It’s my heart’s mission to represent the Plus Size community & inspire others through style in a society the lacks size & age inclusivity.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is “Hyper-femme Vintagista because I’m not afraid to embrace my femininity while also loving various fashion eras and tailored menswear. My mother was a Seamstress & worked hard at multiple jobs as a single mother for years so she had little time to sew. She bought me masculine clothes & handed-down her own that were age-appropriate to avoid dressing me like an adult. I won’t complain because this helped me find my personal style and I pray to inspire others to do the same.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Receiving an invitation to model at Pitti Uomo would be a DREAM! Showing my appreciation for men’s wear while also making my mark as a plus size woman at a male-inspired event would be amazing and show that tailored looks are also for women too, regardless of size. I love suits, especially blazers so modeling them & representing for the Plus Size community at THEE celebration of suits would be insane!!!
What would you do with $20,000?
I would purchase more material and tools to go toward starting my own fashion line to pay homage to my mother and late grandmother by being a 3rd-generational Seamstress turned Designer. My line would give modeling opportunities to aspiring plus models who have been overlooked due to industry standards. I would also add money to savings for the care of my mother.
