Style excites me because it’s the freedom to create, inspire, and stand out with every outfit.
What makes your style stand out?
My dream fashion moment is finding used vintage clothes that tell a story and wearing them with pride and confidence.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is discovering vintage treasures from the 1950s–1970s in thrift stores and wearing them with pride. For me, fashion is about creativity, sustainability, and honoring the past while expressing who I am today.
What would you do with $20,000?
I want to begin by expressing my heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to vote, especially my wonderful family. I’m honored to be part of the Elton John Icon Contest! If I win, $10,000 will go to the High Desert Homeless Shelter to support those in need, and the other $10,000 will help me finish my children’s book series — a project that inspires creativity, kindness and teamwork.
