My entire life I’ve felt like the underdog. Except when I found one thing. Self expression. I take inspiration from David Bowie and Madonna.
What makes your style stand out?
I think what makes my style stand out is the fact that I truly put time and effort into understanding the history of what I’m wearing and the community It was brought to me by. Rather than just putting on things that I think look cool. When you put energy into learning the history, it helps you better express your future. I’ll always wear whatever makes me feel like me no matter if it is “conventional” or not
What’s your dream fashion moment?
You know what’s funny, I’ve thought about this moment so many times before but when it comes to picking just ONE I can’t. I envision myself exploring and diving into every area of fashion and expressing myself in the whole nine yards. I have so many ideas, urges and questions and I think that’s the beauty of fashion. NOT knowing. Going into things blind but not lost. The unknown is where the beauty truly emerges.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would help my dad pay off some debts and then I would apply to Polimoda fashion institute in Florence Italy. I would finally live my life the way I know I’m meant to. I would surround myself in only the areas that connect to my soul and help me bloom as a person. Life is too short to not go for it. I will send love to everyone who has helped me thus far and celebrate the joy of life with them.
