Fashion saved my self confidence growing up. I'm a small designer and model now because of my love for fashion and maximalist styles.
What makes your style stand out?
Most of my clothing is thrifted, handmade or sustainably sourced, which is something I pride myself on. I love layering, accessorizing and upcycling my wardrobe to create spunky and playful outfits. I also enjoy switching up my style on a day to day and encouraging myself to try new looks/vibes because fashion is a huge form of expression for me. I LOVE a loud color or pattern clashing, the more accessories the better and you better bet on me wearing some crazy cute shoes to top off the look!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would probably be a tour of Elton John's closet haha! But more seriously, I think something I always dreamed would be so insanely cool and ridiculous would be getting a full fashion makeover Devil Wears Prada style where I get to walk through a huge warehouse full of clothing and shoes and have someone throw beautiful clothes in my hands that are exactly my size.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would use the winnings to open a brick and mortar store in my hometown and really put my all into creating a space in New Mexico where people of all ages, sizes, and styles can shop sustainably made clothing by local designers. I think there is a huge community of artists and creatives here who deserve to be supported and celebrated but there are not enough outlets for that to happen. I want to help show people how cool and fun sustainable fashion can be!
