My biggest inspiration is dance, having participated in street dance from a young age as well as competing in street dance competitions has influenced my style massively. This is because I was exposed to street style and street wear at these competitions from the age of 9, I take a lot of inspiration from many dance icons such as Michael Jackson and Parris Goebel.
Another main inspiration for my creative ideas is the world of DIY, I’m very inspired by the aspect of taking a piece of clothing new or old and modifying it to make it more original or suited to my style that retail brands can’t offer. I take inspiration for my DIY from Youtubers and Instagram accounts such as @Foreverflawlyss.
