What makes your style stand out?
My style is all about balance—standing out without shouting. I love pieces that might look similar at first glance, but when you look closer, there’s intention behind everything: the fit, the fabric, the texture, the layering. I’m not trying to be loud, but I’m definitely not trying to blend in either. Every color I wear means something to me, every piece is chosen with purpose. It’s about creating a vibe that feels effortless but says a lot once you really see it.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment? It’s jaws on the floor. I walk in, and time slows for just a second—people don’t know whether to stare or ask questions. The look is clean but complex, like everything was made just for me. The colors, the layers, the way it moves—it all speaks without trying too hard. It’s not loud, but it hits. It’s the kind of outfit that makes people rethink how they’ve been dressing. That’s the energy I’m always chasing: subtle from a distance, unforgettable up close.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d invest in creating a fashion platform that reflects my vision—intentional, bold, and meaningful. I'd launch a capsule collection and use the rest to support aspiring models and creatives through styled shoots, open castings, and workshops. It’s not just about fashion—it’s about access, confidence, and building space for others to shine too.
