Bold, brash, ballsy—unapologetic. The standard. The stand out. The full ticket.
We would like to thank you for supporting Robert Hurse 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?
Whaddup doe!? My style is The Standard Detroit. We set trends, not follow them. Simply put — this is it: the Standard, the Standout, the Statement. Every look is top tier. The full ticket. The baddest in the league. Authentically me.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is reopening The Standard Detroit brick-and-mortar. Before COVID, we had our store; the shutdown forced us to pivot into The Beast — our mobile boutique. Now it’s about coming back stronger: capsule collections that spotlight Detroit designers, cultivate raw talent, and put our city’s style on a permanent stage.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d invest in expanding The Standard Detroit, turning our mobile momentum into a permanent home. The funding would rebuild what COVID interrupted, grow capsule collections, and share our platform so more Detroit creatives can stand out.
