Freshman Max Rudy first found his style when he was six years old, dressing up as an astronaut for Halloween. The excitement of wearing that costume had a big impact on him and sparked his style. That early experience of putting on an outfit society might see as “different” helped shape his unique style.

Rudy’s style is largely influenced by his dad, who used to be a pilot. Growing up, Rudy was impressed by the look of his dad’s uniform. This admiration has really inspired Rudy’s fashion sense today.

None of Rudy’s friends dress like him, and he thinks it’s because his style is just so unique.

“My mom always said I was special, so nobody can copy me,” Rudy said. 

This makes him feel confident that his fashion sense is one of a kind, keeping him distinct from his friends and everyone else.

Rudy is into the trendy styles at Forever 21 and Zumiez gives him that edgy, streetwear look he’s going for. Between the two, he finds the perfect mix to keep his fashion game strong.

Rudy never feels out of place because of his style. When asked, he simply said, “No. Never.” 

He’s really confident and comfortable in what he wears, and his strong sense of self-assurance makes him feel totally at ease with his look, no matter where he is.
