What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s bold, expressive, and confident. I mix graphic elements with streetwear and finish it off with clean accessories and sneakers. It’s all about making a statement without saying a word.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

A dream fashion moment would be stepping onto a rooftop runway in Tokyo at sunset, wearing a custom piece that blends streetwear with high art, something that turns heads and sparks conversation. Cameras flash, music hits, and the outfit tells a story before I even speak. It’s not just about being seen, it’s about being remembered.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d invest in finishing my education and starting my master’s program this January strong. I’d cover tuition, materials, and living expenses so I can stay focused and stress-free. The goal is to graduate ready to make an impact in my field.
