As an eclectic maximalist, I love how anything can be worn and adapt for an outfit with inspiration coming from the unlikely of places.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out through contrasts - mixing textures and fabrics, finding balance in asymmetry, and blending the special with the everyday. I’m known for a campy touch and a love of oversized, impractical hats and accessories that complete the look. My outfits spark both smiles and eye rolls - and that reaction is exactly the point.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment wouldn’t just be about the clothes - it would be about the people. I want to experience the full spectrum: the designers, seamstresses, and visionaries who bring concepts to life, as well as the bohemian artists and eclectic attendees who make fashion a living, breathing community. For me, the magic is in being surrounded by creativity from every angle, where artistry and individuality meet in one shared space.
What would you do with $20,000?
Buy a really nice hat and then donate it to local charities and nonprofits in the Washington, DC area. There’s a massive fight going on for our democracy, and I want to support the community I love so much through that.
