For me fashion has always been about free self-expression. To be ones self in style is truly a necessary part of being free.

What makes your style stand out?
All of my outfits have one thing in common. They all are all based heavily on different genres of film. Because of this, each outfit of mine has a distinct atmosphere that is always sure to draw eyes. I love to combine different genres into my outfits. Some of my outfits are inspired by classic westerns, 70's sci-fi movies, anime, early 2000's coming of age movies, gothic romance, noir detective, and modern alternative.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I have always loved when fashion is used as a social statement. My absolute dream fashion moment would be one where my style truly says something about empathy and the human condition. I want my fashion to be something that forces both the viewers and myself to reflect deeply on important issues that are often neglected, such as animal rights, poverty, war. I want to use fashion as a way to encourage more compassion and understanding on these vital topics of discussion.
What would you do with $20,000?
In the last year, I've experienced housing insecurity for the first time in my life. I would use the 20,000 to make sure that I have a safe place to live. That money would also go straight to my schooling, as I am currently studying film. It would greatly help me to keep food on my table while I pursue my dream of acting and modeling. Self expression has always been vitally important to me. It is as important as food and shelter. I promise you your money would be well invested in me.
