I see style as silent self-expression. Your outfit speaks before you do, so why not give someone something to remember?

What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because I wear black not to blend in, but to command attention. Gothic fashion is often misunderstood, but to me, it’s a form of elegant rebellion. A way to embody mystery, power, and presence without ever having to raise my voice. I don't follow trends; I create moments. My all-black wardrobe isn’t about hiding it’s about being unapologetically seen on my own terms. In a world obsessed with color, I’ve mastered the art of standing out in the shadows.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Walking a midnight runway on the rooftop of a brutalist building, under a storm-lit sky, with thunder in the background. No bright lights just the gleam of moonlight on black leather, velvet, and chains. Every step echoing like a war drum. I’m not just wearing fashion, I am the moment. Dark. Unstoppable. Untouchable. No rules. No apologies. Just me, turning the whole industry on its head, proving that style doesn’t have to beg for attention it can own the night in silence.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d invest every dollar into creating a bold, boundary-pushing fashion line that celebrates dark beauty and individuality. From designing custom gothic pieces to sourcing sustainable, high-quality materials, my goal would be to build a brand that gives others like me a voice, a style refuge for those who don’t fit the mold. Style isn’t just about what you wear it’s how you build your tribe, challenge norms, and rewrite the rules. With $20,000, I wouldn’t just grow my dream I’d create a movement.
