ABOUT ME

Describe your fashion style.

It's hard to describe my style because there is what I wear, and what I wish I wore. There are also different occasions, like if I'm dressing casually, formally, for athleisure, etc. 

If you scrolled through my Pinterest fashion inspiration, you would see classy pieces with a modern twist. 

I like to think of it as the Blair Waldorf of 2022 meets a Parisian tourist for coffee at noon and then an American high school student who is still learning to drive shows up and stirs up some trouble. Then, they all get escorted from the cafe and bump into a fashion intern from New York and all became best friends for life, combine styles, and share all of their clothes.  In other words, my style is the love child of 2022 Blair Waldorf, a Parisian tourist, high school student, and New York fashion intern.

Who inspires your fashion?

As a teen in today's society of growing social media, I get a lot of inspiration from influencers. Over the past year or so, the people who most influence my style have changed.

 Currently, I am really inspired by Ella Mcfadin, Elsa Hosk, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and of course, Blair Waldorf.

Who inspires your designs?

Many designers have influenced my personal designs throughout the years, many from Project Runway. I have always loved Christian Dior because of the haute, opulent look from elegant to casual streetwear pieces. 

As someone who went to an environmental science middle school, I especially love Alexander Mcqueen's nature-inspired runway looks and the Spring/Summer 2006 runway. 

More recently, the Oscar De La Renta Fall/Winter 2018/2019 catwalk and even more recently, the Brandon Maxwell Spring/Summer 2021 Runway collection. 

I am also a huge supporter of Chanel Cruise 2021, I am in love with every piece and every look.
