I am 70 andI still love to dress stylish. I studied fashion design many years ago made most of my own designs. Fashion makes me feel young
We would like to thank you for supporting Waja Reilly 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?
I am able to think out of the box and express myself with a freedom that comes with aging. It’s a wonderful feeling to cut the restraints that have held you back for many years in dressing to fit in. There is a freedom in letting go wearing something bold.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be modelling at my age. An icon at 71 is possible. Life doesn’t stop because you’re older. I would like to step into that roll.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’m not really sure at this moment. Perhaps put it in trust for my 2 grandchildren. For me it’s not about the money. It about trying something new and different without fear. The fact I’m even here now is really a win for me.
