Style is my canvas where glam rock spirit meets art, and every daring choice becomes a story of who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Felipe Maldonado 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 mix glam rock, velvet, fur, and jewelry with my love for painting and film. I challenge society’s rules, turning the streets into runways where anyone can express themselves freely. My style isn’t just what I wear, it’s a statement, a rebellion, and a way to show the world that boldness, creativity, and identity should never be judged.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream is to direct a photoshoot where I can style and photograph models, using fashion to reveal what society refuses to see, identity, hidden stories, and truths that challenge norms. I want every frame to be bold, cinematic, and rebellious, turning fashion into art that empowers, provokes, and celebrates individuality.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use it to create fashion and photography projects that reveal what society hides, LGBTQ+ identity, AIDS, stereotypes, and untold stories. I want to turn styling, art, and images into activism, giving voices to the invisible, challenging norms, and showing that bold expression and creativity can empower, provoke, and inspire change.
