Style lets me express every version of myself. Never picking one aesthetic and celebrating creativity and individuality.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ella Laughmiller 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 instinctive and personal. Feels very ME. I mix textures, eras, patterns, and pops of color. I don’t chase micro trends; I wear what feels good and expressive while also comfortable to who I am no matter if it's currently trending. My looks balance playful experimentation with intention, creating a blend of vintage charm with modernity and of course individuality.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be working behind the scenes at a major campaign or runway show; specifically, guiding creative direction, styling models, and watching a vision come to life. I’d love to help shape how people experience fashion, connecting creativity with strategy and emotion. Being part of that energy and artistry would be surreal.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d invest in my future. I'd pay off financial stress and continue my education to pursue creative direction and fashion marketing. I’d also use a portion to give back to causes that promote sustainability and creative access in fashion. It’s not just about money..it’s about the path toward meaningful and lasting impact.
