style allows me to be the best version of myself everyday without any limitations every day I tell a new story by being my own canvas
We would like to thank you for supporting Max Beristain 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 entity revolves around the character or aesthetic I embrace that day. I am very well rounded and do my best to attain many skills, but it all starts with my style and the power and confidence it gives me everyday to not live in anyone else's world but my own. It makes me authentic too, because there is a fine line between going over the top to impress others, and complimenting your person in a way that your sense of self and individuality is being acknowledged by every living thing around you
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I experience my dream fashion moment everyday, being myself through cloth everywhere I go and everywhere I am, it's beautiful. But I would say a few that immediately come to mind would be to have a conversation with Raf Simons as I resonate with him in a way words can't describe, walk in a big name fashion show if used correctly for my being, and be able to outreach my designs and clothing I have made to larger audiences without having to oversell myself on social medias like tik tok.
What would you do with $20,000?
Continue investing and producing in my designs that I work on everyday, help my mother with her HOA payments as she is getting older and harder for her to work, do EVERYTHING in my power like creating some sort of system or network to connect young designers with Los Angeles sustainable manufacturers instead of outsourcing to china to give these amazing, talented, hardworking individuals in the LA fashion district more work.
