Personal style is a form of storytelling. My stories blend family history, travel, and whimsy. I’m classic meets contemporary with panache.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lora-Ellen McKinney 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 mix vintage with modern, colorful with muted tones, one-of-a-kind jewelry, interesting eyeglasses, fabulous shoes, bags and accessories. As my parents and grandparents all passed away, I try to wear something belonging to one of them each day. Most often it’s jewelry. Sometimes it’s beautiful bags, scarves or belt. I want my outfits to be beautiful representations of who I am, telling my story, through layers of family stories.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Creating a show-stopping moment at the Met gala!
What would you do with $20,000?
Shop in Paris and save for a rainy day. Maybe in Paris!
