My style encompasses my wide range of identities as a queer person, but also as a first generation Latinx person crossing fashion bounds.
We would like to thank you for supporting Nelson Ponce-Chosco 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?
I take inspiration from comic books and Latin film in my style, displaying my eclectic ability to world-build, showcased through my art as a studio artist specializing in sculpture and cinematic arts.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is closing out a fashion show in my greatest attire as I wave to the audience with pride, soaking in all the work done to make it possible. This dream may very well be as I am creative director for Campus Couture CSULB, known for organizing the largest student-run fashion show in the West Coast every spring.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would jumpstart my career in arts and fashion as post-graduation nears. I have plans to create my own fashion brand that is currently in the works. With this fashion brand, I hope to empower individuals to express themselves and fight for what’s right.
