Style lets me tell my story: mixing moods, confidence, and creativity, while staying connected to my Habesha roots.
We would like to thank you for supporting Meriam Zena Molla 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 style stands out because it blends authenticity with creativity. I love mixing everyday comfort with bold details, and I carry inspiration from my Habesha roots, even in subtle ways. I dress to feel confident, not to follow trends, and that personal touch makes my style unique.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be walking into a room and having my outfit tell my story instantly, showing confidence, creativity, and a touch of my culture. Whether it’s a photoshoot, a runway, or a big event, I’d love that moment where my look feels powerful and unforgettable.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest in building my style journey, curating pieces that reflect who I am, exploring sustainable fashion, and creating opportunities to showcase looks that connect culture with everyday life. I’d also love to support local designers and give back by inspiring others to embrace their unique style.
