What makes your style stand out?
The focus on detail when come to textile, I often make the articles of clothing I wear so it’s unique. I’d make a jacket of alligator skin mixed with crocodile skin then wear something simplistic like red denim the next day which is still bold yet simplistic but when you get closer you see the intricate detail on the garment.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
It quite funny but I’d actually like to walk for Versace one of the first of my favorites when it comes to signature designs. I’m not a tall figure I’m only 5’9 but I always favored Tupac and I remembered doing project on Versace in college; seeing Tupac walk on the runway in that satin suit now only fit his image but what Versace represented, it was for everyone with style and taste.
What would you do with $20,000?
Half of it will go toward debt owed in the residence that I’m in and the other half will go towards investment in the relaunching of my brand. I’ve had hardships but I’m not sob story I take my misfortunes and my mistakes as lessons to grow as a entrepreneur I see myself becoming.
