What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because I don’t chase trends. I create a style that feels true to me. I love experimenting with bold colors, unexpected pairings, and pieces that reflect my personality. It’s confident, and uniquely me, rather than what’s on trend.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

For me, it would be walking down an international runway that demonstrates style knows no limits of age or height. I’d love to show that confidence and creativity matter more than fitting into a box. Another dream moment would be meeting Pharrell Williams, whose fearless approach to fashion inspires me to keep pushing boundaries.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would donate it to the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. Their work makes a real difference in people’s lives, and I know they could put the funds to meaningful use to live their vision of helping those living with HIV to thrive and to eliminate new cases of HIV. While style is about self-expression, it’s also about using my platform to give back and uplift others.
