Looking sharp her strong suit
GLEN plaid
suit, $795 from the collection.
BY ADAM TSCHORN >>> From Captain America, Loki and Rocket in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe to Batman, Deadpool and the young Han Solo, there’s one secret weapon Hollywood’s highest-profile superheroes have in common. That would be stylist Ilaria Urbinati, who has long served as a sartorial sidekick to the men behind the masks, dressing them for press tours, premieres and award shows in the kind of sharp threads that make them standouts in a sea of red-carpet sameness. A superhero of the styling set in her own right — this year, she notched No. 6 on the Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of most powerful stylists — Urbinati recently launched a capsule menswear collaboration with the Little Rock, Ark.based label Strong Suit that brings her penchant for color and subtle ’70s references to an affordable assortment of suits and dress shirts. Strong Suit by Ilaria Urbinati (suits retail from $745 to $945, dress shirts for $125) is available exclusively at shop.nordstom.com and two bricks-and-mortar Nordstrom’s — its new men’s store in New York and the store at the Grove in Los Angeles. We recently chatted with the L.A.-based stylist to the stars, who talked about her start in the business, how the collaborative collection addresses some of her menswear pet peeves and why the upcoming Cannes Film Festival red carpet might mean saying so long to the ’70s. Here are excerpts from that conversation.
THAT ’70s look: Stylist Ilaria Urbinati loves it.
doing [press for] “The Nanny Diaries,” and his publicist called me. I remember exactly where I was — furniture shopping — at the time. I’d dressed a couple of people before that, including Brendan Fraser, but it was a big deal for me at that point, even though he wasn’t the Chris Evans he is now. In addition to Chris Evans, who else are you currently working with? I started working with Bradley Cooper about the same time as I started working with Chris, and our careers really took off at the same time. I’m still working with him now. I’m also work-
Do you have a favorite Donald Glover red-carpet moment? The big moment for Donald was the [2017] Golden Globes Emmys in that Gucci brown velvet [tuxedo]. That probably got him the most attention of any outfit I’ve ever [put] on anybody. And, of course, there was the awesome white [Ermenegildo Zegna Couture] tuxedo he wore to the [2018] Grammys. With Donald, I do all these ’70s looks, with silky shirts unbuttoned down to there and chains and things like you’d [usually] never do. You mentioned the 1970s, and the Strong Suit collaboration has a definite ’70s vibe. Why? I’m just into that phase right now. As a stylist, I work in phases, and I’ll get into certain things heavily. But the No. 1 thing for me is to make sure my clients all look like individual people. A really good example is that for the [“Solo: A Star Wars Story”] press [tour], I’m dressing Alden Ehrenreich, who plays Han Solo,

How long have you been a stylist? Probably about 15 years now. The client I still have that I’ve worked the longest with is Chris Evans. He was

and I’m [also] dressing Donald, who plays Lando [Calrissian]. And their styles personally could not be more different. And when you look at them, I’d hope you would never know that the same person styled them. So that’s No. 1 for me always. But why the ’70s specifically? I think it’s a little bit of what’s happening in fashion. I’ve been into it progressively more and more for a good three years now. … I was watching a lot of early Scorsese movies … and I’m really into what Ben Cobb is doing. He’s one of my biggest inspirations right now. He’s a men’s editor who traipses all over Milan Fashion Week looking super ’70s sleek and incredible. … But just wait. Donald’s look at Cannes — the tux look — is going to be the pinnacle of this phase. It’s [such a] pinnacle that I might get over [the ’70s inspiration] after that. I might be able to move on.
How did that ’70s vibe make its way into the Strong Suit collaboration? The printed [dress] shirts, for sure, and I did a much higher-waisted trouser. It’s a good 3 inches higher than most pants on a suit. [And] the lapels are just a little bit wider. I didn’t get too crazy, because I still wanted it to be wearable for the average guy, but there are subtle details like the ticket pocket and the all-gold hardware, the buckles and zippers. How did your decade-plus of styling experience find its way into the Strong Suit by Ilaria Urbinati collection? I’m dressing guys who are now on their 20th film press tour. They’re doing 30 different dates, and the thing they want is a comfortable suit. That’s the thing they live for. So I figured, “Why not make some?” … All the linen blazers are unstructured and unlined, and they’re easy to pack and easy to

wear. And they look great, because it’s very relaxedlooking, and the guys are comfortable and happy. And they can breathe in [the jackets]. Even though you’ve worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, do you have any bucket-list clients? Absolutely, I’m a big Tom Brady fan, and I’d love to work with Conor McGregor. But my dream client of all time would have to be Bill Murray. In this job, you want to work around people you want to be around. He’s the bee’s knees, so I would rather pick him over whoever the next big superhero is. That’s not to dis superheroes. All my clients are superheroes. I mean, I dressed both Captain America [Evans] and Batman [Affleck]. Oh, and Rocket [Cooper] and Loki [Hiddleston] too. So I’m not complaining. I love the superheroes. adam.tschorn @latimes.com

Building Block
AN IPHONE sling comes from a Building Block and MOCA team up.
Building Block, the Los Angeles design studio created in 2011 by sisters Kimberly and Nancy Wu and known for its spare, minimalist handbags and clutches, launched a collaborative collection with L.A.’s Museum of Contemporary Art late last month. The two-piece offering is appropriately avant-garde, comprising an iPhone sling and luggage tag, both in vegetable-tanned leather and with a streamlined, architectural appeal. The leather was chosen for its ability to develop a patina over time, making each piece unique. The luggage tag is affixed with a smooth wooden ball, a signature element of Building Block pieces (the motif also appears in a subtle print on the phone sling). The limited-edition pieces are priced at $75 for the luggage tag and $125 for the iPhone sling, and will be on offer at the museum’s store and website until June 25. Building Block X MOCA, 250 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, building--block.com and mocastore.org.
New Cariuma sneaks pop up in L.A. Just when you might have thought the world has enough cool sneaker brands, Brazilian brand Cariuma dropped a unisex collection on Tuesday, and it chose Los Angeles as the place to show off its footwear for the first time. The offerings, priced from $79 to $139, are designed for easy, everyday wear. For spring, the label has low kicks in red, rose and yellow. Cariuma’s pop-up space at the Grove in Los Angeles — the temporary store pops down May 13 — is intended to convey a rainforest vibe, filled with overgrown plants.

Hair sheds for many reasons but typically because we treat, wash and brush it regularly. Wear and tear puts demands on the hair and over time it can start to look dull and thin. But when we nourish the hair follicles, we can help promote strong, healthy and beautiful hair.
Beauty from within Hair nutrients can be found in natural sources like millet, silica, and even apples. They are used by hair follicles as building blocks or as promoters of hair growth. Apples, for example, contain Procyanidin B2, a known hair growthpromoting factor.

I HAD GREAT RESULTS “I am 43 and have lost a lot of hair due to hormonal changes and 2 pregnancies. I have been on Hair Volume for 5 months and have noticed great results in growth and also found much less hair shedding in the shower and when I blow dry it. My hair feels stronger and thicker now. You do have to commit to using this product for a while to see full results, but it’s worth it. I strongly recommend Hair Volume!” Web review
One tablet a day
K a t h e ri n e's e x a ct s h a d e!
Hair VolumeTM is a best-selling dietary supplement from Sweden. With just one tablet a day it contains more hair nutrients than most other hair supplements in the US. In addition, Hair Volume is the only product in the USA that uses the special apple extract from Swedish apples.
DID YOU KNOW? The first thing you notice when taking Hair Volume, is that your nails start getting stronger. Nails react faster than hair, to a new supply of nutrients. But after a month or so you will notice your hair starts benefiting.
