What makes your style stand out?

My style is heavily inspired by the past, present, and future. I see my style as a time capsule that blends together different elements and emotions from my ancestors and of myself. I mix bold colors, dramatic silhouettes, and elements of camp. It’s truly one of one because I am one of one.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is to style for Schiaparelli. I’m so inspired by not only what they represent but their origins. Seeing a woman start her career in the midst of a war shows not only the importance of fashion but the importance of diverse voices within the fashion space. She believed in the power of fashion and individuality, which are qualities I see within myself.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to move to NYC to continue my career as a stylist. Currently I live in a small city in North Carolina where people only dress up on Sundays. I want continue my education of fashion and eventually open up my own arts school for people who like me have a deep love for fashion but don’t have the resources to educate themselves. My dream is to use my gifts to make the world better and bring in a new era of styling
