How would you define your style?
My style is very pieced together, so you can always tell that something was handmade or upcycled, or had a little bit of my personal details into it
Who are some of your favorite designers?
One of my favorite designers is Nicole Mclaughlin, she’s an upcycling designer. She has a lot more avant-garde pieces, but she’s definitely a creative that I look up to
Where do you like to shop in New York City? What neighborhood? What stores?
I don’t necessarily have a neighborhood or store just because I thrift most of my clothes or I make them myself
How has your fashion evolved over the years?
I started making clothes because I couldn’t find clothes that fit me and now I’m making clothes because I have a full-time job where I’m doing it so I found myself wearing a lot more creative pieces
How do you define your pieces?
My pieces are unique and affordable
