So much of life is spent blending in or focused on the “have-to’s.” Style is a chance to escape the mundane and be seen the way you want!
What makes your style stand out?
My style accentuates the masculine and blends tailoring with dress-making, bold pattern with refined fit and silhouette. My “style” is not everyday, because I create unique, custom garments for events and occasions. My pieces blend quality with originality. I enjoy stripping down historical fashion elements into simplified (or exaggerated) style choices that accentuate and empower whoever is wearing the garment, including myself! My style is structural and intentional.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream moment is a collection of moments spread across a long career. A collection of moments where I get to see someone wearing my pieces and transformed into a more authentic, more powerful version of themselves. I dream of sharing that creativity and freedom with as many people as possible.
What would you do with $20,000?
My goals require me to make some small (but necessary) up front investments in equipment. My sewing studio needs a couple things, to start! I would use some of the money to afford raw materials to just CREATE. I am so limited most of the time by time and extra finances to create things. This money could allow a window of time and relief to really work intentionally toward something bigger than one-off projects! I’d also take my fiancé on a nice date and do something special for my mom!
