Style is my canvas—through fashion I blend art, culture, and identity, turning everyday looks into living expressions of who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Jalil "Jah Jah" Surge 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 through casual bold creativity, unique textures, and timeless elegance blended with personal expression.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is showcasing a collection on an international runway where art, culture, and storytelling merge—models moving through a space transformed into a living gallery. Each piece reflects identity, history, and innovation, sparking conversation and emotion. The moment would be more than just fashion—it would be a celebration of creativity, representation, and legacy, leaving the audience inspired and connected long after the final walk.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d invest in building my brand—funding production of original designs, professional marketing, and a strong digital presence. I’d also allocate a portion to showcase work at fashion/art shows, expand into sellable product lines, and create community-based workshops that merge art, fashion, and healing. The goal would be to build a sustainable business that uplifts others while positioning my work on a global stage.
