Fashion is my first language. Growing up introverted, my style said everything I was too shy to say. Now, it's my best conversation-starter.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is part fashion archive, part treasure hunt. I mix eras like cocktails, blending ’90s minimalism with a splash of ‘70s glam. I’m a collector at heart, always chasing the thrill of a rare find or a fresh designer who’s bending the rules. My closet tells stories and expresses my emotions in ways I can't always with words. My 'fits are layered with history, joy, rebellion ... and often a lil wink.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Spending the day in a designer’s archive—that’s the dream. Digging through racks of past collections, holding pieces with stories stitched into every seam. I want to hear why they kept that jacket, what inspired those buttons, how this silhouette came to be. I’m a total fashion history freak and collection nut, and there’s nothing better than geeking out with another collector over the beauty of what we choose to preserve.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d put it straight into my archive. There are many incredible pieces out there with a little wear or history on them and I’d love to give them new life. I’d prioritize scooping up forgotten gems and restoring them with care. My collection’s already swoon-worthy but the long game is preservation. One day I will donate it so others can learn from it, love it, and keep the fashion story going to the next generation. Fashion has changed my life, and I could gift that to future guys and gals.
