Fashion has been my outlet of self expression since my preteens. I take thrift finds, vintage inspiration, and mix it with a dark twist.
We would like to thank you for supporting Karissa Fradd 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 has always been very personal and unique for me. I’m from Appalachia and where I’m from, there is a “normal” way to dress and I’ve never fit into that norm. I faced bullying for my style in school, but as I grew older I had other people who didn’t want to fit the “norm” say I inspired them to dress how they wanted. So my style is just being my unique self.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Ultimately I would love to get into designing fashion or modeling it. Just being able to get into that would be a dream to me.
What would you do with $20,000?
What ever I could to help my family and help me kick start a career in fashion.
