I can’t convince my self to stop trying for an opportunity in this industry, I keep trying and that tells me I’m passionate.
We would like to thank you for supporting Manuel Mendez 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 Dominican heritage, Spanish culture and where and how I was raise makes my style stand out, there’s so much style when you’re raised poor.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I have so many fashion dream moments besides dreaming and envisioning my styling work on covers of major magazine. A true fashion moment probably would be a Met Gala, Oscars, kids collaboration with Chanel just to name a few.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest to help me with a children’s clothing line that I started during the pandemic. I haven’t completed it or pickup where I left off because life has financially challenged me.
