What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because I embrace androgyny with a focus on clean, flattering silhouettes that complement my height and body. Being almost 6’4”, I use proportion and structure intentionally — whether it's through tailored pieces, oversized layers, or subtle contrasts — to create a look that feels balanced and confident. I try to not chase trends, but instead play with shapes, tones, and textures that make a quiet statement. It’s less about gender and more about form, flow, and presence.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I would say my dream fashion moment isn’t about spectacle — it’s about presence. Just being able to always enter a room in a perfectly fitted look that flatters me and my energy.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use the $20,000 as a start up fund for a new life. As a gay man with not a ton of family support, it would help me move somewhere where I can actually build the life I want to. It wouldn’t fix everything immediately, but it would give me solid ground to grow from and give me a fresh start.
