Style is my playground; every outfit a new way to tell my story, it isn’t just what I wear, it’s how I take up space unapologetically.

What makes your style stand out?
I don’t dress to stand out; I dress to feel at home in myself. I lean toward clean lines and fabrics that move with me—linen that softens, wool that steadies. A sharp silhouette or grounded neutral anchors the rest, and comfort is non-negotiable. When the fit feels true, confidence follows, and that’s what makes my style distinct.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is stepping into a bespoke piece that feels like second skin—walking into Milan not to be noticed, but to feel wholly myself.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d begin with essentials—paying bills to feel grounded and secure. Then I’d turn to a dream I’ve never lived: Milan during Fashion Week. I’d invest in a tailored piece that honors craft and longevity, wander the streets, savor pasta and espresso, and take in the city’s rhythm. What I’d truly bring home is gratitude, confidence, and memories that last longer than any fabric.
