What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s rooted in storytelling and presence. From film sets to fashion weeks, I approach every look with intention - bold silhouettes, unexpected pairings, and elevated details that command attention. Confidence is woven into everything I wear, often with a touch of drama that turns heads and lingers in memory. I love creating moments that feel cinematic, expressive, and unapologetically authentic to who I am.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be to be recognized globally as a stylist and costume designer whose work transcends trends and tells powerful stories. I envision creating an unforgettable red carpet or Fashion Week moment that sparks conversation, inspires others, and becomes part of cultural fashion history. Beyond the look itself, I want the impact to resonate - celebrating identity, creativity, and craftsmanship on the world’s biggest stages.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d start by giving back - creating opportunities, mentorship spaces, and meaningful collaborations for emerging creatives in my community. I know firsthand how powerful support can be in shaping a career. With the remaining funds, I’d elevate my portfolio, fund bold creative projects, and grow my brand globally through strategic collaborations and storytelling that push boundaries.
