I love hosiery in fact I own a hosiery boutique. The Fashion Girlies KNOW that leg wear is more than just a trend, it’s a wardrobe STAPLE.

What makes your style stand out?

My style defies categorization—I seamlessly flow from sophisticated elegance to cottage core to edgy minimalism, never bound by trends. Fashion is my artform of self-expression, where knowing my body and crafting head-turning looks matters more than what's "in." I create visual stories that captivate, whether channeling old Hollywood glamour or contemporary edge. True style is fearless authenticity.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be an editorial feature in Harper's Bazaar or Vogue showcasing the evolution of hosiery through history—with me as the model depicting each iconic era. From ancient Egyptian leg wraps to Renaissance men's decorative hose, 1920s flapper silk stockings to burlesque glamour, Cher's legendary sheer bodysuits, the color-pop waves of the 70s and 90s grunge, French lace patterns, and classic back seams. This editorial would celebrate hosiery as functional art & fashion.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would launch a luxury plus-size hosiery line. As a hosiery retailer, I see the glaring gap—plus-size women are limited to basic blacks and nets while missing out on florals, micro dots, lace, pinstripes, geometrics, and graphic designs. Quality hosiery in extended sizes barely exists. I want to create beautiful, sophisticated options for my size 20+ queens who deserve the same style variety and premium craftsmanship available to straight sizes.
