Fashion has always been an avenue to express my queerness, conveying what I wasn’t always brave enough to say. Authenticity is freeing!
What makes your style stand out?
My style is tailored, but with an edge. Androgynous, yet soft and fashion-forward. I combine pieces from modern brands with vintage accessories or find from my local thrift store. I love jewelry, coloring my hair, and anything that helps my look stand out! I'm a stylist myself, so creating and evolving my own personal style is a life-long journey that I remain fully dedicated to.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to style and creative direct a magazine editorial shoot for one of my favorite celebrity style icons—Joan Jett, Hayley Williams, Jenna Ortega, etc. There are so many amazing women in music, TV & film who are blazing the path for us all, simply by being themselves.
What would you do with $20,000?
Gosh. As a freelancer, this amount of money means so much to me. I have been freelancing for 3 years, and every day brings a new challenge. $20,000 would allow me to step back and reassess what I want to be doing with my life, and to find a place that feels like home to me and my career. I also wouldn't hesitate to pour back into my community what they've poured into me. I'd love to use the funds to Creative Direct my own shoot—and of course, be able to hire my friends as cast & crew!
