I am artist and have worked as an electrician for the last 25 years. I am following my dreams at 45 to be a fashion designer!
We would like to thank you for supporting Heather McIlwee 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?
Everyday I wear eco friendly bamboo clothes that I sew and design myself. I complete each outfit with thrifted finds that are simple and classic. I think dressing sustainably stands out!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Experiencing fashion week in Milan would be incredibly inspiring. It would be a dream come true to see first hand the thousands of hours of hard work it takes to build a brand and showcase on the world’s stage
What would you do with $20,000?
I would like to grow my bamboo fashion business. With this growth, I would like to create and donate more items to those affected by cancer while they undergo treatments
