Having never had a continuous creative outlet before I started collecting and modifying my wardrobe, fashion is a vital means of expression
We would like to thank you for supporting Vanessa Valadez 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?
Im all about colors and shapes rather than trends. Even though fashion is an art form, wearability is key. I can work in most of what I wear, if I have to.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Collaborating! I really wanna work with Betsey Johnson and anyone who does avant-garde stuff.
What would you do with $20,000?
I wish I could say I'd put together a work space in the Las Vegas arts district with it, but I'd probably pay off the loans I took out to put my kid through college. But come on, id buy at least a better sewing machine.
