Blog: Confessions of a Stylist
The Accidental Stylist
From Rehearsal Rooms to Runways
From Rehearsal Rooms to Runways
I never set out to be a stylist — in fact, I didn’t even know it was a thing. But one day I was the dancer in the audition room, and the next I was behind the scenes, pulling looks for the whole cast. My eye for detail, my love of a good “get-up,” and my background in movement somehow blended into a styling career that took off before I had time to second-guess it.

My career began with 8-counts and scraped knees. I lived in rehearsal studios and backstage hallways, but it was the clothes — the sequins, fringe, layers, and storytelling in every outfit — that kept catching people’s eyes. Before long, I was trading choreography notes for wardrobe fittings and building looks that moved with as much energy as the performers wearing them.

Who Decides What’s “In” and Why It Matters More Than You Think
Every season we’re hit with a fresh wave of “must-haves” ballet flats are back! Red is the new black! Skirts are longer, jeans are baggier, minimalism is over. But who’s deciding this? And why do certain trends suddenly feel everywhere , on runways, on TikTok, in Zara windows , all at once?

Mini-Series: The Creative Director Shuffle — Post 1
It’s the headline every fashion season:
“So-and-so is out at ____.”
“Fashion world stunned as ____ takes over ____.”
From Jonathan Anderson jumping from Loewe to Dior, to Alessandro Michele leaving Gucci for Valentino, to Pierpaolo Piccioli swapping Valentino romance for Balenciaga’s edge — the carousel never stops.
Some call it disloyalty. I call it the revolving door — a defining feature of today’s luxury fashion world.

They don’t make “designer friendships” like this much anymore. Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia are the design duo that went from working behind the scenes at a heritage house to leading two of the most buzzed about labels in fashion. Think partnership, passion, pedigree — and yes, occasionally surprising partnerships (we’ll get to SHEIN).

When a Client Shows Up Camera Ready
Knowing when to lead and when to let style speak for itself.
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my career is this: when a celebrity walks onto set radiating confidence and clearly knows who they are stylistically...take notes, not control.
