Style is self-expression that tells a story without words. Clothing, colors, and textures communicate mood, personality unique to me.

What makes your style stand out?
I blend individual creativity with a keen eye for detail. I don’t just follow trends; I interpret them. My strength is styling with intention—choosing cuts, colors, and accessories that express mood and personality while remaining wearable. Whether curating a wardrobe or designing a single outfit, I focus on storytelling through clothing, ensuring every look communicates confidence and originality.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be styling / debuting a collection at Paris or NY Fashion Week, watching models glide down the runway in pieces I styled fusing classic tailoring with unexpected textures and bold color stories. I’d love the audience to feel that spark when they see something both elegant and daring -- something that lingers in their memory after the lights dim.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest it in ways that grow both my creativity and my community. I’d allocate part of the prize to professional development—advanced design courses, pattern-making workshops, and collaborations with local artisans—to refine my craft and support independent makers. Finally, I’d create digital content and pop-up events to share the process, inspiring others to explore personal style.
