I find that clothing, beyond aesthetic embellishments act as armor, allowing me to dive into the difficult parts of life with confidence.
We would like to thank you for supporting Robert Apple 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?
Living in a small town in Arkansas fundamentally means that any alternative expression makes me stand out. Even more so, because I dress in almost exclusively all black, featuring pieces from avant-garde designers (notably, Yohji Yamamoto, or Rick Owens)
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to attend a Yohji Yamamoto runway show, as he is the designer I look up to the most, and ultimately my greatest inspiration.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000 I would reinvest the money I win into my own fashion career, upgrading my sewing space, and investing the rest into my college degree.
