What are you working on in class?
An apron, pants and a flare skirt.

Describe your personal style.
It really depends on my mood. I’m almost always wearing leather and I love studs, but I’m also into chiffon blouses and lace. Blazers are my obsession.

Where do you go on breaks from class?
I usually go to the library or the Starbucks across the street to get something to drink.

What are your favorite things about FIT?
My favorite thing about FIT is the fact that they hold these Precollege Programs for high school students. It really helps us if we plan to major someday in what we’re studying.

Who or what inspires you?
Street style always inspires me. I love walking around the city and seeing what people wear and how they put things together.
