What makes your style stand out?

I think my style stands out from the materials I gravitate toward. I love natural fibers, such as mohair, cowhide, cashmere etc... This paired with bold colors and patterns, which I do not shy away from, can make for some great statement pieces that are versatile and fun to style! I also get inspiration from people around me, which constantly keeps me inspired and has my style in a continuous change/evolution. I think this keeps my style robust and not super linear in its aesthetic!

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Something (coming from my specific culture/background growing up) that I never even thought would be possible as my reality, is to be a successful stylist and/or creative director of a magazine! I have sacrificed a lot from family to career, etc... to pivot my original path into fashion and hopefully one day achieve this goal. That is my absolute dream fashion moment.

What would you do with $20,000?

I left Pre-med and lost a lot personally and financially to go into fashion. I would first and foremost pay off some debt that I have. I would also invest in my career (every stylist needs a base capsule collection as well as storage etc). I would also love to give back and fund workshops for young people in the Middle East. Introducing them to art and fashion as ways of self-expression & not shameful. Too often, kids feel pressured to follow traditional paths; I want to show they have options!
