Me being able to express myself through fashion has brought me a long way. It has kept my intrusive thoughts away.

What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s fearless. I mix masculine and feminine codes, couture and street, structure and play. I treat every outfit as a mood board come to life it’s not just about what I wear, it’s about the presence and energy I bring with it. I make contrasts work in harmony, and that unpredictability is what makes me unforgettable.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is walking my own collection down a runway in Milan or Paris — seeing models in designs that started as sketches in my notebook and became statements on a global stage. That moment, where the world recognizes a vision that came straight from me, would be the ultimate realization of my fashion journey.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would invest directly into the foundation of my future fashion house. That means sourcing fabrics, developing prototypes, and building a first capsule collection that shows the world my vision. It wouldn’t just fund clothes it would fund the first step toward a brand that I see one day standing next to Acne Studios, Jaded London, and Tombogo.
