that trails softly behind me. The room feels dark, quiet, and mysterious, yet alive with creativity. The music begins, and I walk with ease, feeling completely confident and present in the moment.
What would you do with $20,000?
As a biochemistry and biotechnology student, I carry dreams bigger than my debt. With $20k, I’d eliminate that burden and continue my academic journey empowered and debt free, dedicating myself fully to science and discovery. And of course, new clothes!
