I was brought up in a very Asian, academic household. I was always the black sheep that loved fashion, dressing up, and expressing myself!
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it's me, it's authentic to who I am and what I love. The little details, the accessories, are all there for a specific reason, and every piece holds meaning for me. I think I am authentic in the sense that most of the time I dress for what I want to wear, not what everyone else is doing. I love finding ways to make comfortable look chic and affordable clothing look timeless.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is when the outfits I wear become so iconic that people dress up in my outfits for Halloween.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would use the $20k to reinvest in my art and the artists in the fashion industry. I have met some amazing up-and-coming fashion designers, stylists, fashion photographers, and models who I want to invest in amazing shoots and marketing to get more eyes on the POC, underdogs, misfits, and underestimated artists that are ready to show the world we are here!
