Being a gay kid from the south, fashion was how I would escape. I am actually wearing Elton’s Bob Mackie custom piece in one of the pics.
What makes your style stand out?
Because I refuse to blend in. Besides the fact that I gave up wearing the color black due to having two viciously shedding Golden Retrievers, I never felt like wearing black showcased my personality. Fashion has a message and finding the message in each piece is fascinating. Carrying that message around is why I collect these things. They’re not just objects but symbols for how I’m feelings and the thought that goes into each. I also just DGAF so I wear whatever makes makes me happy 🤗
What’s your dream fashion moment?
In 2019, Gucci showed two Dolly Parton pieces that were never put into production- an airbrush Jean vest and sweatsuit. Whoever has these samples, I’ll do anything for them if you’re seeing this. Alessandro and Dolly are my idols, so please, let me buy them! 😭🥹🫶🏼
What would you do with $20,000?
Probably have to spend it on the Dolly Parton / Gucci runway pieces I mentioned. At this point they’re just sitting somewhere collecting dust SO this would most likely go towards those find. 🫠 If not, take my husband, two golden retrievers to Palm Springs and turn our phones on DND for a week. Believe me, it’s a need, not a want lol.
