Being unapologetically Black — it’s in my DNA. It’s who I am.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s authentic to me. It’s something I don’t have to try too hard to create, and it always looks and feels original.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to attend (more specifically) to be invited to Paris Fashion Week.
What would you do with $20,000?
With the prize money, I would continue paying off college while further developing my sewing skills and, of course, expanding my closet. This money would also help support me as an independent 20-year-old living in New York.
