The textures, colors, print mixing, and statement pieces, with differing silhouettes are where my self expression lives.

What makes your style stand out?

My mom owned a thrift shop when I was younger. It was like a candy store in exploring my sense of style. Trying on vintage, pre-loved, patterned, textured, oversized, slim fitted clothing. Ranging from materials of cotton, silk, wool, etc. There, I learned to appreciate high quality fabrics. My style continues to expand year by year. A mix of structured, thrifty, colorful, a dash of noir, all representing me. An appreciation for the life fashion pieces have lived prior to meeting me & after.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I dream of one day becoming a designer and creating my own clothing from scratch. To then transition to a fashion house. Presenting my curated pieces to other designers, models, and individuals in the fashion scene through a planned out fashion show. I overall dream of being happy in my most creative, artistic space and thriving in it.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would love to help in supporting my family and loved ones overall if having attained $20,000. I would also invest in my sewing career, really honing in on that skill, developing it to the furthest of my ability. If available, I would even open courses/classes on styling and fashion design to work alongside others who are interested in this field. I overall would love to provide resources like such to others who may not have had the access to it prior.
