Style is my wordless self-expression - it's how I reveal who I am, how I feel, and how I connect with others.
What makes your style stand out?
I like to think people see me as authentic, dressing with intent each time they see me. My style shows up in strong colors, silhouettes that suit my vibe, a mix of old and new, and through simple recurring details like a pocket square. Still, how I carry myself matters most-afterall, what's the point of couture or fast fashion if I'm not comfortable in my own skin? I value confidence, subtlety, and comfort. These are words I live by.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Wow! That's a really good question. My dream fashion moment today would likely be a nod to nostalgia with confidence. Specifically, drawing from my youth (70's and 80's) and elevating my recollections - hopefully with wisdom, comfort, and most importantly, individuality. That includes classic sneakers, jackets (can't miss w/sexy leather), and tailored modern streetwear (relaxed fit trousers, tee shirts, and leather). My dream fashion moment - strutting into Phoenix Fashion Week in my fave fit.
What would you do with $20,000?
Simple answer for me - I would see it as an opportunity to create a meaningful fashion journey. That means investment in some quality staples for me and my family, add some wardrobe pieces that are inspired by my youth but are updated, and commission some custom pieces designed by folks my brother recommended.
