Being born, after Bowie and other greats, I studied English, Literature, and Rhetoric, and I am a Violent Femme! In its most peaceful sense.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ivan Rios 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?
People say it’s a blend of 70s punk rock and freedom fighter aesthetic. I get confused for Che Guevara all the time, but I try to reinforce my style with the music I perform live.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
For people I inspire to wear what makes them feel comfortable in their own skin. When everyone can wear men’s or women’s fashion without prejudice or ridicule.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would buy a home for myself and my two daughters in Southern California, so I can experience the American dream. Or, I would use it to work on my PHD in critical theory and quantum rhetoric.
