FinalistBio
Hello! My name is Jose and I'm currently an eighteen year old senior about to graduate high school and enter into the next chapter of my life. To me, this means pursuing my dreams and becoming a fashion designer, because to me, fashion is much more than just visually appealing clothes. Over the course of four years now, I have grown to learn and understand not what fashion is today, but how it should be like for tomorrow. Through the power of not only storytelling, but emotion through human experience, I am hopeful that the future of fashion exceeds beyond what it is today. As a first generation Guatemalan student, I am eager and determined to breakdown any barriers within the industry.
I plan on attending a fashion school come the fall time in order to accomplish not only my dreams and aspirations, but so much more.
