Fashion lets you express who you are and who you want be. It’s a way of allowing all parts of ourselves to exists in beauty
What makes your style stand out?
I am a romantic at heart and have surrounded myself with the romance and beauty of life. I have shadowed artists, photographers and film directors since I was 16. I worked under a fashion designer for almost three years and am almost finished with a degree in art history at UC Berkeley. I am also Chicana, having lived in Mexico the first 15 years of my life. My culture, love for the expressive and education in formal beauty all contribute to my daily style, making it unique to me.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I would love to be dressed by Willy Chavarria, and possibly walk down a runway or participate in an editorial fashion shoot. I would love to attend New York fashion week and be able to style myself while going to shows and admiring the works of art of others.
What would you do with $20,000?
With 20 thousand dollars I would take my sisters on a trip and use the rest to finance moving in with my elderly grandmother once I’m done with school/ pay off my student loans. This answer is not super glamorous but it is real. I would probably separate some for a vintage shopping spree for myself
