It's my upbringing. My mother instilled within me a sense of pride, to always be clean and present myself well in public.
We would like to thank you for supporting Calvin Thomas 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?
I love to wear different patterns together, especially with my shirt and tie combinations. I wear a classic suit but go crazy with that combination. You only get to see a pie shape around your face, so I add color or interest there or wear odd color combinations together. I sometimes even mix different eras together. For example, I'll pair a pair of 1970s plaid pants with a simple black turtleneck and a modern leather jacket. Or use a vintage leather jacket with modern slim fitted pants.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Too many to name just one. At my wedding. At my first solo museum exhibition opening at any one of the major museums around the world.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would buy me a house, some canvasses, a tuxedo, and a new suit, of course. 😂
