Most of my fashion inspiration from historical moments; such as the Renaissance, French Rev. or Medieval Times.
We would like to thank you for supporting Michael O'Hara 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 is a mix between minimalism found in designers like The Row and Jil Sander... blended with pieces that are historically chic. Pieces like a bicorn hat, commonly worn by Napoleon Bonaparte or something like a high-waisted trouser for men... which can be commonly seen in paintings from the Victorian-era or renaissance.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is most definitely the French Revolution. Massive gowns with petticoats, interesting high-waisted pants, a linen button down that feels chic while also feeling uncontrived. Leather shoes or loafers with a high knee sock. Something modern that feels historically interesting and accurate.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest in my style, invest in myself and probably donate to pancreatic cancer research. I lost my grandmother to pancreatic cancer... and feel with science, we are getting close to helping find a major defense for the victims of it.
