I am passionate about style because it’s how I’ve learned to enjoy being on this earth. I’m done hiding who I am. I am REDD.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is a REDD, intense, multifaceted symbol—one of power, passion, and urgency—that transforms my body into emotional landscapes. Inspired by surrealism, I aim to stretch the limits of reality and reveal inner worlds where both struggle and resilience coexist. Each garment that hugs my body in shades of red creates an alternate dimension where the Black queer experience can be felt and seen without inhibition.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is clear. I want to see the impact of my fashion philosophy represented on others in the world. That philosophy is simple. If you love it, put it on! And don’t let even your closest peers tell you to change. It would be a dream to see that reflected on a larger scale.
What would you do with $20,000?
As I build upon my relationships with nonprofits and local businesses I will be able to come back to them and partner to produce much larger immersive experiences that include so many other talented local individuals. Funding would allow me to work with sounds and lighting technicians better equipped to handle large scale production and ultimately realize more captivating ideas at scale. The REDD Experience has already been successful here in Detroit. I intend to grow!
