Stylishness has always been ingrained in me. My father chose my outfits. As I traveled globally, I learned to take pieces to make my own.
What makes your style stand out?
Some simple staples in my style are my love for my country and pride in my service, mixed with my Chicano culture. I love wearing a mixture of my American (soldier) culture, my Mexican (Aztec) princess upbringing, and a light blend of anime cosplay as an original character. Also, I often let people who surround me select some pieces I wear, which is very endearing to me.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I loved my quinceañera dress. In that moment I felt the warmth of my Mexican heritage and culture in fashion. In a similar way, it would be iconic to bring a certain elegance back to fashion by incorporating a mixture of Chicano style to formal attire and debuting it into the runway.
What would you do with $20,000?
Continue supporting those I can and myself. I’ve been a strong advocate and supporter of the arts, humanitarian rights, and my passions for technology and health. I was blessed with the gift of knowledge which truly feels fulfilling to help others.
