I was the quiet kid, bullied physically & verbally. Came from nothing. Fashion is having a voice, allowing our beautiful light to shine
What makes your style stand out?
It took a lot of pain and tears to grow into the man I am now. To me my style is a representation of that struggle, a struggle forged in depression and a fight for acceptance of who I was. Growing up in a strict religious family added on to my struggle with identity. Looking back, I want to empower the younger me to feel free, be free and dress as they wish.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be for someone like the younger me, who felt bigger things weren’t meant for them, to look up and realize that ANYTHING is possible. Doesn’t matter what platform we are born into, we can all grown into the beautiful swans we are meant to be, shining bright and illuminating the path for future generations.
What would you do with $20,000?
I have a non profit called Orozco Siblings. My sister and I come from Mexico from very humble beginnings. We’re using our platform to help immigrant families with the resources needed to be successful stories. We are working on getting scholarships set up, along with mentorships and laptops for families who can’t afford one. Proceeds would go to my charity.
