What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it reflects every part of who I am—a first-generation Filipino-American, D.C. native, plus-size guy with an even bigger heart. I blend masculine and feminine silhouettes with dapper and streetwear influences, mixing high-end designer with pieces that are both accessible and affordable. My fashion is confident, expressive, and unapologetically me—a bold reflection of culture, identity, and individuality.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be to inspire someone who feels they don’t fit the mold—to prove that fashion has room for every story, size, and background. I want to be celebrated not for conformity but for confidence, culture, and individuality. By defining my own style and taking up space proudly, I hope to show others they belong, that self-expression is power, and that authenticity will always be in style.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest in purchasing a home so my husband and I could provide a permanent, loving space for my brother, who has special needs. With my father well into his late 60’s and my mother having passed in 2020, I want to honor her wish by keeping him with family, giving him stability, care, and a home filled with love, safety, and belonging.
