What makes your style stand out?

The different elements I choose to wear with my outfits reflect aspects of my personal style. My appearance can vary from understated to highly expressive depending on the day. On occasion, others have remarked that my distinctive style is unique and suits me well.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My ideal fashion moment occurred when Teyanna Taylor attended the red carpet event on September 16. Her ensemble reflect my personal style in part. I particularly appreciated each element of her outfit, right down to the headdress, which embodied elegance with a sophisticated and bold flair.

What would you do with $20,000?

I intend to allocate a portion of the $20,000 toward research and development, with the goal of fostering an innovative business concept that incorporates both fashion and authenticity. This investment would also support travel to explore diverse cultural experiences, which could further inform my approach. Additionally, I plan to enhance my apparel collection and renovate my personal closet, creating an inspiring and functional space for creativity.
