What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it blends vintage Hollywood glamour with rebellious burlesque energy. I design with storytelling in mind — every piece feels like part of a show, with sparkle, drama, and romance. I’m inspired by starlets, stage costumes, and mid-century glamour, but I always twist it with bold, playful details that make it unforgettable. My work isn’t just fashion — it’s an atmosphere, a performance, and a feeling of confidence for anyone who wears it.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be stepping out in one of my own creations — a glamorous robe or gown dripping with sparkle — on the arm of my sweetheart, arriving at a film premiere or fashion gala. Cameras flashing, people turning their heads, and me knowing I’m living fully in my vision: glamorous, confident, and unapologetically myself. That moment when the world sees me not just as a designer, but as the star of my own story.

What would you do with $20,000?

⸻ My dream business is My Big Romance — a brand that celebrates glamour in every form with couture robes, burlesque-inspired paper dolls, and a luxe skincare & makeup line. With $20,000, I’d invest in polished packaging, production, and marketing, and hire a diverse team of super divas of all genders, ages, and backgrounds, because glamour belongs to everyone. I’d also create a showcase event where Hollywood glamour meets modern inclusivity.
