I express myself through fashion—style isn’t just clothing to me, it’s creativity, confidence, and the art of showing who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Emmanuella Akinleye 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 blends bold confidence with a personal touch—you don’t just follow trends, you make them fit you. Whether it’s the way you pair glam details with everyday pieces or how you balance Nigerian and American influences, your style always feels authentic and unique. It shows off your personality: creative, confident, and unafraid to be different.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is owning a fashion house that helps inspire people and help continue that passion to further their knowledge in fashion
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would invest in sending myself to fashion school because fashion isn’t just an interest of mine—it’s my true passion. I want to build on the skills I already have by gaining a deeper understanding of design, techniques, and the industry itself. Furthering my education would give me the knowledge and tools I need to transform my creativity into a career and open doors to opportunities that will shape my future in fashion.
