It’s all about expression if it didn’t evoke something out of you I did it wrong.
We would like to thank you for supporting Sai Lafontant 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 raw yet refined, fearless yet intentional. a mix of chaos and structure rooted in heritage, authenticity, and community. It feels alive, immersive, and unforgettable.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to create shows unlike anything else in the industry; where fashion becomes theatre, storytelling, and pure emotion. I’m not trying to compete with Milan or New York; I’m building a movement. I don’t need hundreds of designers, I want to spotlight a few and put them on the map, be the blueprint for them. With SAIFI, I want to be a staple of authenticity; whether people love it or hate it, they’ll feel it deeply.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20K, I’d invest in both SAIFI and Ether Studios. For SAIFI, it would bring my dream fashion show to life something theatrical, emotional, and unlike anything else. For Ether Studios, our 3-in-1 space with a photo studio, music studio, and podcast hub, it would mean upgrading equipment and expanding resources so we can connect and elevate an even wider stream of artists. It’s not just an investment in me, it’s in building a movement and a community.
