Jade Menendez

My style is dark 80s-2000s. Over the top makeup looks, fangs, mixing horror with fashion. Telling a story through clothes is my passion.

What makes your style stand out?

How extravagant it is. Drag and funeral wear is something I utilize, dramatic silhouettes, blood, fangs, claws. You’ll never know if you saw me or a poltergeist. I love taking inspiration from characters I adore, from their vibes, silhouette, to colors. Mixing cosplay with casual fashion.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

To be able to meet fashion designers such as Alice Auaa or Iris Van Herpen. The way they utilize silhouette to showcase their design is something I look up to. I’d love to do a collection similar to them

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d help care for my younger siblings and my mom’s medical treatment. Whatever I have left over I’d help my parents pay for my college tuition and my siblings tuition fund. I’d put aside at least $5,000 for the TREVOR Project to help queer kids like me.
