I am passionate about Style because it’s art you live in! It’s an evolving reflection of soul, mood, & individuality.
We would like to thank you for supporting Kati 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?
As a jewelry designer, of my brand “Twelve Gemstones,”my style stands out because it’s more than what I wear—it’s how I curate details that tell a story. I blend natural elements, timeless silhouettes, and unexpected touches of artistry that reflect the same vision I bring to my jewelry. My style is about intention, individuality, and wearing pieces that honor one’s soul and self-expression.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
It would be seeing my jewelry come to life on a global stage—whether on the runway or the red carpet—styled in a way that celebrates both artistry and individuality. As a designer, I imagine creating pieces that not only complement couture but also empower the person wearing them, turning a fleeting moment into something timeless. For my work to be remembered as part of someone’s story & as a reflection of how style and jewelry together can inspire confidence, meaning, & self expression.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would reinvest the $20,000 into expanding my jewelry brand by creating more sustainable, handcrafted collections and showcasing them through photoshoots, events, and collaborations that inspire others to embrace their own unique style. It would allow me to grow my creative vision while giving back—supporting artisans, sourcing ethical materials, and continuing to design jewelry that empowers people to feel confident, seen, and celebrated.
