'I loathe knowing that someone can have on my outfit...'

'I am an all around creative. I've been a graphic designer professionally for 15 years, but just picked up sewing 3 year ago. I love making my own clothes because I loathe knowing that someone can have on my outfit. About 85% of my wardrobe are garments I made.

My style is classic, simple, with a bit of edge or unexpected detail. Darts on a garment gives me life, lol! I pride myself on knowing what works for my body AND current fashion trends while making them "age appropriate" for me. Auditioning for Project Runway motivated me to keep working my passions of sewing, fashion, and design!'

'There's no boundaries, it's whatever you want it to be, whenever you want it...'

'Fashion is neither right nor wrong. It's a walking opinion. Fashion is what you create that doesn't needs explaining, the style speaks for itself. I remember wearing Lacoste Polo's and Levi 501 Denim in high school with Saucony's. At first people don't understand it, but I go back to 'style speaks for itself', but as time goes on they respect it.

I'm a Food Scientist. Always loved food and the science behind it, similar to fashion, I love the design and process. I'm extremely fortunate to find two things that I love to do and get paid for them both. For me, Food and Fashion are parallel. There's no boundaries, it's whatever you want it to be, whenever you want it.'

'I was first introduced to fashion in high school. Up until that point my mom dressed me, it was the standard Polo and Levi Jeans (light jacket or coat in the fall/winter). In high school I discovered what worked for me. At the time, Armani Exchange was my favorite selection. Then it grew into Evisu as I became senior going to college. It has always been a clean button down, crisp denim or trousers with slip ins and tassels or crisp white sneakers.

As I've matured, my style has become polished and exemplary of who I am. I love the freedom of knowing who I am, my style and what I'm doing at that moment with high confidence. I've learned that, trends come and go, but style is timeless. It's like discovering your identity, you make the rules.'

'I love being the guy with the bold windowpane suit...'

'Being raised in Brooklyn, New York I was never really exposed to men constantly wearing suits and I just went with the trends that would consume my neighborhood. It was not until I started working in Manhattan that I noticed the difference not only the vibes but the looks that were given to well dressed men in suits.

Once I landed a job with suit supply I had the training to have a particular eye for certain combinations color wise and texture wise. Once I had the proper training in the does and don'ts in men's suiting I took what they gave me and ran rampant.

I love BOLD suits statement pieces, the suits that really catch your eye. I love being the guy with the bold windowpane suit with a vibrant burnt orange tie and a double breasted checked waistcoat. I love bold patterns and bold colors. I'm young now but I pretty sure this ideology will stick with me till I'm 6 feet under!'
