I dress like it’s my last day on earth. The clothes you wear are like a second skin and if you express it right, you’ll always be beautiful.
We would like to thank you for supporting Julian Ortega 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?
I wear the 70s and 80s around me everywhere I go and I’m sure I look bizarre to other people on the bus to work. But at some point this clothes was the norm and I feel to not let old fashion die is to honor those who lived before us and to wear it with pride.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To be seen as for who I am. I am a nobody but even I feel like a star when I wear my clothes and to me it means the world. I wear my clothes for me, not anyone else. So the moments already with me even if I have no crowd. I’ve learned to be the crowd that cheers for myself.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest into a clothing brand where it could be available and affordable to all around the world. The money is good, but to be rich in the mind is eternal. Paying it forward to see the next person pick up the stones to build the future walls ahead of us. We all pass the baton at some point and I want to make sure I can do that for someone else one day.
