Who is your style icon and what inspires you? My mom

been very influential on my style. She’s probably one of the
peop I know. I also follow lots of inte-

rior designers on Instag
Instagram. Kelly Wearstler is based in
California and she has great taste and style. As an interior
designer, I’m really into textiles and patterns or textures. A

transcends into what I wear.
I see dressing as a way of expressing my creativity. It’s an art
form, too.

What’s something no one knows about you or would be sur-
