Clashing patterns & bold color combos thrill me, they make fashion art. I channel that through my secondhand shop with Y2K & vintage looks.

What makes your style stand out?
I feel what makes my style stand out is because it’s fearless and playful. I start with a bold pattern or texture, then layer thrifted and vintage finds into a maximalist look. Jewelry and accessories become my finishing touch, turning chaos into something curated. Every outfit feels like wearable art with a story behind it.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream moment would be walking INTO ( but not on the runway) Fashion Week wearing an all thrifted, maximalist Y2K-inspired outfit and seeing it turn heads. I want to show that secondhand style can be high fashion that sustainability and bold self-expression belong on the runway.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest in growing my secondhand shop, invest into perfecting my craft of up cycling thrifted pieces, sourcing more unique pieces, expanding to pop-ups and online, and creating content to inspire others to choose vintage. I’d also fund a small workshop teaching people how to style thrifted pieces into high-fashion looks.
