What makes your style stand out?

I never fail to sneak in a little bit if not a lot of color in to my outfits. Color should be the starting point for any great outfit, bringing attention to the smaller details like your eyes. I absolutely adore embellishments and appliqués, and lots of what I wear is handmade by me!

What’s your dream fashion moment?

A dream fashion moment would be to start my own shop making jeans and customizing them, and then getting those in a runway show. My models would be of those who have bought my jeans, as to include hopefully a wide variety of people. Customizing clothes is one of favorite things to do as you can really show who someone is through that piece of clothing.

What would you do with $20,000?

With 20,000 dollars I would donate most and put a small percent towards my dream of customizing jeans. I recently lost my father who had Lewy Body Dementia, and it has become one of hopes to bring awareness to dementia, its research and caretaking. With that being said I would love to donate to UCLA’s research program, the Alzheimer’s Association of America, and lastly the nursing home where my dad resided for the last 6 months of his life.
