Style is energy—when you wear what you love, it builds confidence, inspires others, and turns fashion into self-expression.
We would like to thank you for supporting Cedric Hill 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 is original and rooted in culture — I created Respect The Culture (RTC), blending street grit with luxury craftsmanship
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is seeing Respect The Culture walk the runway alongside legendary houses like Versace. Not in competition, but in celebration — where culture, legacy, and luxury share the same stage. To watch my designs inspire others the way those icons inspired me, while giving the world a new voice in fashion, would be the ultimate moment.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest into Respect The Culture by expanding production and elevating my collections with the highest quality materials. Beyond the clothes, I’d use the funds to build a platform that creates opportunities for others — models, creatives, and young designers who need a chance. This $20,000 would help me grow RTC into more than a brand — into a cultural movement with real impact.
