Style is my voice: fearless, fluid, and unapologetic. It’s how I turn confidence into art and inspire others to own their shine.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is rooted in storytelling. Growing up in South Asian dance taught me poise, rhythm, and how to command attention without words. I blend that heritage with modern fashion, mixing bold silhouettes, unexpected textures, and a fearless attitude. Every look is movement, culture, and confidence colliding. I don’t just wear clothes, I let them speak.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is stepping onto an international runway in a look that feels like a story—heritage fused with modern edge. I imagine South Asian craftsmanship reimagined through daring cuts, bold structure, and radiant detail. The lights hit, the music swells, and I’m not just modeling clothing, but embodying strength and representation. It’s more than being seen; it’s showing others they belong in spaces they never imagined. That collision of culture and couture is my dream.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest in building my career as an actress and model, funding training, headshots, and opportunities to grow in the industry. I’d also create content that highlights representation, giving visibility to people of color who rarely see themselves in luxury spaces. My goal is to show that you don’t need connections or privilege to belong in fashion and entertainment. This would be a chance to open doors for myself while inspiring others to chase their dreams fearlessly.
