Who are your style icons?
I’ve always admired people who never seem like they’re trying too hard. Gisele Bündchen has always inspired me because she’s effortlessly herself. She carries herself with quiet confidence, stays true to who she is, and has such a genuine connection with nature. My biggest inspirations are people whose style naturally reflects who they are.
What are your fashion non-negotiables?
Quality, authenticity and uniqueness. I’d rather have a few incredible pieces that tell a story than a closet full of things I’ll wear once. Working as a model has taught me that confidence is the best thing anyone can wear.
What has been the biggest career-defining moment for you?
Launching Savage Gaia. I’m so proud of myself for taking a chance on myself. Seeing people wear something that started at my workbench still feels so surreal.
What’s next?
I’m dreaming big…I hope to see Savage Gaia grow into a globally recognized luxury hat brand, known not only for its craftsmanship but also for the inspiration it provides. We’re working on new collections, exploring collaborations, and slowly expanding while staying true to what made people connect with the brand from the beginning. No matter how much we grow, keeping that personal touch will always be important to me.
