What makes your style stand out?

I stand out because I merge couture craftsmanship with modern innovation. For me, it isn’t just about clothes. It’s about storytelling through silhouette, texture, and detail. I’m inspired by timeless architecture, vintage couturiers like Balenciaga and Dior, and the idea of creating pieces that feel both innovative and enduring. Style gives me a language to translate ideas into something tangible and transformative, and that process fuels me every day.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is to create a memory that redefines elegance and leaves people seeing style in a new light. One that inspires them to embrace everyday dressing as a true reflection of their personality, rather than conforming to societal norms. For me, receiving a platform like this competition is the first step in bringing that mission to life.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would invest in my vision. By building my first collection that reflects my vision of timeless yet innovative design. I’d use it to source high-quality materials, collaborate with skilled artisans, and create pieces that showcase couture-level craftsmanship. Beyond the clothes, I’d put resources into presenting the collection in a way that inspires others. Using style as a platform to encourage people to express their individuality rather than conforming to norms.
