Style is an expression of autonomy and freedom, and is connected to all other forms of creation
We would like to thank you for supporting Lucas Nikkanen 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 see all styles and trends as interconnected and immerse myself in the larger mathematical / geometric cycles of when things go in and out and back in style. I do not see SS23 pieces as any less new and exciting than the latest to-be-dropped designer collections. I love thrifting and finding pieces that jump out at me, that tell a story.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Shaking Elton's hand dressed in entirely my own style, while showing him what I can do musically.
What would you do with $20,000?
Change my entire life. I'd be able to rent a studio apartment, convert it into a fashion / photo / film production / music studio, and have enough left over to visit my friends in LA, London, Paris, and Lebanon to create art, music, film, and model with them.
