My grandpa sold luxury fashion. I design costumes for film—stitching stories into style. His legacy drives me, and FW is my destiny.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s fearless—where couture meets costume, pattern on pattern collides with bold color, and 70s spirit fuses with modern edge. I don’t just design clothes, I dress with intention—every texture, clash, and detail is chosen to tell a story. My looks create characters, set scenes, and build worlds that stand apart because they’re unapologetically alive.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is carrying on my grandfather’s legacy by launching my own luxury line—living the fashion dream he began. Someday, seeing my creations command the runway will be the ultimate full-circle moment, where imagination becomes legacy and fabric becomes art.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I won $20,000, I’d invest it directly into building my luxury fashion line—sourcing sustainable fabrics, producing my first collection, and creating the runway moment I’ve dreamed of since childhood. It would be the seed money to turn my vision, my grandfather’s legacy, into a brand that lasts.
