Fashion fuels me—it’s my way to connect art and identity, showing who I am and who I can become through style.
What makes your style stand out?
My style thrives in contradictions. I twist the rules of dressing, reimagining pieces outside their norm to create something fresh. I mix structure with fluidity, sharp tailoring with soft draping, and elegance with edge. Each outfit is a new composition—unexpected pairings, silhouettes, and moods—proving style isn’t about fitting in, but reshaping what’s already there into something uniquely mine.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To attend a major fashion week! And to style a large scale campaign for an iconic fashion house - my favourites being Schiaparelli, Dior, and Mugler :)
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use $20,000 to jumpstart my journey as a fashion stylist—creating editorial looks that tell real stories and showcase diverse voices. I’d invest in shoots that build my portfolio and set aside a fund to travel for styling opportunities, internships, and mentorships, so I can learn from industry professionals and turn my dream into a lasting career.
