LGBT Model and Activist Elton Ilirjani On The Unlikely Inspo For His Trailblazing, Genderless Style

Elton Ilirjani is not just a model, influencer, and fashionista – he is also an activist dedicated to promoting equality and human rights. Born in Albania, Elton immigrated to the United States at the age of 38 and has since made a name for himself in the fashion industry, walking for prestigious designers and appearing in numerous publications.

“I am inspired by South Korean fashion designers, who create cutting-edge fashion, and I wear their designs often,” said Ilirjani. The versatile model cites the South Korean fashion scene as a driving force behind his creative endeavors. The chemistry and thought behind their designs are at times loud, other times subdued and sleek, but always with a story to tell.

The multitalented model’s accomplishments go beyond the world of fashion. As the founder of the Dignity Global Foundation, Elton is dedicated to promoting human and civil rights for women and the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly in the workplace. His organization has created the “Employment Equality Index,” which ranks private companies and public institutions by their adherence to human and civil rights in the Western Balkans.

Fashion is one of Elton’s tools for activism, using it and his platform as a vehicle to promote human rights and challenge societal norms. He believes that fashion can be a powerful tool for moving forward with human rights, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community, women, and non-binary people. Elton’s style is as unconventional as his activism. He has made a name for himself as a genderless model, blurring the lines between traditionally male and female clothing. Aside from the South Korean fashion scene, Elton also draws inspiration for his eclectic design choices from the French novelist Honoré de Balzac. “He was always making fun of society in his writing, and a lot of people didn’t like him because he had a sarcastic approach to roasting the highest levels of society,” said Ilirjani.

Elton Ilirjani is renowned for his impeccable fashion sense and eccentric personality that makes him stand out in a crowd. Elton is a frequent face in the New York City fashion scene and has graced the runway for some of the most avant-garde fashion designers at New York Fashion Week. As a genderless model, he’s modeled for internationally acclaimed fashion brands such as BESFXXK in Seoul, and for staging a show-stealing fashion protest at Art Basel Miami Beach. In addition to being a sought-after model, Elton has been featured in renowned publications like Forbes, V Magazine, and LA Weekly, cementing his status as a true icon.

This March, Elton is set to walk in four runway shows for Seoul Fashion Week 2023, further cementing his status as a trailblazer in the fashion industry. His participation in these shows is not just about showcasing his unique style – it is also an opportunity to take the world by storm through eclectic fashion, empowering people and sparking discussions about women’s rights and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Elton Ilirjani’s story is one of courage, activism, and individuality. He challenges societal norms both through his fashion choices and his advocacy work, making him a role model for both fashionistas and the world.
