What makes your style stand out?

My style is unapologetically multidimensional—Afro-Caribbean roots meet futuristic elegance. I merge streetwear with divine symbolism, couture with consciousness. Whether I’m rocking a runway, capturing a concept in front of the lens, or vibing on stage, my look tells a deeper story: one of resilience, royalty, and radical self-expression. I don’t just wear fashion—I prophesy through it.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream moment? Walking for Versace at Milan Fashion Week draped in golds, whites, and sheer mesh—angelic yet regal—symbolizing rebirth. The crowd rises as I close the show, making global headlines for redefining masculinity, queerness, and Black elegance on the world stage. That moment becomes a movement.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use the funds to help launch my social justice platform parAiLegal Code-Blue—a mobile app and immersive video game that educates users on their rights and documents real-time police encounters through wearable tech. Additionally, I’d begin production on an editorial photo series for a print and digital magazine I’m developing—where fashion meets science and tech, spotlighting underrepresented voices at the intersection of style, innovation, and empowerment. This investment would do good.
