Matthew Alves

Growing up in a family that couldn't afford new clothes, I found confidence in vintage style, turning thrifted pieces into self-expression.

What makes your style stand out?

My style is unique because it's built on creativity, not currency. I didn’t grow up with access to high-end fashion or brand-new clothes, so I learned early on how to make secondhand pieces look first-rate. I don’t just wear clothes—I tell stories with them.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is walking into a room—maybe it's a fashion week show, a red carpet event, or even a gallery opening—and every head turns. But not because I’m wearing the latest designer drop or some borrowed luxury look. It’s because I’m wearing something one-of-a-kind, something I found in a forgotten thrift store or vintage shop, and styled in a way only I could.

What would you do with $20,000?

Give to my in laws who supported me getting me in school and getting my life back on track from being a drug addicted to 6 years of being sober and starting my vintage store
