Style lets me express who I am—bold, creative, and confident. It’s my way of turning everyday moments into art and self-expression.
We would like to thank you for supporting Emi Nakashima 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 bold yet effortlessly chic, blending confidence with comfort. I love mixing statement pieces with casual elements to create looks that feel stylish but still real and wearable — fashion that turns heads without trying too hard.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be stepping in front of the camera and fully owning my confidence — having a true “model moment.” I picture myself dressed in an outfit that perfectly reflects who I am: bold, expressive, and unapologetically me. The lights are bright, the music is playing softly in the background, and I feel powerful, beautiful, and completely comfortable in my own skin. In that moment, I’m not comparing myself to anyone else or worrying about how I look, I’m just embracing myself!
What would you do with $20,000?
If I had $20,000, I would realistically use it to pay off my debts and support my family. They’ve always been there for me and have supported my dreams throughout my life, so being able to give back to them would mean a lot. After helping them and getting my finances in order, I’d make sure to save or invest a portion of the money to build a more stable future.
