What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s a breath of fresh air, a nod to dandyism in what André Leon Talley called a “famine of beauty.” A dandy studies elegance, I live it. As a fashion designer, my mission is to be a trendsetter. I dress in a way that inspires others the way I dream. I don’t just wear statements. I wear presence. You'll only see it when you see me when you see me coming through.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is creating an event that’s more than fashion and style but it’s an immersive spectacle born from my imagination. A world of lights, sound, and entertainment that inspires, captivates, and leaves a lasting mark. I want more than headlines, but a history-making movement in the culture of fashion where hearts, not just eyes, are lit by the same spark.

What would you do with $20,000?

With the $20,000, I would first donate 10% to outreach programs for the lesser fortunate. With the remaining balance I would use to launch my fashion haus. I would be able to launch my core brands that will allow me to become a self sustaining corporation. One of the brands will repurpose discarded fabrics into garments and items for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to philanthropic causes.
