I’m passionate in my style because I feel like it’s a mixture of both my culture and my creative expression. (afro, jewelry, bold colors)
We would like to thank you for supporting Jesiah Harris 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?
My style stands out through a fusion of 70s and 80s influence—bold afros, statement jewelry, and sleek, Sade-inspired elegance. I blend vintage silhouettes with modern edge, creating looks that honor cultural roots while expressing individuality.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is traveling to the world’s fashion capitals—New York, Paris, Milan, and beyond—to connect with designers and creatives. I want to experience how fashion looks across cultures, style shoots that tell powerful stories, and collaborate on bold ideas. Most importantly, I want to connect with other young Black creatives to build upon our cultural legacy and leave a lasting mark on fashion.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest in traveling to experience different cultures firsthand—collecting unique pieces like jewelry, clothing, and art while learning the stories behind them. Each journey would inspire my style, allowing me to honor and appreciate global influences through fashion.
