Style is mine first—never for the crowd. I wear the fit. Intentional design, obscure pieces, and my ethos thread through every moment
We would like to thank you for supporting Paul Soper 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 isn’t just about clothes, it’s about energy. I treat every outfit like a vessel to channel the ethos I want to embody that day. I lean into contrast: structured yet free, bold yet understated, classic yet futuristic. What people notice is not just the pieces I wear, but the intention behind them.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be walking in Paris Fashion Week wearing a look that feels like an extension of my own art. Something that merges nostalgia, cultural storytelling, and modern design. A moment where I am not just showcasing a garment, but embodying the narrative behind it in front of an audience that understands fashion as both craft and philosophy.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest in my creative vision: scaling production of my brand’s designs, sourcing sustainable materials, and building a platform that merges design with storytelling. I would also use it for experiences that fuel creativity, like travel, mentorship, and documenting moments that inspire new work. To me, $20,000 is pure momentum.
