Style is my ultimate form of expression. It’s my way of speaking without saying a word. My style displays the components of my thoughts.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because of my intentionality and uniqueness. My personal aesthetic is futuristic incorporating maximalist/minimalist elements but from a ready-to-wear everyday approach. I am a big history buff, in my childhood I would always pay intricate attention to the clothing and elements of expression when it came to style. I don’t focus on trends but look for clothing pieces that connect/reflect who I am and my perspective. I put my twist on conventional clothing items.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I have many dream fashion moments, however just to highlight one is when I will be a costume creative director for a big box movie. The movie will be star studded with an inspirational and important message. (I’m speaking this into existence)
What would you do with $20,000?
I would first pay 10% to my tithes to my church, because I know that it’s only God how I won this competition and experience. Secondly I would begin my Styling consulting business that I have been procrastinating and prolonging. I’ve been living everyone else’s vision for my life, so this would be a step toward believing in myself and my passion. Fashion truly means everything to me and I’ve been taking it for granted out of fear but this would be confirmation that this is what I am meant to do.
