It’s a form of art and expression. I love that my style speaks for me.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is a combination of inspirations. While I love pulling inspo from runways, I think what makes style timeless and truly yours is: what is your inspiration before its fashion? For me I am inspired by painters like Degas and Monet alongside playing homage to my late grandmother. I usually incorporate a lot of Rose imagery for her and flowers as a nod to myself being named a flower like her. Fashion is like a little love letter.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I have so many! Most of them look like a scene from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. I love theatrics and would love to be a part of a very special moment like a concert tour for Taylor Swift. Whether I styled her looks or designed a creation just for her. What would make it even more magical is if I would be on the red carpet or stage with her.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would make my Confession of a Teenage Drama Queen moment come to life. I love creating new collections and designing amazing looks but often times I can't financially support my grand visions. I would invest in proper sewing equipment, rent a proper studio, and create the collection of my dreams. I would then put on a fashion show for these looks that can support other up and coming artists whether that's models, MUAs, etc. I think art is a collaborative field and I'd love to give back.
