I view fashion as a canvas for my identity—an art form that speaks my truth and celebrates the self, unconcerned with convention.

What makes your style stand out?
My style is a fearless, artistic synthesis of Gothic mood and bittersweet vintage character. I intentionally explore the interplay of darkness and light, transforming the peculiar into personal virtue, and expressing my most authentic self without compromise.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is not on a runway, but in a dedicated art museum exhibit. I envision a curated collection showcasing my style as a cultural study of Gothic and vintage aesthetics—a profound, immersive display that elevates personal dressing to philosophical art. It would be my ultimate statement on the enduring value of authentic self-expression.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would use it in my artistic career: applying toward an acting degree or scholarship to hone my performance skills, treating my personal style as a true form of self-portraiture and expanding my art in cinematic, and acting projects.
