Fashion is my joy & special interest. I love dressing up anytime, feeling unique, and curating looks with vintage pieces full of history.
We would like to thank you for supporting Clarissa Montoya 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 it’s unapologetically mine. I love pulling in vintage pieces and creating looks that feel true to me rather than chasing what’s trending. Fashion has become my way of showing confidence and individuality, and that’s what I’m bringing into the Style Icon competition.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to design pieces that are truly unique while also honoring the designers and eras that came before me. I’ve always loved historical fashion, and I’d want to blend that inspiration into something that connects past and future. And honestly, I’d love to model my own pieces too, there’s something so powerful about wearing what you designed.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I had $2,000, I’d save most of it for school, but I’d also use a little to invest in my fashion journey, maybe vintage pieces, fabrics, or tools that could help me experiment and create. It would be a way to grow my style while also working toward my future.
