Introducing KOTO - Monica Imag

MONICA - @monica_love33

"I always like to be out. I don't like being inside all the time. I like talking to people all the time."

"The way I put my words together, it's different from regular. Let me see. If somebody's pants are low, I'll say, 'Oh, his pants are lowercase.' I don't know, people usually catch me doing it!"



Introducing KOTO - SYLVIE

SYLVIE - @syl.v.ie

"I express my individuality through my style. I feel like I can wear whatever I want, depending on who I am that day. I don't like to box myself into anything and I feel that's where change really happens, when you allow yourself to be something different every day. It doesn't have to be who you were yesterday."

"What type of outfit makes me feel the most confident? Again, depends on the day. But honestly, a good pair of jeans that fits just right with a flattering top and a good heeled boot is all I need. Even just a white tank top with a good pair of jeans. I feel really hot."

SARA - @ch1ngona_af

"My style is comfy, cute and me."

"I express my individuality through my jewelry that I wear and my nails. I like to represent my culture with the things that I wear."



Introducing KOTO - HYUNGI

HYUNGI - @park_hyun_gi

"I express my individuality by my style, whether that's clothing, like what I'm wearing, or how I do my hair or makeup. Also, my tattoos. I feel like they are a huge identifier of who I am and how people perceive me. It's how I can differentiate myself from other people."

"Obviously my tattoo work is black and red. I'm known for that. Also, all of my style and clothing. It's typically a very neutral palette with lots of details. I love hardware! I don't know. I love a mix of playful and serious. I feel like I'm always balancing between the two."



Introducing KOTO - GENESIS

GENESIS - @genvegaa

"The type of outfit that makes me feel most confident is one that I don't have to change every 30 seconds or think about, like, 'Ooh, maybe I should have worn these pants with these.' It's something that I can just slap on, be like, 'This is me. No one else can have this, except for me.'"

"I want to be remembered for the silly little things I do behind the scenes."



Introducing KOTO - BEAR

FRANK - @franknesbitt

"I feel most confident when I don't have to think about my outfit and just go."

"I'd like to be remembered for how I make people feel."



Introducing KOTO - BEAR

BEAR - @clearbear

"The outfit that makes me feel the most confident? I'd say vintage. Western '70s. I feel at the peak of my confidence when I'm wearing a '70s, vintage style."

"My thing is Brazilian jujitsu. I release my frustration on the mat when I'm grappling."



Introducing KOTO - KANE

KANE - @kaneacaples

"My style is playful. My style is weird, diverse and playful. A lot of my clothes are from random thrift places or from junk costume places. Just a bunch of random stuff."

"Right now, I take a lot of my inspiration for my skateboarding from either figure skating or roller skating. It's more free flowing. It's more fun. Also, the outfits in roller skating are something that really inspire me because it's not as common in skateboarding to have people get very dressed up to go film something."



Introducing KOTO - SEAN

SEAN - @seanlyles

"I feel confident in an outfit that is comfortable and unique."

"I express my individuality through research and experimentation."



Introducing KOTO - SEAN

ANTHONY - @satananthony

"I express my individuality through creating and being unapologetically myself. I do creative directing, styling, and photography."

"Any outfit that's a mix between femininity and masculinity makes me feel confident."
