My wardrobe thrives with everything from pastel gowns to vintage fur coats, always paired with a perfectly coordinated shoe and jewelry!
What makes your style stand out?
I argue my style stands out in that it changes everyday. I am constantly wearing different aesthetics and I just adore every one of them! I typically go for a pair of 70's style Go-Go boots when I wear jeans, skirts, or even shorty shorts, but I also enjoy wearing Mary Jane's when the occasion is right. I absolutely adore wearing dresses, and I am not afraid of color or patterns!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I am an Apparel Design Student, so I am currently working my way towards my Senior Collection, Spring 2027. I have no experience in a fashion show yet, so to be able to get my name out there with this competition and even attend Milan 2026 would be a dream in itself. In my current stage in life, I am looking for experience, education, and opportunities.
What would you do with $20,000?
First I would pay my tuition. $20,000 would cover my entire senior year, leaving me with enough to put towards rent. I would save some to get a kickstart on my fashion career after graduation. I work extremely hard everyday but the money would give me an edge to buy better fabrics and materials that I can incorporate into my own work, as well as help pay for the transportation and other obstacles along the way.
