Fashion was never about the nicest clothes or the best brands, it was falling in love, over and over with myself: whatever version that day

What makes your style stand out?
Being non-binary the fluidity of my fashion is dependent on my mood, my clothing options, but never the weather. My closet consists of what I find at my local thrift shops or friends clothing swaps. I wear shirts in layers, a skirt over jeans, and accentuate the look with make-up always some freckles of glitter.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Naomi Campbell fashion show in 1993, where the 9-inch purple heel broke on the runway was a dream fashion moment that has stuck with me. The untouchability of that moment, redefined for me what a moment could be, a moment of chaos or a moment of humanity. I channel this as I forge my way as an artist in the business world, while I teaching artists business skills and curate my own style. I find humanity in the chaos. I will take this walk all the way into the Oval Office.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000 dollars I will invest in my business, HUMANMADE_humboldt. Creating opportunities and accessibility for artists is my lifelong passion, I’ve been able to do it starting from negatives, I can do so much with some money and accessibility in my pocket.
