I love to create and recycle, the vest I made was completely from bottle tabs, I also made the pants accessories out of leather scraps!
We would like to thank you for supporting Cato Hernandez 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 stands out because I stick to what I love, I don’t let others tell me what’s cool and what isn’t. If I like it I’m gonna wear it, I stay knowledgeable about the new trends but I really just wear what I like trending or not.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would definitely be walking a runway. I’ve always wanted to be a model or style icon so being any part of the scene would be a dream. I always help my friends and family with their outfits so if I was able to help a huge majority find their style/ influence their style I would be ecstatic.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would probably invest into more clothes for part of it. I would also use it to help promote/ upgrade the business my friends and I are working on (thrifthavenpdx) it’s been 2 years of countless hours and it would a huge game changer. I want to bring accessible clothing back to the majority, so using some of that money I would definitely give clothes to those in need and try to do good in my community.
