For Lewis, though, the street style scene outside of the shows served as more than a casual photo opp: it was an opportunity to deliver a message about fashion and body positivity. After losing his right leg in an accident in 2005, Lewis found strength in heightening his fashion sense. “I’ve always had a passion for fashion. . . It was especially important for me to continue pursuing these passions to the fullest extent possible after the accident,” he says. “In this vein, becoming an amputee didn’t change my outlook on fashion; it simply made me work harder to put together looks that are undeniably cool, despite the prosthetic.”
These days, Lewis describes his personal style as “rooted in tailored menswear, with an exacting attention to detail,” adding that his favorite, most-worn labels are Thom Browne, Louis Vuitton, and Dries Van Noten (all of which he wore throughout Fashion Week). He continues, “I especially like ultra-luxe layered looks, which combine textures and bold prints, paired with something completely unexpected. I live for monochromatic ensembles and bold printed suiting fabrics.”
A prime example of his use of style to express confidence is the Thom Browne suit he wore in Paris (the street style photographers went wild for it). “I have always loved Thom Browne’s short suits and once I tried one on, I felt like I was presenting my most authentic self,” he says. “It was the first time in 14 years that I wore shorts in public and it was an amazing experience. The prosthetic leg tells a powerful story of how blessed I am to be alive and able to walk around with a smile on my face.” Going forward, Lewis hopes to incorporate even more shorts into his wardrobe now, adding, “I’m already thinking of wearing a kilt to the next Thom Browne show.”
