What makes your style stand out?

My personal style stands out amongst the rest because it takes luxury sophistication and mixes it with individuality. I would say that I know how to take classic pieces and make them feel current, personal and intentional. Unlike others who may simply follow trends, I approach style with a curated eye for elegance!

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment isn’t just a runway, it’s a curated world. Imagine this, a series of immersive pop-ups, each one being a cultural love letter housed in iconic, luxury locations such as Venice, Sicily, Berlin, Morocco, you name it. Each destination becomes more than a backdrop, it becomes the muse. The collections themselves would be intimate dialogues with meaning. It would not be just fashion, it would be a tribute to craftsmanship, heritage and modern silhouettes.

What would you do with $20,000?

With the $20,000, I would travel with a purpose. Coming from someone who has yet to have the opportunity to leave the U.S., I would travel to places that deepen my creative perspective. I would use this time to connect myself with craftspeople with lifetimes worth of experience and immerse myself in local techniques. For me, this wouldn’t be just prize money, it would be the start of something real. A chance for me to begin building what’s been living in my head and heart my whole life.
