What makes your style stand out?

Style helps my inside feel coherent with my outside--that is what makes it compelling. I love to put together something inventive and chic that makes me feel like myself: warm in spirit and vivacious in personality. It also expresses my values: curating second-hand garments is a manifestation of my care for sustainability and love of archival pieces, and wearing the same item repeatedly in a new way shows thoughtful buying/styling. It is joyful, colorful, purposeful, and a little bit sexy!

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be a spread of curated looks in Flaunt Magazine. Each look would be sourced and styled by me. They would be modeled by a few of my close friends and me. The spread represents friendship, individuality, sustainability, and creativity.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use $20,000 to launch a fashion video channel that helps people style second-hand clothes and find exceptional vintage stores and pieces. I would start in Paris, making guides by arrondissement. The money would be used to buy garments and to cover costs associated with filming and editing. I would love to share my passion for vintage and archival pieces, communicate the historical context for such items, and enthusiastically shed light on the benefits of shopping sustainably.
