Style is a big part of how I express myself in my designs. My style is a mix of street wear, feminine, Latina flair with bold accessories.
What makes your style stand out?
What makes my style stand out is the confidence that comes with it. It’s not just about wearing clothes. It’s about how they make you feel. I grew up with insecurities about how my body looked in certain outfits, but over time I learned to embrace it and wear what makes me feel good. I also don’t stick to just one look. I like to play with different styles and mix things up depending on what feels right for me, and that mix, along with the confidence behind it, is what makes my style unique.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Aside from being featured in Flaunt Magazine and going to the Milan Fashion Show in 2026, my biggest dream fashion moment is having my own show as big as Versace. Coming from a Latinx background, where fashion isn’t always in the spotlight, I want to represent my people and show that we are so much more than what the eye sees. Reaching that point where I’ve created something on that level and made it as a Latinx fashion designer would be the ultimate dream come true.
What would you do with $20,000?
Money has never been the most important thing to me. My parents always taught me that it isn’t everything. But if I were to win $20,000, I would invest it into my dream of starting my own fashion business and slowly growing it from the ground up. I’d also use part of it to travel and learn from different parts of the world, gaining inspiration and knowledge from other cultures to expand both my audience and my perspective in fashion.
