“I’m wearing a thrifted shirt, some pants I made, and my lion. His name is Bombo. I thrifted him in Chicago and ended up putting a strap on him so I could take him everywhere. I was in love with the fact that he didn't have a function other than being a stuffed animal and decided not to make him into a bag until recently when I needed him as a carry-on for a flight. What inspires my style is lots of patterns and colors and anthropomorphism. I started making my own clothes when I couldn't find much of what I wanted to wear in stores or what I did find was super expensive. I just want to create something beautiful and sentimental.”

“I am wearing a thrifted top, skirt, and bag from Vietnam, vintage cowboy boots, handmade jewelry by Heggy World and Tachibana Zakkaten. What inspires my style: Japanese pop culture (anime, manga), my friends, ravewear.”
