What inspired you to apply for the "Celebrating Fashion Future" program?
What inspired me to apply for the Celebrating Fashion's Future program was hearing BRAG leaders and members talk about their experience with Steve Madden. Their energy about the opportunity stood out tremendously while describing the Steve Madden family. Words such as future, excited, and fashion all grabbed my attention. Additionally, celebrating fashion's future means shining a light on what's next for everyone who wants to inspire change. In times like these, fashion, fabrics, and colors can help bring creatives together.
What drives you? Share your passions, values, or a defining experience that shaped who you are today.
What drives me is knowing that there's always something new to create. This drives me to invest and take risks with my creativity. There are a plethora of ways to be creative, and I am passionate about Human Development and Fashion. People give the world something new everyday wether it be a shoe, a food, or an experience; The world is constantly evolving. Being able to see culture and make it your own while watching trends come and go, drives me to stay curious and excited about the future.
How do you see yourself as part of Fashion's future?
I see myself as part of fashion’s future by using my content and creativity to share ideas in a way that feels real and accessible. Through Instagram and visual storytelling, I explore style as expression without relying on heavy symbolism, showing that a strong outfit can simply feel good and stand on its own. My contribution is bringing ideas to life and making fashion feel less intimidating and more personal. Whether through styling, content, or concept-building, I want to inspire people to see fashion as something they can make their own.
