What makes your style stand out?

I don’t belong to any named style, it’s morphing and evolving as i allow myself to be more and more authentic, as i let go of societal pressures and expectations to be thin or look a certain way. I wear what “doesn’t fit” my body type and make it work. I choose fabrics that have a texture and tell a story. 90% of my closet is thrifted. I see duality everywhere and my style is an extension of that - where gothic and cottagecore can coexist, where s*x and innocence both shine through the outfit.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I am a singer so the dream fashion moment for me would be to collab with a designer who is ready to make something extravagant and perform in it. I remember Lady Gagas raw beef outfit on MTV in 2010 and that’s what I’m talking about. Also ecofashion , Upcycled plastic bottles and bags and fishnets can do things that would blow anyone’s mind. Dream is to collab and create style + meaning

What would you do with $20,000?

Invest into creating my first ever music video - i have been putting it off bc i want it to be on the level i desire. This means find a beginner designer who feels my vibe and creating a concept for my music video outfits that is rich is symbolic meaning but also looks interesting. I love details and lore, so would also hire a producer to help me bring this mysteria to life
