My mother is a tailor and leather crafter and style is our first opportunity to reveal ourselves before we have the chance to speak.
We would like to thank you for supporting Kristof Salvaje Rivera 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 is a confluence of the experiences I go through in life and my need to express myself before I speak. I bring in elements from contrary elements in life- like leather and suiting for example- and create a through line that's rooted in individuality and being "strapped up".
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To someday walk at the end of a fashion show created by myself and to look around and see pieces I've created and designed looking back at me on the bodies of my attendees.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest in my brand and make a number of clothes to be featured in a photoshoot and grow my business opportunities.
