1930s

“My looks are always a curated mix of color and texture inspired by a focal piece. I created this palette around the fabulous green heart bag made by my friend and neighbor Alegrias Art, combining a locally thrifted 90s Roughrider top with striped earrings gifted by a bestie. Color-blocking contrast was achieved with my mom’s pre-loved yellow trench, periwinkle tights from Amazon, and a velvet blue skirt from Vers BK monthly clothing swap. I added light pink Docs – found them on Gem! A bittersweet replacement for an identical over-loved neon pink pair. And finished it off with a Kangol raspberry beret, shout out to Prince! I’m a tropical island transplant who loves living in NYC and is obsessed with drag, anime, costuming, and anything theatrical. My colorful style is fueled by these vibrant themes that move me.”

“I’m inspired by music, the 70s, hippies, artists and activists, my friends, soccer, skaters, surfers, and editorials. I love things that don’t match but go together.The bandana is from my company called Sable New York, jacket Wilson, shirt 7 for All Mankind, skirt Nudie, belt thrifted, boots Tecovas, and sunglasses from a gas station.”

“I’m wearing a cropped jean jacket I thrifted years ago, a vintage Frederick’s of Hollywood corset my mom gifted me, some ripped ballet tights from my old dance classes, a pair of Lamoda chunky heels I thrifted a few months ago, and a pair of red velvet bloomers with a ruffle hem that I also thrifted about a month ago. Eroticism, sensuality, femininity, & connection with one’s body are the core principles of my style. It’s important to me to feel powerful in what I’m wearing, and for me that is by emphasizing glamour and adding eccentric touches. The clothes you put on your body are made for you to express yourself, it’s an art form. I wear what I want, when I want, how I want!”
