Dressing up is my love language: cute, classy, and a wink of seduction that makes me feel unstoppable.

What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s bold yet feminine, luxurious yet effortless. I love mixing textures, colors, and statement accessories in a way that feels powerful and glamorous while still authentic to me. Whether it’s pairing a soft flowing set with snakeskin boots, denim with pearls, or satin with fur, I create looks that are eye-catching and unforgettable. My fashion is about confidence, storytelling, and turning every street into a runway.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to walk for designers across the spectrum vintage, luxury, and everything in between. I want to show the world that even though I come from the Dominican Republic, a small country in the Caribbean, anything is possible when you chase your dreams.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I had $20,000, I would first pay off my college tuition. I’m studying political science with the goal of becoming an immigration lawyer, so I can fight for and uplift immigrants across the globe. I would also like to donate to my home country, the Dominican Republic, to support communities living in poverty. For me, it’s about using every blessing I receive to create opportunities not just for myself, but for others too.
