When I was younger, I had an unshakeable sense of self that I expressed through my style. Now that I'm older it's how I challenge the world.
We would like to thank you for supporting Siena Bleu 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?
My style functions on bright colors and overlapping textures. It isn't just appealing visually--it appeals to the other senses too. I enjoy playing with maximalist concepts in a way that holds your attention. The more you look, the more there is to see. I am able to create silhouettes that are appealing--whether static or in motion--by considering the weight and volume of fabric and accessories. Planning an outfit is all about the details, after all.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is surprisingly based in music. As a vocalist, it would be a dream come true to one day perform live with Elton John in huge, dramatic outfits. Elton John's dynamic style has influenced my own to no end, and I look up to him as both a performer and fashion diva (and I must admit, I also envy his immaculate collection of sunglasses). To even hold a conversation with Elton John one day, to meet someone who has defined the path I walk, would be monumental.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000 dollars I could rest easy about paying for the remainder of my college education. At the same time, I would love to be able to repay my parents for their support somehow, perhaps by funding a trip for them. I would use the remaining funds after graduation to move and begin my own multi-media production studio so I could work alongside other creative people with bombastic style!
