I did a Q&A with the inspirational lady mentioned in my last post, Gale Parker, at her new boutique Clothespin. Gale is pretty fucking rad; she was muse to YSL, Valentino, and friend of Andy Warhol, [...]

October 20th, 2009 20 Comments

Teen Vogue Editor-in-Chief Amy Astley recently held book signings and a Q&A at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, CA. I did some investigative journalism, pretending not to hear the security guard who asked for my “student I.D.” & sat front row to jot down pages of notes to bring [...]

What to Wear: Stylist on Duty

July 15th, 2009 10 Comments

Whether I’m assisting on a shoot or working lead, the ideal uniform goes something like the above – give or take a tank, tee, or a romper if I’m feeling feisty. We’re not saving lives or anything, but stylists do a lot more manual labor than given credit for. There are hours spent running around, on hands and knees, loading and unloading suitcases/trunks, wardrobe racks, garment bags, whatever, and it is legit hard work.

March 17th, 2009 18 Comments

This is the final product for the video I worked on for my BFF/Roommate/Rapper Rob Roy. Some of you may remember how hectic this shoot was for me, but so far the response has been super positive – so it was worth it.

The shoot itself was hectic as hell. I was running on empty from working on 4 significant [...]

Confession: I’ve been withholding some information. Remember those pitches? Well, they went well!
How things progressed after the pitches:

another meeting to discuss/set things in stone
received my assignments (= which pitches got picked up, word count, and deadline)
contacted the designers/people to be featured

So now I’m working hard to meet my deadlines, also working my 9-5, and Fashionista [...]

Testing

September 17th, 2007 3 Comments

The shoot today was great as always! Carmel and Andre are genius. We are a great team. We even rocked it without a hairstylist. Model, Allie M was a trooper and a doll. I really liked the studio setting (I think I prefer it?) and experimentation with lighting. We shot about 7 or so looks, [...]

"Respect this Hustle" – T.I.

July 19th, 2007 1 Comment

I feel like I have been running on empty for the last two weeks, but to be honest, I think that’s how I like it. I’d rather be working hard than bored. My days have been consisting of running around town as assistant to Melis, a wonderful person and equally wonderful stylist (see; the gorgeous [...]

Styling 101: Prop Kit

June 11th, 2007 No Comments

People often ask me about my “career goal”. The answer is not so simple, and I definitely have more than one, but what I can say is, I know what I’m good at, and what I am just plain no good at. I also know what makes me happy. A magazine is a strong contender; [...]
