Style is how I tell stories; blending culture, identity, and imagination, inspired by worlds like Avatar: The Last Airbender.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is eclectic, thrifted, and rooted in storytelling. I blend cultural and fantasy influences, especially from Avatar: The Last Airbender, to create looks that feel lived-in and otherworldly. Modeling taught me to appreciate structure, but I’m drawn to texture, symbolism, and emotional resonance. I mix the ancient and the absurd, the spiritual and the playful, the loud and the subtle, because fashion should make you feel something.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream is to recreate Aang’s look from Zuko’s coronation — a symbol of peace and transformation. I'd design it from scratch, using natural, movement-friendly materials and tailoring it to reflect both character and personal meaning. It’s more than cosplay, it’s a fusion of identity, culture, and intention. That moment would embody everything I love about fashion: storytelling, evolution, and presence.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest in learning to make my own clothes — taking classes, building a small studio, and sourcing ethical materials. My goal is to design a capsule collection inspired by the elements and cultures that shaped me. I’d also collaborate with creatives from underrepresented communities. This isn’t just about fashion, it’s about building something meaningful, inclusive, and rooted in story.
