Both film and magazines are the heartbeat of my artistic vision. When I step out into the world I envision a story I'm narrating.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is more-so about storytelling. I start with visualizing the persona I want to embody-confidence, mystery, elegance, playfulness- and then I create the look around that image. My work and my style live in that in-between space- where film meets print, where emotion meets aesthetics. I am inspired by the narratives behind the clothes, the visual poetry of a scene or a page, and the power of imagery to make us dream, desire and remember. Fashion to me is the art of transformation.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to establish a connection with the fashion designers that inspired my love for fashion, art, and fantasy. The artistry that they've created will transcend beyond decades to come and will continue to inspire future generations. To inquire and study some of the most wonderful minds of our time would truly be a dream come true.
What would you do with $20,000?
Visiting the fashion capitals of the world. Traveling through these cities feels like tracing the veins of inspiration that feed my passion. Each one leaves it's mark: the textures, the architecture, the people who turn sidewalks into runways. I don't just see clothes-I feel the culture behind them, the stories stitched into every hem and silhouette. For me visiting the capitals is about connecting with the soul of fashion in all of it's forms: the elegance, the chaos, the innovation.
