What makes your style stand out?

I don’t follow rules or trends—I wear what I love, often monochrome from head to toe. Every look is a full production, from makeup to accessories, crafted with purpose, sometimes mixing patterns, colors, and accessories for a complete statement. ‘More is better’ is my only rule. Each outfit tells my story, expressing who I truly am while inspiring others to embrace their own style fearlessly.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is seeing the sketches that once filled my notebook come alive on the runways of major Fashion Weeks—New York, London, Paris, Milan. The lights, the music, the energy—each design telling a story of resilience and self-belief. With Yli’s Love Look and Yli, Love How You Look Beauty empowering people around the world, I dream of not just attending but walking those runways—proving you don’t need to be six feet tall to stand tall in your purpose.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use the $20,000 to turn my dream into reality—opening a Yli’s Love Look Boutique, a space where beauty meets empowerment. It would be a dream built with purpose, where every person who walks in feels seen, valued, and inspired to love who they are when they look in the mirror… and to carry that confidence into every moment of their lives.
