As a designer from Nebraska, my style has always been derived from being different! I love to wear second hand pieces in unconventional ways
We would like to thank you for supporting Haile Christofferson 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’m from a small town, but I’ve always known I was meant to do something big with fashion. My style is a mix of vintage, handmade pieces, and upcycled designs that are rooted in sustainability. I love giving old clothes new life and turning overlooked materials into something bold and one-of-a-kind. I believe fashion should be expressive, personal, and mindful. Even from a small town, I’ve found ways to make my vision real. And I’m just getting started!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to show a collection of mine at New York Fashion Week for The Shows. I recently showed in NYC for Fashion Week at Runway7, but I want to make it even bigger! It is truly about the art for me, and getting to show my art on such a prestigious stage would be an absolute dream come true.
What would you do with $20,000?
If I got $20,000, I would definitely pay off some of my student loan debt! I got a degree in Textiles & Apparel Design at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which is how I learned to sew and how I gained my own personal style. Along with that, I would also use the money to expand my clothing brand Haile’s House!
