Style is art, identity, and empowerment. I’m passionate because it transforms energy, confidence, and self-expression
We would like to thank you for supporting Monique Sumpter 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’s a reflection of bold creativity and authenticity. I don’t just follow trends—I reinterpret them, blending timeless pieces with unique details that create a story in every look. I ALWAYS focus on individuality, making sure each outfit has personality, whether it’s through texture, color, or accessories. My style is fearless yet intentional, inspiring confidence not only in myself but also in others who see fashion as a way to express who they truly are.”
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be creating something so powerful it feels timeless—something that blends elegance, edge, and storytelling. I imagine stepping onto a global stage, whether a runway, red carpet, or magazine cover, in a custom design that truly embodies my personal style and inspires others to embrace theirs. It’s never just about wearing fashion, but about making people feel something unforgettable through the artistry of style!
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would invest in building my brand—expanding my styling services, launching collections of one-of-a-kind pieces, and creating opportunities to showcase emerging talent. I’d also use it to give back by mentoring others who want to find their voice through style!
