Coleen Kyne

How I dress is how I communicate and make space for myself in every room. I get up everyday because I have curated a closet to tell my story

What makes your style stand out?

I love mixing and matching colors and prints, and a statement piece or accessory is always a necessity. Almost any day, you can catch me in outfits that have been planned head to toe. If you come into my home, you might only see clothing. I'm always on the hunt for my next vintage or designer piece. I think I bleed clothing at this point.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

While some people dream of walking the runway or being on a magazine, I dream of styling the models walking and posing. I dream specifically of styling a campaign shoot for Vivienne Westwood. I've looked up to her and her brand since I picked up my first fashion magazine. You can check out my work below or over at my insta

What would you do with $20,000?

I believe it's important to reinvest back into the communities that helped shape you. I would take 20%-40% of the prize money to do exactly that. In my city of Portland, OR, I would like to fund a community closet for trans and lgbtq+ youth and a women's shelter, most likely Rose Haven. With the remainder, I would invest in myself. Between building my stylist portfolio, Im in desperate need of a website revamp and renting a space to hold my collection of rentable garments.
