What makes your style stand out?

One of the reasons I feel my style stands out is because I’ve always been a very confident and free-spirited individual. I’ve always been open to trying different things, especially learning about different cultures and their creativity—whether that be art, music, dance, writing, or any form of self-expression. With that openness, I believe it shapes who you are stylistically, which naturally shines through in your style.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

One of my many fashion dreams is to do a collaboration collection with Valentino and to sing during a Valentino fashion show in Paris. Valentino has always been an inspiration to me. The Avant garde of his work has always left a lasting impression on me . Valentino Garavani is one of our founding fathers when it comes to fashion.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won the $20,000 cash prize, I would invest it directly into bringing my fashion vision to life. Part of it would go toward developing my own collection that reflects individuality and self-expression, while another part would be used to learn from mentors and expand my skills. I’d also want to use the opportunity to create something bigger than myself whether that’s supporting up and coming talent or using fashion as a platform for empowerment!
