I can’t convince my self to stop trying for an opportunity in this industry, I keep trying and that tells me I’m passionate.
What makes your style stand out?
My Dominican heritage, Spanish culture and where and how I was raise makes my style stand out, there’s so much style when you’re raised poor.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I have so many fashion dream moments besides dreaming and envisioning my styling work on covers of major magazine. A true fashion moment probably would be a Met Gala, Oscars, kids collaboration with Chanel just to name a few.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest to help me with a children’s clothing line that I started during the pandemic. I haven’t completed it or pickup where I left off because life has financially challenged me.
