fashion and style is my emotional expression. it’s a form of release. i find when i am at a loss of words, i am never at a loss of fabric.
What makes your style stand out?
my style is not limited to aesthetic, i wear what feels true to me. maybe one day that’s vibrant color and extravagant accessories and the next it may be muted tones and soft touches. i stand out because im myself not because im trying to.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
my dream fashion moment is to wear my grandmothers vintage fur coat to the oscar’s. i get it’s not really a fashion event per say, but when i was a little girl she told me i could have that jacket for my own if i was ever invited to the oscars. it would mean the world to me to show case her extensive collections of clothing.
What would you do with $20,000?
with 20,000 dollars i would take my grandmother on the most insane shopping trip of her life. id also pay my way through cosmetology school and give the remaining amount to my grandparents as their home was just lost to a house fire. i lived with them and almost everything was destroyed. i want to provide for them the way they’ve provided for me.
