Anything can be expressed in fashion, culture, politics, emotions, providing an eye catching outlet for anyone

What makes your style stand out?
There aren’t any boundaries to what i wear, every outfit i choose is just based on what feels right to me, and almost every article of clothing or accessorie i have was handed down from my mom or found at a thrift store by my house. Fashion is my favorite form of creative expression and I want to encourage others to wear whatever they feel like wearing, not what they’re told they should wear
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I would love to see some concepts and drawings i’ve made come to life. Though im not sure what i want to do with my life yet, I have a passion for art and creativity and have designed and sewed my own outfits for concerts and other important events. So id love to have the freedom to create unconventional clothing and maybe even become an accessible designer for those interested in funky strange fashion who can’t afford the items their favorite fashion icons wear
What would you do with $20,000?
I’m hoping to pay back the people in my life who encouraged my creativity and supported me emotionally and financially. My parents and friends have supported me endlessly and despite my family not always having much to give me, they assured I had the resources to succeed no matter what. I’ve watched them make endless sacrifices for me and the least i can do is return the favor
