What makes your style stand out?
I bend rules, fuse eras, and wear confidence louder than the clothes themselves. My style stands out because I never play it safe. I mix unexpected textures, silhouettes, and influences to create looks that feel alive. Every outfit is a statement of confidence—rooted in individuality and designed to turn heads.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is strutting down a major runway with the world watching—owning the spotlight, leaving jaws dropped, and making my name unforgettable. Not just wearing fashion, but becoming fashion.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest it directly into building my fashion career—funding runway opportunities, elevating my portfolio, and creating bold looks that push boundaries. This prize wouldn’t just change my life, it would amplify my vision.
