Putting an ensemble together is like putting a puzzle together. It’s about creating something I feel empowered and comfortable in.
What makes your style stand out?
I break gender norms wide open. I fuse pieces from both menswear and womenswear to create looks that defy labels and transcend boundaries. For me, it’s not about rules—it’s about fashion as art, about serving presence. I refuse to live in a box, and my style makes sure no one dares put me in one.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment isn’t just one—it’s a journey. I want to study at FIT in New York to master the craft of couture and construction. I dream of working within the great houses—Valentino, Christian Siriano, Elie Saab, Kevin Germanier—absorbing their artistry and discipline. Ultimately, I see myself building my own atelier, a space where I can create without limits and bring my vision of fashion to life.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would put every dollar into launching my first official collection: The ParT’ Collection. It’s a celebration of disco glamour, Studio 54 energy, Bob Mackie’s showstopping brilliance, the divine sparkle of Diana Ross, and the modern power of Beyoncé’s Renaissance. With $20,000, I’d transform that vision into a collection that turns heads, commands runways, and announces my arrival in fashion.
