i’m a designer, a 51nner, a culmination of internet culture, religious indoctrination, & the infantilization of my generation. #THENETVSGOD
What makes your style stand out?
my style looks like it’s from another internet. i dress like i’m half ghost half founder. everything i wear comes from the idea of control: how clothes can move people, how design can build belief. it’s not flexing but distortion. i treat outfits like signals. if i wear something it’s because it says something about power, emotion, and what people worship online. fiftyone isn’t fashion to me, it’s frequency. my fits always look a little off, like something’s wrong with the photo,
What’s your dream fashion moment?
doing my first runway show. not a normal one. i want it in a parking garage with flickering lights and broken speakers. no influencers, no big logos. just sound, shadow, and people who feel like something’s about to happen. the show would be built like a virus w/ slow rollout, hidden codes, weird invites. every outfit would mean something in the storyline of the brand. i don’t care about being the loudest i care about being the one they don’t forget.
What would you do with $20,000?
i’d use it to seed fiftyone’s next phase. not for hype, but infrastructure. 5k to finalize manufacturing lines- secure bulk deals, finish tech packs, lock new fabric sources. 3k for product photography, film, and lookbook equipment—> create content that feels like film stills, not ads. 2k for a micro showroom pop-up in LA or NY, small room, heavy energy, invite only. 5k into marketing infrastructure—>sms, email, pixel learning, segmented funnels. etc
