I’m passionate about style because it transforms with me evolving as I grow, reflecting each stage of who I am becoming.
We would like to thank you for supporting Makyia Banks 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 I wear it with confidence. What sets me apart is my versatility and the way I bring each ensemble to life. I love exploring different versions of myself through fashion, embodying new moods and perspectives with every look. Each outfit isn’t just clothing it’s a reflection of creativity, self-expression, and the freedom to transform while still staying true to who I am.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to play dress-up and explore endless styles just to see the different versions of myself I can embody. Fashion, to me, is more than clothes; it’s about stepping into different energies and stories with every outfit. I want to immerse myself in bold, soft, timeless, and experimental looks, discovering new dynamics of expression and identity one ensemble at a time.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d be intentional: save a portion for security, invest into my business idea to help it grow, gift some to my mom as a thank you, and use a little to treat myself to something meaningful to celebrate the moment. For me, it’s about balance: building for the future, honoring the people I love, and remembering to enjoy the present too.
