Who is Hardy?
My name is Hardy Santos and I am a recent graduate from the University at Albany where I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Business Marketing & Finance. As a Latino who was born and raised in the Bronx, I found my love for the art of fashion. To that point, I am an aspiring fashion stylist who has a passion for creating, integrating, and translating his own personal identity and emotions through outfits. My outfits are centered around my experience growing up and show my true expression of emotion while being true to who I am. Moreover, my diverse environment in the Bronx and at UAlbany inspired me to get into fashion and begin creating an infinite amount of outfits as a form of art and storytelling. My goal while working with others is to ensure they are comfortable and feeling true to who they are. My outfits are centered around my experience growing up and are a representation of my emotions while being upholding my authentic. I enjoy simultaneously blending my form of art with those I style by implementing colors and different cuts of the garment and what the person feels most comfortable in wearing.
