Tess Patton

Fashion is walking art; each outfit a moving canvas that lets me express mood, confidence, and identity without saying a word.

What makes your style stand out?

My style blends structure and spontaneity; I love pairing tailored classics with something unexpected. It’s about balance: clean lines with a bit of rebellion. I dress for how I want to feel, not just how I want to look, and that intentional energy tends to turn heads more than any label ever could.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be sitting front row at a show where the designer’s collection tells a story bigger than the clothes; something that sparks emotion and conversation. Or even better, collaborating on a concept shoot that captures how style transforms the way people see themselves.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d invest in creating a sustainable capsule collection; pieces made to last, designed with purpose, and sourced responsibly. I’d also use part of it to spotlight emerging designers who are redefining fashion. And because none of this would be possible without them, I’d give some to my parents to thank them for their constant support.
