Style can tell a story about a person without them saying a single word. It’s a way of seeing a persons experience and perspective of life.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ayumi Kamau 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?
What makes my style stand out is that I take little elements from my Japanese, Kenyan, and Atlanta cultures that are a huge part of who I am. I like to mix that with a more 2000’s look that reflects the era I was born in and the style that I looked up to growing up. I’ve always been a free spirited person, and the little girl that hated being told what to do, so I tend to add a little twist of boho in every outfit. My style reflects all parts of who I am.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be when I have a career to help people also reflect all parts of who they are in their clothes, so that they can feel comfortable and confident with who they are. I go to SCAD and I’m hoping with everything that I learned I can somehow contribute good into the world in my own way one person at a time.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I’m being honest, there’s a lot of things $20,000 can be put into. School loans is definitely the first thing that came to mind. I could also travel to go see my grandmother who inspired my fashion dreams. I could even jump start my styling business or do a fashion show that combines the music and fashion scene like I’ve always wanted to do. Which ever path I take, I’d make sure it’s put into something beneficial.
