Fashion has been my armor since i was a young boy. I was shy so my versatile approach to style helped me command attention in any room.
We would like to thank you for supporting Malik Barnhill 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 approach to fashion is something of a musical composition. Blending contrasting ideas and meshing them into a perfect symphony where every piece is cohesive or wonderfully dissonant. It’s something that truly could never be imitated.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Collaborating with the living legend that is Law Roach on a magazine spread or even for a personal appearance. His ability to push people to be the best version of themselves is something i try to mirror in my work as a stylist.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use the 20,000 to invest in my agency that I’ve created on my HBCU campus WSSU Phantom Kiss. We aim to connect creatives from rural areas to careers in the fashion industry. From modeling and photography to design and styling i represent an untapped market of extremely talented people.
