Kyla Whitaker

Growing up, a small part of me knew I always had it. I grew up obsessed with art, fashion and poetry. Seeing all three woven is wonderous.

What makes your style stand out?

Not only do I enjoy stepping out in something that looks and feels good, I also enjoy seeing others who notice and appreciate my efforts. Especially when they ask me where I'm from. It's all about meeting your own standards and being someone or something people don't see everyday. It's all about how you carry yourself.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is being interviewed for my fashion motifs. I love to thrift, collect and be sustainable. I like to cut and mix things up by recycling and up-cycling. I love to rock and wear what a lot of people find out of the ordinary. I also take pleasure in slightly tailoring my personal pieces to enhance and accentuate my unique features. It's important to keep things interesting and never boring.

What would you do with $20,000?

I want to add on to my dream of being in the art world. I've been painting and drawing since preschool; took sewing classes and made my first dress when I was ten. My mother gave all she could to pour into my ambitions growing up. I wanna show her that I got this, not only for me, but for her as well. My mom had interest in modeling 20 years prior, but ended up pregnant with me before it became serious. I wanna make us both proud. We both love and enjoy Fashion with a Passion.
