Style has always been the one way that I could express myself. All I needed is creativity and inspiration, which I always had.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is a a multitude of layers, taking inspiration from various cultures and subcultures, and covers a range of creative application of aesthetics while all still feeling like a sincere extension of every facet of me. From my studious nature (the academia present in most looks) to the gender fluidity in me wearing skirts and the radicalized part of me that wears more punk styles inbetween.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to meet certain stylists as a co-stylist on a giant project such as Law Roach (has a similar start to myself) on something like launching a vintage fashion exhibit that talks about how the concept of gender has shifted over time. It would feature my personal vintage clothing and accessory collection. Alongside this, a book would awesome for us to collaborate on, where we could discuss the state of the industry and topics adjacent.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would use it toi do one of the following: - Enroll into school so that I can debt free pursue the furthering of my education by studying something I've always wanted to: Fashion or Philosophy. - Invest in my equipment and potentially a studio space of some kind that I can really go to and make my creatively playland to help me with my fashion content output. - Cover living expenses while I take on fashion creative passion projects or to fund said creative fashion projects.
