Being a 7 year army veteran Fashion is my self expression. I turn experiences into outfits that shows resilience, confidence and edge
We would like to thank you for supporting Michael Kwentua 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 it’s freedom in fabric form. After 7 years in the army, where everything is uniformed and structured, I am finally able to express who I am bold and confident and unapologetically myself, every outfit I wear reflects a story of discipline, strength and newfound liberation through self expression.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Walking a major runway not just as a model but as a statement. To show veterans and active duty LGBTQ members that we can still serve our country and shine in spaces of creativity and expression. The courage to be authentically seen.
What would you do with $20,000?
Building my fitness and fashion brand, I will launch a campaign that inspire others who’ve hidden their true selves to finally express their confidence through style , no matter where they came from or what they been through.
