Style is my spellwork. I’m both muse and magician—each look a ritual of beauty, power, and self-revelation.

What makes your style stand out?

My style isn’t just fashion—it’s fantasy. I’m a Black queer trans nonbinary faery-vampire dominatrix kitty with 90s MILF energy. Every look tells a story—seductive, mystical, and feline. I merge edge with intention: chunky chains, mixing metals, black and patent leather, and playful bursts of color through my hair, makeup, and accessories. My style is a living world of contrast and allure.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment? Paris Fashion Week—front row and backstage, radiating in my own creation. I’d meet Rico Nasty, Doechii, and Law Roach, vibing with the icons who inspire me to merge edge, glamour, and freedom—then dance the night away with them in full fantasy.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d pay my rent ahead and clear my car to create freedom—then invest in experiences that fuel my art. My partner and I are both DJs and creators, and we crave to explore music scenes around the world, performing and connecting through sound. I’d thrift across every city, expanding my style archive, and invest in the future of my little family—me, my love of six years, and our 11-year-old Shih Tzu.
