Moet Fontanez

Project: Bringing awareness to mental health, particularly the late-diagnosis of Autistic femmes, through narrative media projects.

Moet Fontanez is a Puerto Rican, Plus Size, and Autistic woman, who is inspired to use her adversity for good through multimedia content creation. Having been impacted by domestic violence growing up, art became a way to cope. She is a self-taught nail artist, paints body positive artwork, and crafts flower paper bouquets by hand with her emerging brand MoetCristalStudios. She is driven to represent plus size women through modeling; being published in Ryan McGinley’s book: Mirror Mirror in 2018, participating in TheRealCatwalk campaign twice, and walking in NYFW runway shows for SmartGlamour, a truly inclusive fashion brand, of which she is a proud ambassador. Moet is determined to give voice to the collected wisdom within herself, as well as the insights of those around her.
