My style is rooted in minimalism and practicality. It’s not for show, it’s intention without distraction. Simple, useful, and grounded.

What makes your style stand out?
I don’t follow trends, I outlast them. While the world spirals into noise, chasing the next big thing, I choose intention. My style isn’t about creating a spectacle. It’s about substance. No gimmicks, no clutter, just clean, considered design that does what it’s meant to do. Simplicity, to me, isn’t plain, it’s powerful. It makes space for what matters and cuts through the chaos with quiet confidence. I’m not here to impress. I’m here to build something that lasts—grounded, useful, and honest.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To bring back crasmenship, and slap the current fashion world awake. Fashion lost its way. It’s no longer about function or detail. Now, it’s overpriced fabric made to look worn, for valued shock or sex appeal over substance. My dream is to flip the script. To put quality, utility, and intention front and centre. To stop glorifying ragged clothes and start honouring the story real wear creates. Style that’s quiet but unforgettable. Creativity with purpose, that’s the real fashion.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’ve just opened my photography studio, and this funding would play a crucial role in launching my career in fashion photography. It would allow me to invest in essential equipment, lighting, lenses, and editing tools that will help me produce high-quality, professional work. I’d also use the funds to build a strong portfolio, produce editorial-style test shoots, and collaborate with models, stylists, and designers to grow my network. This support could help me establish a clear visual identity.
