I did not understand that there have been different professions inside the style world and that you could possibly be paid to get folks dressed.
I did a ton of internships, working at magazines, studying about editorial styling, and calling in garments and type of how that world labored. Then I labored at this place known as the Albright Vogue Library that was a spot the place a stylist would come and pull garments for initiatives—whether or not or not it’s commercials, music movies, editorial, superstar styling—and that is the place I actually acquired launched to what a stylist was outdoors of stylists and editors for magazines.
I believe Linda Rodin was most likely the primary. She was doing a Victoria’s Secret industrial or marketing campaign, and she or he got here in, and I helped her pull garments from the showroom. I bear in mind she needed this Hervé Léger costume that I truly personally owned. We did not have it at Albright. I bear in mind she came to visit to my house, and her assistant borrowed it from me. I used to be so to only get on set and perceive what that seemed like.
Then I began working for an editorial stylist. Then I labored at Vogue journal extra in occasions.
It wasn’t until I got here out to L.A., [where] actually the one side of styling that existed out right here was superstar. That is type of how I fell into it. It wasn’t the aim from the start.
Vogue, on the time, wasn’t as current in L.A. I do not suppose there have been designers that lived right here. There weren’t actually style homes. Individuals weren’t doing style reveals in L.A. It was only a totally different time 12, 13, years in the past.
Residing right here, having my now-husband be from right here, I believe I used to be like, “Okay, I am right here to remain, so let me work out how I can construct a profession in L.A. based mostly round styling, the place I can take advantage of cash and be essentially the most impressed and type of have entry to designers by being affiliated with people who find themselves doing fascinating initiatives.”

And I really feel like we have seen an evolution towards actually subtle seems to be and leaning into this style ladies’ style. Are you able to share a bit about once you teamed up and creating this imaginative and prescient?
I believe that she’s as massive of part of it as I’m. We ended up working collectively. I have been a pal of her husband’s for a very long time. We’re neighbors. It simply type of organically occurred. Borrowing garments from my closet, being associates, additionally only a actual appreciation for educating one another on movie—her educating me—and me educating her on style. She’s excited about it.
I believe simply our skill to speak and collaborate is what makes it so enjoyable and hopefully so profitable. I believe she has actually good style and actually cares about studying about new designers and channeling totally different time durations.
It is actually similar to a collaboration. When you could have an understanding of the way you talk and you’re feeling actually snug with somebody, I believe there’s usually nice outcomes. It is simply actually enjoyable. Greater than something, the method is basically enjoyable.
As I mentioned, she has superb style, but in addition in initiatives, artwork, and structure. We type of communicate the identical language and our appreciation for lovely issues and studying and evolving.
