“At its core, my style is a uniform with oddball additions. I’m almost always in black denim, a shirt in some shade of the grayscale, boots, and my camera bag. My outfits have to be able to handle work and dancing. Aside from that, I love anything that flows and moves around me.”

“I would describe my style as sharp, unexpected and transitional. I tend to build outfits around key pieces that can be styled several different ways. My key piece this fall is the denim shirt.”

“I grew up with an extensive costume chest filled with my mother’s old clothes from the ’60s and ’70s, dance leotards, and theatre/Halloween costumes. Many of the items from that chest later became part of my wardrobe. The chest represents how I assemble my closet: parts of it from others, parts of it from fantasy and parts from creation. I view fashion as a blend between imagination, nostalgia and composition.”

“Things that inspire my style: pink plastic lawn flamingos, women’s curves in the ’70s, the color matrimony between fig and avocado, and the belief that you should pick what you want to be doing/how you want to feel first, then dress accordingly i.e sometimes it’s a vintage briefcase day and sometimes it’s a skateboard day.”
