What makes your style stand out?

My style mirrors nature — bold, evolving, and full of life. I love mixing organic tones, soft textures, and earthy layers that feel like growth in motion. Just like my plants, my look changes with the seasons but always stays rooted in authenticity.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

A runway or editorial shoot surrounded by rare plants, blending fashion with natural beauty — where my outfit feels like part of the landscape. I’d want the moment to show that style, like nature, thrives through care, patience, and individuality.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d expand my creative direction by designing a sustainable clothing line inspired by my love for tropical plants — using natural fabrics, soft greens, and marble patterns that mimic variegation. It would merge fashion and nature into something truly alive.
