BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE

 

While running around NYFW last month, my agent booked me on a shoot with Backstage Magazine.  First I thought  "do I really want to do this? Run around New York, in the humid heat, hoping designers loan to me durning the busiest time of the year and miss out on fashion shows I came here to see?" Of course my answer was, yes! Because like most stylist, we are workaholics.  The cover story featured the beautiful Abigail Spencer, star of the NBC's new show Timeless.  The styling was inspired by Spencer's own fashion sense; cool, edgy and elegant.  Check out the feature here and see photos below! 

 

 
 

HOLLYWOOD OFFSPRING

A few months ago I had the pleasure of styling actress Bryce Dallas Howard for her BuzzFeed.com feature celebrating her starring role in Disney's "Pete's Dragon."  We shot at the chateau-inspired Pali House Hotel (formally known as the Embassy Hotel Apartments, built in 1927).  Influenced by our landmark location, the fashion mood stayed true to the celebrity by accentuating classic Hollywood glam which Howard exudes so effortlessly.  I pulled a mixture of rich colored fabrics, embellished coats, statement jewelry and feminine silhouettes to celebrate Bryce's beautiful curves. Check out images below and how you too can get Bryce's look.

BASIC INSTINCT

Last week the Teen Choice awards aired and I had the opportunity to dress actress Emeraude Toubia for the Red Carpet.  We had a late night and very last minute fitting but ended up with a few solid options, which is always a good thing. Day of, we decided on a sleek and sexy white blazer dress by designer Rosita Hurtadol.  I  accessorized by layering delicate chokers by designers Jacquie AicheLuv AJ and added on  paved diamond statement rings for that extra "bling bling."  To top off this 21st century Basic Instinct look, we threw the hair up, popped on a red lip and a pair of Christian Louboutins.  

InStyle.com came by the Beverly Hilton to document her day-to-night Teen Choice look.

See below for behind the scene images and how to get this not so basic, "Basic Instinct" ensemble.
