What makes your style stand out?

My style fuses refugee grit with a painter’s imagination. Each piece is a living canvas—alchemy of couture and survival, myth and humor. I channel my artist-designer mother’s fearlessness, turning the ordinary upside down, scraps into dreams and wearable stories that blur costume, ritual, and rebellion.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment isn’t about fame—it’s about alignment. Being at the right place at the right time, when art, chaos, and couture collide. Where an outfit becomes a portal—part rebellion, part revelation—and the world briefly mirrors my imagination. That perfect intersection of instinct, texture, and timing where style stops being worn and starts breathing.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d use it to grow my hand-painted couture line—where fine art meets wearable myth. Each piece is a living painting, merging sustainability with fantasy. The $20,000 would fund a collection: pigments, reclaimed fabrics, and a small studio to bring these visions—born in the pandemic—to life. It’s more than fashion; it’s reclaiming the freedom to turn survival into splendor.
