What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it blends storytelling with design, pulling from my mother’s legacy as a model, my roots in luxury fashion, and my love of cinematic references like The Wiz and Uptown Saturday Night. I shop my own closet as much as I create bold, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each look balances nostalgia and modern edge, crafted to be ungendered, tailored, and timeless while always carrying a touch of drama.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be debuting a Mannequin Concepts collection on an international runway, where models of all backgrounds and genders showcase pieces inspired by my mother’s legacy and 70s glam. The show would merge film, music, and design like a living mood board, ending with the audience not just seeing clothes, but feeling a story. That moment would define my vision: style as art, heritage, and celebration.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d invest directly into expanding Mannequin Concepts, producing a ready-to-wear capsule that bridges my bespoke roots with accessible pieces. I’d allocate funds toward high-quality fabrics, ethical production, and building visibility through shows and pop-ups. This investment wouldn’t just fuel garments but also a vision, creating a brand that celebrates individuality, legacy, and timeless style.
