What makes your style stand out?

At 55, my style reflects creativity, confidence, and authenticity. As a hairstylist, I see fashion as self-expression, but coming out at 38 truly set me free. This year, I celebrated 15 years of marriage to a man whose love of style surpasses mine and inspires me daily. With him, I’ve embraced risk, boldness, and truth—becoming the most authentic version of myself. My look isn’t just fashion; it’s the story of a life lived with pride.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Visiting the flagship store of Rick Owens in Paris last year. To see in front of me the vision and texture that creates his art was breathtaking. Although not in my price range I marvelled at what was in front of me and for just a few minutes I felt connected to the trueness of fashion art, and that is the power it has to influence.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I was the winner I would use it to update and enhance my wardrobe and enjoy every moment using the money to create a dream closet! I would not feel guilty for even a moment and embrace the feeling and power of fashion.
