For me, garments are more than fabric. They tell stories, construct illusions, and reveal truths. To style myself is to create art in motion
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s uniquely and unapologetically me. It’s not styled for the gaze of the other side world but rather from a deep creative speak within…and that makes it uncontrollably beautiful.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I’ve always dreamt of curating a fashion show and exhibit, showcase moving and still pieces, stitched with culture and story telling. Attending any major fashion show would be a blessing but to create a living moving fashion art show would be my ultimate dream. To create something that doesn’t conform to any barriers.
What would you do with $20,000?
With 20,000, my dream of creating something larger than myself that tells the stories behind the diversity of art and being…would be funded as well as college. I have a dream of creating shows of art and fashion that showcase talent and fierceness beyond our societal limitations. Stitching culture, identity, disruption, love and artistic expression in an explosion of creativity. This show will span multiple states and then counties…taking activism and music to convey the messages of the people.
