Personal Passion

This section is fueled by my relentless passion and unyielding desire to explore self-expression. Here you can see pictures of me modeling different fashion, runway looks, and recreations of iconic fashion.

Maison Margiela 2024 Spring Collection Recreation

Designer Mason Margiela showcased his Spring 2024 collection at Paris Fashion Week and broke the internet with a makeup collaboration with Pat McGrath. The models donned this porcelain like skin and victorian esque makeup. A friend and I decided to recreate one of the looks. I did the hair and makeup myself, achieving the porcelain doll skin by airbrushing a watered down clear peel off face mask onto my makeup.

True Lucia Photoshoot

I was asked by True Lucia, a small business in Charleston, SC, to model some of their clothing items. Owner Gianna Lucia hand paints or screens all of her clothing items. The piece I was wearing was a special collaboration with her and another small artist in the area.

Edie Parker

A friend who works for the brand Edie Parker let my friends and I use products for a creative photoshoot. We had the opportunity to use a local studio space and had a field day using different props and outfits.

I have been fortunate enough to walk in three runway shows, all based in Columbia, SC. I have walked for designers Nori Noir and Anton & Maxine. Nori’s brand, Internet Crush, is a thrift and upcycling collective focusing on the unusual. His collections have his own personal flair as well as vintage elements. Diko, designer for Anton & Maxine, makes all of her garments by hand. I have modeled 2 of her collections, highlighting elevated basics.
