Addressing the criticism of her fashion choices, Hilda Baci said:
Hilda Baci: “I don’t need to dress a certain way to be good at my job, to be smart, or to offer something valuable. This perception discourages many women from expressing themselves through fashion while excelling in the corporate world, business, or the food industry.
I do this to show that you don’t have to conform to societal expectations. You can be successful and stylish at the same time. At 27, I love fashion and looking good. I’m grateful for my beauty and I’m unapologetic about it because these qualities define who I am.
Being stylish doesn’t diminish my capabilities or achievements. It doesn’t negate the fact that I stood for 100 hours or worked with an incredible team on something amazing. It doesn’t lessen my qualifications or values.
I’m committed to my work and my life, and I won’t apologize for it. Critics will always talk, but over time, they’ll adapt.”
