To quote Webster’s New Millenium Dictionary, a fashionista is “a person working in or deeply involved with the high-fashion industry, such as a designer, model, photographer, buyer, writer, wearer; a devotee to clothing fashion.” Now, I may not work in high-fashion, but in my years in Retail, Media, and Sales, I have worked with high-end designers and companies like Alessandro Dell’Acqua, Heatherette, Paul Mitchell, and L’ Occitane. It doesn’t take a designer to know what works and what doesn’t.
I am a proponent of personal style and believe it is inside all of us to be able to express who we are through our own glamour.
Some of my own personal style icons, then and now:
Audrey Hepburn, Photographer: Allan Grant for LIFE magazine
Penelope Tree; Photographer: Pierre Boulat for LIFE Magazine
Edie Sedgwick, from OBIT Magazine (reprinted); Photographer unknown
Gemma Ward, from AskMen.com; Photographer Unknown
Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist; from The Miami Hurricane, Photographer Unknown
Kate Moss, from Jupiter Creative; Photographer unknown
