Why Walk In Closet? 

I feel Walk-In Closet is special because each experience is completely unique. Being apart of WIC, along my sister, Marienne and good friend, Charisse, each of us are completely different in personality and style, yet they are still able to represent us in unity (#girlpower!). WIC is connected to a diverse body of people who appreciate and respect quality — in anything! In fun, travels, home and obviously, clothing.

The wardrobe I’ll be parting with represents such a significant part of my growth and life journeys over the past ten years. I’ve learned so much about who I am. I’m always experimenting and remaining honest to how I want to express myself in that moment. And what I’ve learnt is, the only constant is change. Be open to it and have fun! Closet’s tell many stories and WIC does just that.

Tell us a bit about yourself? 

I’d like to think I’m a human version of Elmyra from tiny toons. I have a quiet and dark obsession with cuteness. I love freedom of expression. I’m not shy of worshipping strangers in public (if you catch my eye) either.

In this alternative universe, I am a makeup and hair artist now based in my hometown, Toronto, previously lived in British soil, and occasionally travel for work and/or play. I meet new people for a living and stroke their faces with the finest brush hairs from exotic goats in mountains so high you need a spaceship. I’d like to continue living my life searching for uniqueness. Everyone is. Protect it with all your heart!

Personal Style? 

Futuristic tomboy (cozy dipped in glitter)

Style Inspirations? 

No one in particular. Many of my influences are from ‘90s and early ‘00s rnb/rap/pop music videos. Mary J. Blige signature dark lips, Lil Kim’s flashiness, everything in En Vogue’s in “free your mind”, early videos by Hype Williams, SPICE GIRLS, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson in Scream, the list goes on… I felt that style and music was so ahead of it’s time.

Style Quote of the Moment? 

“Don’t knock it till you try it”

Favourite Fashion God(s)? 

All the O.G.’s in Advanced Style

Style Rule of the Moment? 

Always be yourself (and remember, there can/will be many versions). Have fun and stay fly!
