I’m currently a 20-year-old Fashion Stylist/MUA with a growing passion & interest in streetwear. Fashion is where I’ve always felt authentically me and I hope to inspire individuality and authenticity through the expression of style to others. I previously studied Fashion Design and am currently in the process of getting certified through Yellowbrick & The Fashion Institute of Technology in pursuit of my career in styling.
Heaven’s Favorite Rejects was a concept I came up with for a school project. I wanted to combine the idea of purity and filth- two raw parts of humanity. Someone who stays authentic to their individuality often turns heads and stirs up conversation, that’s what I hoped to encapsulate within the outfits. Becoming your own trendsetter without shame is exactly what HFR is about. Conceptually, Heaven’s Favorite Rejects are fallen angels living amongst the streets with everyday people. These angels are too “pure” for Earth but too “filthy” for Heaven. They have no shame in their identities and embrace not fitting in. Fashion wise I wanted to focus more on menswear. I brought this concept to life through various streetwear & thrifted pieces. The style is very grungey with touches of preppy and lots of black & white, but the details in accessories and silhouettes carry on the storyline. I plan to continue to build off this concept & brand in the future.
Of course, I couldn’t have brought this vision to life without such an amazing & supportive team of friends! Special thanks to Eli for photographing the whole shoot- & Tyler for videographing behind the scenes. A big thank you to Patrick, Alana, Colby, Eli, and Tyler for modeling the styled outfits.
