You’ll never catch me without accessories—aka that SAZÓN! My style tells my story: culture, corazón, and confidence.
What makes your style stand out?
You’ll never see me without a hat or jewelry—aka that SAZÓN. I wear hats to honor my abuelito and crosses for my abuelita. My style is how I express myself without words—a blend of culture, heart, and heritage. Every look tells a story of where I come from and who I am, mixing OG style with deep meaning and soul.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is launching my own brand, sitting front row at NYFW, and connecting with designers who’ve inspired me. I imagine feeling the energy of the runway, soaking in the creativity, and knowing I’m walking in purpose—bringing my culture, story, and style full circle.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use the $20,000 to bring my dream fashion business to life—partnering with Mexican artisans to create handcrafted hats that honor my heritage. I’d also pay down student loans and credit cards so I can invest fully in my creative journey and keep inspiring others to express themselves boldly and authentically.
