Fashion is freedom; it lets me reinvent myself daily. It’s my love language, my art form, & the way I tell the world a story.
What makes your style stand out?
Being that i'm not only a stylist, I’m a designer. I direct creative content; That gives me the ability to control every aspect of how to present fashion looks—fit, color, mood, the photo environment. so every look feels very intentional—not accidental. There’s a narrative behind the styling. My style is about identity, strength, & personality. This gives my fashion more impact. I love taking the old and making it look new. From thrifting to closet organizing.. I'm always reinventing the wheel.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
A dream fashion moment for me would be seeing one of my original designs at the Met Gala or on a red carpet at the Grammys or Emmys—worn by artists like Bad Bunny, Usher, Teyana Taylor, Tyla, even Doja Cat. I want to create one-of-a-kind pieces that embody exclusivity, with a boutique line made for the underdog and the outcast—those who deserve to feel seen, celebrated, and unforgettable.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d invest in my brand by sourcing sustainable materials and creating a capsule collection of one-of-a-kind pieces. I’d use it for quality fabrics, ethical production, and campaigns that showcase exclusivity and artistry. I want to use my fashion to promote Mental Health as well. My goal is to build a clothing line for the underdog/ outcast and self confidence—proving fashion can be BOLD, Purposeful, Distinctive, and sustainable all at once.
