You’re able to escape your own reality with personal style ; especially, navigating homelessness in NYC. It gives you hope. (Found housing)
We would like to thank you for supporting Gabriel Sanchez Norton 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?
Being real and feeling the emotional moment when you wear an outfit. Which brings confidence and helps you unravel yourself into the person you are meant to be. I’m currently writing this in Washington Square Park in the village. I’m wearing sneakers, shorts and a nice purple lavender looking fall dress shirt. Different? Yes… Weird combination? Some might say so, but I felt like it. And that’s what makes my style stand out.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Analyzing clothes with the Olson Twins and having a cig with them. And yes I’ve never had a cig in my life- but I would do it for them.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest the majority in a portfolio- not going to lie.. and use the reminding funds to create a community center in NYC for people to have a 3rd space; especially in the winter. Coffee shop/no tech allowed- simply reading, hanging out with friends, getting coffee, games. To give humanity some type of hope again. Eventually expand across the United States so that people who do not live in major cities have these types of spaces.
