What makes your style stand out?

I see myself as a trendsetter who uses fashion as transformation, not just appearance. Each look I create is a character, blending luxury pieces with thrifted finds to spark fresh perspectives. My style excites people to try new things, proving true fashion is vision, not labels. I embody my highest fashion self in how I dress, what I create, and the influence I have on others.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is that feeling of “arriving”. My dream moments in fashion would be: Sitting front row of a fashion show next to icons, being invited to VIP events and getting to see touch and feel all the new garments coming out before they are in stores. I’d love to be on the “consulting team” for vogue, helping them style and curate photo shoots featuring some of the artists I’ve admired from my childhood.. My dream fashion moment would ultimately be a seat at the table.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use the 20k to jump start my brand. I’d want to hire people in my network I’ve previously collaborated with to help me market and produce my first luxe fully sustainable fashion show during Chicago fashion week. This would give me the opportunity to collaborate with local talent in my city and bring my new ideas to life, we will also educate how they can practice sustainable shopping and give all underrepresented creatives in Chicago the platform they deserve.
