My style is a way to express myself and heal my inner child. A maximalist clown with statement pieces. Younger me would think I was SO cool.
What makes your style stand out?
What makes my style stand out is the creativity and color. I love to mix and match and try new things that aren’t mainstream. I also love to DIY pieces that I wear. I dress to be unique and different from anyone else in the room/on the street.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to style for designers in fashion week. I style music artists and smaller photoshoots, but I would love to do it on a larger scale. My dream would be to style for a designer who is very experimental and campy.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I won $20,000, I would put a chunk of it in my savings, donate some to various causes, and spend the rest on traveling with my partner. I would donate to causes like the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, organizations that fight ICE and families in Palestine. My partner and I love to travel together to experience people and places outside of Ohio, and we love to visit vintage and thrift shops everywhere we go to take home fashion from different states.
