Style is self expression. Sometimes I want a minimalist style. Sometimes I want to go all out. I like to think of all the details.
What makes your style stand out?
My style reflects how I feel — confident, feminine, and effortless. I don’t believe you need super expensive pieces to express yourself; it’s all about how you put things together. I love mixing classics with something bold or unexpected, paying attention to the little details that make an outfit feel intentional and uniquely mine.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
A dream fashion moment is when everything aligns — the outfit, the energy, the mood — and it radiates enough confidence to inspire others.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I won the $20K, I’d use it to invest in my dreams — creating something meaningful that blends creativity, culture, and community. I’d also give back to causes that empower women to feel confident and independent, because true style isn’t just about how you look, it’s about what you do with what you have.
