Fashion lets me tell stories of strength and grace through every stitch. Style is how I express confidence, identity, and emotion.

What makes your style stand out?

My style blends timeless femininity with modern minimalism. Each piece is carefully handcrafted using sustainable fabrics and refined details. I design silhouettes that celebrate strength and elegance — creating luxury that feels deeply personal, not distant.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is when a woman wears one of my designs and says, “I feel powerful.” That’s when fashion becomes more than beauty — it becomes a language of emotion, memory, and transformation.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d use it to develop a sustainable eveningwear capsule collection, collaborate with local artisans, and showcase my work internationally. This support would transform my vision into a global platform that empowers women through design.
