I see style as a form of storytelling, self-expression, and self-liberation, and that's what keeps me inspired every day.
We would like to thank you for supporting Cole Baldwin 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 avant-garde with a refined, premium edge. I'm drawn to bold, boundary pushing pieces that challenge traditional fashion norms, yet still carry an essence of elegance. Avant-garde fashion is my favorite because it's more than just clothing, it's wearable art. It has the power to tell stories about people, culture, history, and emotions in ways that words sometimes can't.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be debuting a bold, unapologetic avant-garde collection at New York Fashion Week or Paris Fashion Week, something that sparks conversation and challenges the way people view clothing and identity. I visualize models walking in pieces that feel more like moving art than just traditional fashion, with every look telling more of the bigger story. Seeing my vision come to life on a global stage, and watching people connect with it emotionally, would be a dream come true
What would you do with $20,000?
With 20,000 I would invest in my education by putting it toward tuition at my dream design school. I don't currently have enough saved to afford it on my own, so this funding would make a huge difference in helping me take that first step into the fashion world. After graduating, I plan on starting my own fashion brand, so any remaining funds would go toward building that vision, from early development to launching my first collection.
