Style is my rebellion and my poetry, it's how I turn contradictions into confidence and make the unexpected feel like home.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ayanna Childress in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
My style blends emo and alt with a whimsical twist like Doc Martens on a cruise ship. I blend dark edges with playful details, transforming moods into outfits that don't just fit in a space, but transform it. Every look is part rebellion, part dreamscape, unapologetically my own.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Seeing Gio's giant billboard inspired me to imagine my alt/emo/whimsical aesthetic on that scale, lighting up a skyline. My dream is a fashion moment that says, weirdness deserves the spotlight, and self-expression should tower over the city like a neon anthem.
What would you do with $20,000?
I'd use the $20,000 to finish school while building my fashion career, proving you don't have to choose between education and creativity. That balance would let me invest in my future, grow my voice in style, and inspire others chasing both their dreams and their diplomas.
