What makes your style stand out?

I don’t chase trends—I archive them, rework them, resurrect them. My style is a living thesis: equal parts performance, protest, and provocation. I wear eras like armor, queering the seams of history. In a world drowning in fabric and starving for meaning, I dress to remind: fashion was never just about clothes—it was always about who gets to be seen; and how.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is a living exhibit where models, draped in reclaimed textiles, remain still until observed. Spectatorship becomes the catalyst for movement—fashion as performance, unfolding only through observation. Presence resists capture, echoing Phelan’s politics of disappearance. Each look queers history, asking who is seen, who watches, and what stories endure beyond the gaze.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d travel to different parts of the world, absorbing the cultural significance of garments to inspire a performance art piece—a burlesque dance weaving costumes that tell my evolving story. It’s a love letter to my childhood dresser, exploring identity through fashion’s transformations. Each look a chapter, every movement a memory—and definitely with a lot of sparkle ✨ wink
