I’ve been passionate about style since I was a child - fashion to me is more than apparel. It’s storytelling and self-expression
We would like to thank you for supporting Julie McLean 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 because it’s both fearless and expressive. I design many of my own pieces and pair them with unique finds from other designers, creating looks that are bold yet imaginative. Fashion is my canvas—I don’t follow trends, I transform them, turning every outfit into a story of creativity, confidence, and individuality.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be seeing my own designs showcased on the runway. Having once modeled on runways myself, it would be the ultimate full-circle experience to watch my apparel and accessories come to life under the lights—transforming my vision into a shared moment of art and style
What would you do with $20,000?
If I won $20,000, I would use it as seed money to bring my designs to a wider audience through a small collection or showcase, while also giving back. A portion would go toward producing my apparel and accessories, and part would support programs that provide clothing to those in need—because fashion should empower everyone.
