My style is all about the intersection of my culture and my queerness. My closet is curated with thrifted, designer and 1/1 custom pieces.
We would like to thank you for supporting Joaquin Gutierrez 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 confidence! Style is all about how you wear a piece and the story you’re trying to tell with your style. My story is about confidence, self love and community.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to appear in a high end street wear runway/ shoot as a plus size man.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would love to host to workshops for plus size folks on the intersection of fashion, self-love and HIV awareness. HIV work is the root of my community work and I have been able to merge both health and fashion in the past and would love to continue to do so!
