Growing up, I often struggled with finding my place in the world. Fashion has always been the one thing that made sense to me.
What makes your style stand out?
What makes my style stand out is the way I transform fashion into a personal language. I have a sharp eye for detail, ensuring every piece I wear feels intentional and expressive. Rather than simply following trends, I personalize them, blending influences in a way that reflects my own personality and creates something fresh and unique. My style is about confidence, individuality, and storytelling — making each look not just seen, but felt.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I aspire to be a true fashion powerhouse — a self-made brand recognizable on a global scale. What excites me most, however, is the runway. There is something unparalleled about being chosen to embody a look, to bring respect and attention to your individuality, and to become a living part of someone’s clothing as art. That connection between personal expression and fashion’s artistry is what drives me, making me a valuable and unique asset to any designer or creative vision.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would first consolidate my debt to create financial freedom to grow my clothing line. I’d then invest in essential start-up tools and resources to build a strong foundation for the brand. The remainder would support my relocation, opening access to greater fashion opportunities and networking systems that will help me achieve my long-term vision.
