My style is art with science in it. A way to express, symbolize, and bring in emotion, it’s like communicating telepathically.
We would like to thank you for supporting Antuan Vargas 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 a collage of inspirations nature, art, usefulness, imagination all stitched together. I see fashion not just as clothes but as costume, a symbol, a way to carry culture and meaning. Most times, I take my swag outside, letting the world become the backdrop that completes the outfit.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is seeing someone inspired directly by me. Not just the outfit, but the energy behind it. If what I wear gives someone the courage to put themselves out there, to step into something they didn’t think they could pull off, that’s everything. We’re artists, not consumers, and fashion should push us to create, inspire, and build each other up. That’s the kind of impact I want my style to leave.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000 I’d build a platform that shows people style has nothing to do with money. I’d design pieces, shoot videos, and prove that creativity beats labels every time. I learned this thrifting and reworking clothes, and I want others to see that confidence is the real luxury.
