What I love about style is the versatility it allows individuals. It’s nice to dress nonchalant, but I want to turn heads and inspire.
What makes your style stand out?
I view my style as an opportunity to be playful in how I present myself. I’m not afraid of switching it up and trying out new things. At times some of my looks could border on costume, but why let that stop me from expressing myself? …Oh and also lots of accessories!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I have many dream fashion moments. If I had to narrow it down they would be: having my own fashion house, meeting Anna Wintour, and designing a look for Lady Gaga.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I won Style Icon I would use the prize money to invest in my dream of having my own fashion house. I’d likely start with creating a space I could work in where my ideas could grow.
