Style excites me as it blends creativity, culture, and identity, letting me inspire others while embracing my authentic self.
We would like to thank you for supporting Blaise Irankunda 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 its originality and meaning. I don’t just follow trends—I interpret them in my own way. My style is about confidence, creativity, and cultural storytelling, blending elegance with bold choices that highlight personality. I use fashion as a language to express emotions, celebrate uniqueness, and inspire individuality in others. Every outfit I wear carries intention, blending modern influence with timeless identity, making my presence unforgettable.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is being featured on a major runway or magazine cover, where my style tells a story beyond trends. I want to showcase authenticity, cultural influence, and bold individuality, leaving people inspired. That moment would represent more than fashion, it would represent art, passion, and empowerment.
What would you do with $20,000?
It would allow me develop my fashion dreams creating original designs, participating in shows, and expanding my personal brand. I’d invest in education, tools, and resources to refine my craft while building opportunities to collaborate with other creatives to stand out in this field. A portion would support causes I care about, making the money meaningful both for my career and for giving back to the community that fuels my passion.
