I feel that self expression and authenticity is important. I love putting together a look that is well balanced and intentional.
We would like to thank you for supporting Chelsea Reyes 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 like to add elements that are eye catching. I feel like an outfit can have voice and I ask myself what I want to say with it. Sometime I want to balance darkness and shine, to show that darkness can be beautiful. That concept of dressing up darkness mirrors the idea that there is no criteria to what can be valued and admired. Beauty is not about bright. Beauty is depth, symbolism, and a cohesive theme.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I am living my dream in little pieces when I put together an outfit that is true to my vision/expression. My dream is for my authentic style to speak to other people. Any moment where a mass audience would analyze, find meaning and pull apart the layers of intention that is within visual art. I feel emotional elements belong in fashion. I want to be who I am and say what I have to say. With all that I am I have every reason to be loved, because does every human.
What would you do with $20,000?
Invest partly in my line of graphic T-shirts Honeyaruadesign, which are hand prints of my canvas art. And to move to LA to continue to pursue acting and writing.
