I like my fashion because it
makes me feel
comfortable in my skin.
My style is unique because
it fosters the art of
simplicity and
understatement while
remaining very feminine.

I looked up to Frida Kahlo,
a self-portrait artist because
her style and identity are
intertwined with the love
of self. And, this is evident
through the bright flowers
in her hair, the long flowy
skirts, the embroidered
blouses, the striking
jewellery and her
legendary mono-brow.
They tell of a strong of a
woman who refused to
conform to the feminine
beauty ideals and who
dressed for no one else but
herself.
In future, I would like to be
known as the woman who
embraced her femininity
and saw beauty in her flaws
by wearing whatever made
her happy and not
conforming to any modern
day beauty ideals.
I do not consider myself a
trendsetter because trendsetting is all about being
ahead of the curve, which
is not me. So I prefer to
have my lane where I get to
play with beautiful colour
combinations, floral prints,
natural hair and a signature
oxblood ombre lip.
Lastly, I would rather wear
flowers in my hair than
diamonds around my neck
because my natural hair is a
fun outlet for
self-expression.
