My style is my audacity and celebration, honouring my late mum, my roots, and inspiring others to live boldly, freely, and without apology.

What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s 100% me. It’s bold, a bit unexpected, and always has a personal touch, whether that’s a nod to my roots with vibrant mix of prints and patterns or textures, or elevated styles that reminds me of my mum. I don’t follow trends or rules, I just wear what matches my vibe for the day or occasion, feels true, and people feel, and are inspired by that energy.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Hmm, my dream fashion moment? I’d say, walking into a room and having someone feel seen because of what I’m wearing and how freely I express myself through my style. The icing on the cake would be THE ultimate style queen, Rihanna, being present in this room, and us locking eyes, and she mumbles “oh, I love your outfit”. LOL! That would be THE dream fashion moment, for sure!
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use the $20k to start a social enteprise, a clothing brand that celebrates and inspires creativity, individuality and freedom through mixed prints, patterns, textures. Style as art and style as fluid. I’ve also felt like I never quite fit the ‘mold’, so tied to this brand would be a nonprofit centred around young creatives who feel like they don’t quite fit the mold. It’s not just about clothes, to be honest, it’s about giving people the confidence to show up as, and dare to be, themselves.
