Q: How would you describe your personal style in 3-5 words?
A: Fearless. Current. Wild-card.
Q: Where do you shop? Luxury or high street? New or vintage? Boutiques? Online?

Q: If you had $300 for a shopping spree, how many items would you buy?

Q: What do you love about fashion? Not love?
A: I love that you can be as creative and interesting as you want to be. Also, if I'm wearing something that makes a statement, it immediately becomes a talking point which allows me to meet many new people. Fashion helps me boost or maintain confidence because I know I look good. I dislike the racial stigma and body stigma in fashion for models, because it makes it very challenging for people to feel represented. However, I do like that fashion welcomes gender queerness and fluidity.
Q: Your favorite designers & brands?
A: My favorite haute couture brands are Christian Dior, Chanel, and Yves Saint Laurent. My favorite designers currently are John Galliano, Elie Saab, and Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce.
Q: Do you have any fashion rules when putting an outfit together?
A: I personally don't believe in fashion rules, because it limits your look. However, if I want to look put together on an off day I try to make sure I'm not wearing more than 3 colors or prints at once.
Q: What is your dream job?
A: I want to create my own modelling agency, design ready-to-wear clothing, and become A chef.
