What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s not worn — it’s lived. It’s an echo of my soul, not a copy of a trend. I blend contrast: edge with empathy, classic with chaos. I dress to express, not impress — to show the fire and calm that coexist within me. Every piece I wear is chosen with intention; an art form that speaks before I do and resonates long after I leave.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

No flash or fanfare—it’s the rare alignment of self and style. I’m allowing myself to be known, not trying to be seen. Confidence becomes couture; every thread is my soul on display. The moment can’t be staged—it can only be lived. Honest. Unforgettably unique.

What would you do with $20,000?

invest in my vision—building an empire that designs with purpose and creates art that inspires. Refining my craft and expanding my brand through creative endeavors with positive community impact. It’s about potential, not profit—style is my language, but legacy is my mission. Every dollar fuels the manifestation of something real, lasting, and authentically iconic
