What makes your style stand out?

My mix race origins and my open mind. Most of what I am is the result of the influences that inspired me when I travel and immerse myself into other cultures. I enjoy observing, and listening to other people's stories that slowly reveal a glimpse from their truth, I think fashion is part of each individual story, and can be revealing from themselves but also from me, and I consider it as an extremely valuable learning approach.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Get to meet the creative directors of fashion events and get to talk with the designers, and see if I can get some inspirational experiences from them. It will be not only enriching but also appreciative.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest them into continuing with my education. I want to start to run my own design firm, therefore learning communication skills to negotiate, will help me to build more confidence, and build trust when verbally interacting with future clients. Furthermore, I discovered recently that I have dyslexia, and I want to take that challenge as a parallel journey for success.
