I have always loved fashion. Fashion has allowed me to express myself and to bring out my creativity. I feel confident and empowered!
We would like to thank you for supporting Daniela Montalvo 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 am very open to different styles! My mood can contribute to what i wear each day, sometimes when i feel down, dressing up makes me feel empowered and confident in myself. Fashion is how i heal, fashion is what allows me to express myself.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To be a part of the fashion industry is something i have always dreamed of. Attending a NYFW event would be truly an amazing opportunity. My dream job is to be in fashion marketing. I am in love with the art that clothing can create, the way everything is placed very intentionally. Fashion is valuable to me, without it i’m afraid i would feel boring and ordinary. Everyone deserves to feel unique. There is only one me and one you, fashion allows us to show and express that.
What would you do with $20,000?
My education and making my parents proud is all very important to me. Fashion Marketing is what i can see myself working in. The money would be a huge help with my tuition. I am a first gen college student, and i am very grateful for the opportunity that my parents have given me and I wish to give back to them. This money could help me help my dad achieve his dream. This money would truly be a blessing after so many tragedies we have had to face.
