I have always enjoyed dressing up and accessorizing with my own unique style. I love black and white looks or monotone single colors.
We would like to thank you for supporting Sapphire Beddingfield in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
I have a fairly unique physical appearance that i pair with long white braids and black and white fashion exclusively. My style can range anywhere from hyperfemme to gothic lolita or cyberpunk aesthetics, but always in some combination of all black, all white, or both. I don’t believe brand names make a fashion moment, i think creativity does. What you can do with the random clothing items you find or alter is much more impressive than buying the same exact big brand outfit a celebrity wore.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I would love to show people that a quality wardrobe does not mean drop shipping fast fashion on shein only to wear it once and move on to the next fad. Many of my clothing pieces are between 5-10 years old and I've just gotten so good at accessorizing or altering them that people are constantly asking where i bought them. The thrift store! Depop! Being fashionable just means being creative, not rich.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would put this money towards my career in wildlife conservation. I have worked with rescue animals for the last 6 years, and i am currently in a M.S. program for Wildlife Conservation and Management. I am looking forward to being one of the people actively helping increase populations size for various endangered species. If the way i like to dress in my off time helps me save animals like snow leopards and rhinos then it is well worth it.
