I’m very proud to tell you because those fittings last a long time.” On Fanning Valentino Couture dress, Tiffany & Co. ring. On McMillen Valentino dress, Neil Lane jewelry.

C LIE N TS Margot Robbie, Dakota Johnson, Selena Gomez, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Sienna Miller W H Y SH E M AT T E R S THR’s most influential stylist, who also topped this list in 2012 and 2016, boasted 1.3 billion media impressions in 2018 for her styling during Oscar week of Robbie alone, who was named the new ambassador for Chanel the day of the show. Young dresses a roster that fronts some of the most coveted luxury labels — Gucci (Johnson, 28), Louis Vuitton (Williams, 37) and Dior (Portman, 36), which are Nos. 1, 2 and 7 of Google’s most searched brands in 2017. T OP L O O K S Young outfitted Robbie, 27, in everything from Versace butterflies to Miu Miu feathers and an embroidered white Chanel Haute Couture gown for the Oscars that took Karl Lagerfeld 550 hours to create (Robbie topped Instagram's list of Oscar stars with the most buzz). Says Young: “Our ’90s supermodel theme informed the clothes, hair and makeup choices [for Margot]. I just love the bright, minimal feeling from that era.”

C LIE N TS Saoirse Ronan, Gwyneth Paltrow W H Y SH E M AT T E R S Saltzman, a former Vanity Fair fashion director, set trends with her more extreme “editorial” approach for Lady Bird nominee Ronan’s looks. “It’s never just about a pretty dress on a rack,” says the London-based stylist, who mixed it up with a ’60s-inspired Prada minidress for the Spirit Awards and pink and orange Gucci satin in Palm Springs. Says Saltzman, “I saw it on the runway and grabbed it.” T OP L O O K S Ronan, 23, graced the Oscars in Calvin Klein by Appointment with a dramatic bow back (detachable for parties). “Pink seemed iconic,” says Saltzman, who also loved Ronan’s “powerful” sculpted, padded-shoulder Versace at the Globes. “It was a moment that wasn’t about fashion — it was about strength.”

W H Y SH E M AT T E R S Two words: Wonder Woman. Gadot was the year’s biggest breakout star, gaining 13.8 million Instagram followers as her film pulled in $821 million worldwide at the box office. Stewart posted a Boomerang of the heroine, 32, flashing flat sandals under her fiery red Givenchy gown for the premiere. “I’m not complicated. I like to look a little bit sophisticated, clean, simple and elegant, and I really like to be comfortable,” says Gadot, who also was one of the most tweeted-about Oscar stars in Givenchy fringe with a jaw-dropping Tiffany & Co. aquamarine necklace that had more than 1,000 diamonds. Says Stewart, “Gal is very confident, so fittings can go quick.” T OP L O O K S The actress wowed in Altuzarra’s gilded warrior dress at the Justice League premiere. Says Gadot, “We had a gunmetal dress, and two days before the premiere, Elizabeth came with the golden one — it was perfect.”

Says Urbinati, “I used heavy bow ties, ’70s colors and cuts, pinky rings and a lot of unbuttoned shirts with gold chains.” T OP L O O K S Urbinati’s favorites include Hammer, 31, in Armani red velvet at the Oscars. And, in lieu of a white rose pinned to his lapel, she dressed Glover, 34, in an all-white Zegna tux at the Grammys, the ultimate nod to women’s rights. “Initially, no one was clear on whether the men were supposed to participate in Time’s Up,” says Urbinati. “I posted about it on Instagram, stating yes, the men would be standing by the women and wearing black. The Rock commented, and the whole thing went viral.”

Really incredible.” T OP L O O K S Fanning, 19, channeled Grace Kelly at the Berlin Film Festival in caped Valentino Couture. “It was different for me because it was very closed up and it wasn’t pastel,” says Fanning, who has six upcoming films including Reed Morano’s I Think We’re Alone Now.

Every year, THR assesses the hits and misses of Hollywood’s most star-studded red carpets (or black carpets, as they were at the Golden Globes and BAFTAs). The culmination of a fashion season that — for the entertainment industry — begins with the Cannes Film Festival and wraps at the Oscars, this eighth annual list ranks the town’s most influential stylists. Factors considered include taste, star power of a stylist’s client roster, social media impact, and relevance in the awards-season conversation and beyond. Even as #AskHerMore morphed into #WhyWeWearBlack and feminist messaging elevated red carpet moments, let’s not forget that green is still part of the mix whenever a stylist works to craft the right image for the right star and takes him or her to the next level. Margot Robbie, whose glamour guru Kate Young ranks No. 1 this year, was named Chanel’s new face on Oscar Sunday (for an idea of what that could mean: Emma Stone’s Louis Vuitton deal reportedly scored her up to $10 million). “Fashion is a big business, especially in this industry,” says Elizabeth Saltzman (No. 2), who dressed Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan. “It gives people escapism and a little relief — let’s let it be.”

Couture dress. “We loved the bold color — it was an added bonus that it was designed by a woman” (Maria Grazia Chiuri). T OP L O O K S The New York-based stylist wanted a “warriorinspired” wardrobe for Nyong’o’s Black Panther press, including a violet bejeweled Atelier Versace for the premiere of the billiondollar box-office behemoth. Nyong’o, 35, captioned a photo for her 5.4 million Insta followers: “Purple Reign.”

M E N’S MICH AEL FISHER The stylist draws inspiration from his clients and the roles they’re promoting. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’s Sam Rockwell, 49, had an awards season wardrobe built around his “Tony Manero, Saturday Night Fever” vibe. “Sam has some slick moves, and his suiting reflected that,” says Fisher. For Stronger’s Jake Gyllenhaal, 37, it was all about “very classic, strong leading-man looks,” and for Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Adam Driver, 34, it was “all-black everything” as it only could be for the actor playing Kylo Ren. CHRIS HOR AN Director Jordan Peele, 39, looked sharp throughout awards season in a range of tailored looks by Burberry, Paul Smith and Zegna Couture. Most notable was his classic white Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket with a Get Out-themed deer-antler lapel pin when he took home the best original screenplay statuette on Oscar night. Says Horan, “We used artwork based off the film to make gold antlers that were dripping red enamel blood.” JEFF K IM When it comes to nailing men’s style, Michael B. Jordan’s guru has it down. Kim dressed the actor, 31, in a double-breasted Calvin Klein suit and gold-tipped shirt for the Black Panther premiere in L.A. Kim’s inspiration? “We wanted to bring in subtle elements of his character, the golden jaguar suit.”

“Ashley definitely raised my fashion game. I’m a tailored man because of her.” JOHN TAN “I saw a blue velvet tuxedo jacket and loved it,” says Tan, describing the inspiration for his longtime client Ansel Elgort’s Oscars look. “Before I even said a word, Tom Ford suggested the same color — talk about destiny,” adds the New York stylist, who also chose a Tom Ford charcoal turtleneck and pinstripe suit for the 24-year-old actor’s Baby Driver premiere. “Keep in mind it was June, and Los Angeles weather doesn’t call for turtlenecks, but I thought it could be a strong alternative to a classic shirt and tie,” says Tan. “I’d like to think Ansel, Tom Ford and I made that fashionable again.” ASHLEY W ESTON The NYC stylist had a jam-packed schedule with Chadwick Boseman’s worldwide Black Panther blitz. Their hero look? The actor, 40, stood out in an embroidered Dzojchen kimono suit at the film’s South Korea premiere in Seoul. “It’s like, ‘Go big or go home.’ Chadwick’s willing to make a statement,

ASHLEY NORTH Jumanji actor Kevin Hart, 38, called on his stylist of 10 years for the $928.9 million film’s press bonanza. For the Hollywood premiere, “we paired Kevin’s Neil Barrett suit with a boot rather than a dress shoe, and that was something different for him,” says North. Adds Hart:

and I like that,” says Weston. Boseman tells THR, “Working with Ashley means I don’t have to think about it, and that’s the whole point.” JEAN N E YANG “I reference Sean Connery as James Bond for proper fit and tailoring,” says Yang, who keeps Alexander Skarsgard, 41; Jamie Dornan, 35; and Kumail Nanjiani, 40, dashing. Adds the veteran stylist, “I always have handkerchiefs in my kit — they add the exclamation point to a tuxedo.”

M U SIC KOLLIN CARTER “You can have a million fittings and bring a ton of dresses, but if you and that client don’t connect, it always shows,” says Carter, who clearly clicks with his muse, Cardi B, 25. “Our Clive Davis pre-Grammy look got a huge response. People have seen Cardi in tons of colors, hairstyles, silhouettes, but this was different. We decided to go super minimal and classic — she wore an Ashi tuxedo dress with a built-in corset and exaggerated hips that gave her the shape of a goddess. It’s an all-time favorite.” JA MIE MIZR AHI The stylist, who keeps American Idol judge Katy Perry, 33, looking fierce (her beaded Rasario slip for the Oscar party circuit was nextlevel dazzling), also pulls designer duty. Mizrahi took over as Juicy Couture’s creative director in 2017, and she’s aiming to make the iconic L.A. brand cool again. MEL OTTEN BERG Rihanna’s longtime New York City-based stylist has first dibs on the dreamiest Giambattista Valli couture. He dressed the star, 30, in a frothy cottoncandy pink confection for the Valerian carpet in Hollywood, even making a cameo on Instagram, while fluffing @BadGalRiri’s sweeping train, much to the liking of 1.9 million of her Instagram followers.

M AR N I SENOFON TE Senofonte shatters the social sphere whenever Beyonce, 36, steps out. The singer’s post of her Grammys velvet cold-shoulder Nicolas Jebran dress (inspired by the 1960s Black Panther movement) garnered 3.5 million double taps on Instagram. “From her custom-made Judith Leiber panther crystal purse to her Lorraine Schwartz jewels, no detail was spared,” says Senofonte. “And, as large as Beyonce’s earrings were, they weighed next to nothing except for the 80 carats of flawless diamonds.”

RISIN G MOLLY DICKSON The longtime assistant of Leslie Fremar went out on her own in 2017, dressing Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink, 15, in Jackie O-esque Miu Miu for the Globes (“I was inspired after binge-watching The Crown,” Dickson says) and Scarlett Johansson, 33, in vintage Yves Saint Laurent for a New York gala. Dickson’s styling must-haves? “Coffee, double-stick tape, a strong team and Y7 Yoga.” ERICA CLOU D Karla Welch’s former assistant got the biggest response to This Is Us’ Mandy Moore, 33, in sweeping Rosie Assoulin at the Globes. “It was a Time’s Up statement and also a nod to a strong, inspiring female designer,” says Cloud, who started working with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, 46, this year. A N DR EW MU K A M AL “Spectacular jewelry is key, especially in the sea of black at the Globes,” says Mukamal of Big Little Lies’ Zoe Kravitz, 29, in jaw-dropping Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings (105 carats!) with Yves Saint Laurent. The pair also topped best dressed lists with rainbow Dior at the Emmys. Says the stylist, “It was whimsical for us, but the fit and plunging back gave it the sexy-cool factor we favor.” — C.M.

Welch collaborated with Ross on 2017’s Comme des Garcons-themed Met Ball, where the Black-ish actress, 45, in sculptural blue, was one of a few attendees who dared to wear a Rei Kawakubo extreme look.

W H Y SH E M AT T E R S The bicoastal stylist pulled off an awards-season trifecta: quirkychic for Lady Bird director Gerwig, timeless glamour for Get Out actress Williams and fearless chameleon looks for Big Little Lies nominee Dern, 51. T OP L O O K S Oscar nominee Gerwig, 34, brought the “wow” factor in sky blue Rosie Assoulin at the Spirit Awards. Says Ehrlich of Dern’s Calvin Klein at the Oscars, “Laura’s choice of white, the opposite of black, felt symbolic of the cultural shift that has already occurred and will continue to grow.”

If ever there was an awards season that tested the mettle of Hollywood stylists, it was this one. When Time’s Up orchestrated a red carpet “blackout” before the Golden Globes, stylists had just days to find all-black options, as everyone from show producers to nominated talent struggled with what was fashion-appropriate for the politicized mood. One of the upsides of Hollywood’s gender-equality reckoning has been the beginnings of a serious discussion about inclusion. In that spirit, THR hosted its first Stylist Roundtable to discuss how the red carpet itself is becoming more inclusive, among other topics. The guests March 6 were Jason Bolden, 35, who helped director Ava DuVernay become her own style icon; Law Roach, 39, who transformed Mudbound’s Mary J. Blige from music diva to leading lady; Tara Swennen, 38, who guided I, Tonya best supporting actress Allison Janney to become a style star; and Ilaria Urbinati, 38, and Jeanne Yang, 50, who pushed the envelope with Armie Hammer (Call Me by Your Name) and Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick). Their conversation touched on everything from how the carpet became a #MeToo platform to what stylists get paid (it’s not as much as you think).

Let’s talk about Mary J. Blige. ROACH My mind-set was to introduce the world to Mary the actress because we’re so familiar with Mary the singer. But when I met her, I was schooled. She said, “I like what I like.” I had to figure out clever ways to introduce things that were still her — but she didn’t know were her yet. What people don’t understand about this job is that it’s not about the dress. It’s about the psychology of what leads up to the dress. Every time we’d [try on a dress] and pull the shoulders down, her posture would change. So I figured out, this is her comfort zone. After that, everything became off-the-shoulder.

Did you have to talk her into things? Who was the first client you got paid to style? JASON BOLDEN Gabrielle Union. TA R A SW EN N EN Lindsay Lohan a million years

ago — she had a Proactiv commercial.

IL A RIA U R BINATI Brendan Fraser. It all went

wrong, but I learned a lot. J EA N N E YA NG Keanu Reeves. I did the entire cast of The Matrix, actually. It was kind of the beginning of real celebrity styling, which didn’t exist. It was a two-month press tour. L AW ROACH The R&B singer K. Michelle.

What’s the biggest misconception about what you do? SW EN N EN [That we] just shop. U R BINATI Thinking we just show up and put

clothes on people, that we snap our fingers and there are our favorite looks. They don’t understand the item you see go down the runway is the only one in the world. BOLDEN And it’s circulating … U R BINATI … at trunk shows, to editorial shoots at Vogue or Elle. It really has almost nothing to do with what dress you think is best. The dress has to be available at the time you need it, the fashion house has to want to lend it to that particular client, then it has to come, it has to fit, and they have to like it.

And it’s always a sample size? BOLDEN You’re lucky if it’s a 2. U R BINATI Men’s is so much easier. A lot of

the time, I’m pulling from store merchandise, and they have all the sizes.

Clockwise from top left: Bolden, a contributor to E! Live From the Red Carpet; Yang, Katie Holmes’ ex-partner of the now-defunct Holmes & Yang clothing label; Swennen, who also does costume design; Roach, a judge on America’s Next Top Model; and Urbinati, whose first designer suit collaboration debuts in April, were photographed March 6 at Carondelet House in Los Angeles. On Bolden: Hermes shirt and pants, Balenciaga hat. On Yang: Pallas coat, Chloe shirt, Saint Laurent pants, Hoorsenbuhs earrings. On Swennen: Adrianna Papell jumpsuit. On Roach: Saint Laurent jacket, Dolce & Gabbana shirt and pants, Calvin Klein vest, Gucci glasses, John Hardy bracelet. On Urbinati: COS sweater, Derek Lam 10 Crosby skirt, Casadei boots.

Did Time’s Up make this a difficult season, especially the all-black looks on the Golden Globes red carpet? U R BINATI It was more pressure, and there were more things to consider than just what’s the prettiest dress. BOLDEN More like: Could you get another black dress?! SW EN N EN We were all in panic mode. YA NG We were all on text chains. BOLDEN It was the first time everyone banded together. U R BINATI I had a custom tux made for one of my clients for the BAFTA Awards that we couldn’t end up using because we had to do black at the last minute. For the BAFTAs, they made an announcement. But with the Globes, I had publicists calling me, “Are the men wearing black? Do you have to wear a black tux shirt?” SW EN N EN It was a decision that was made very late in the game. Allison Janney’s Mario Dice dress had a little white beading, and she was very fearful. In the end, I said that  I didn’t want that to impede our creativity. So we did it, and it was one thing that set her apart at the Globes. BOLDEN My client Ava DuVernay said she heard no makeup, no jewelry. Then I looked at her and said, “We’re wearing makeup and jewelry.” It boiled down to the battle of the best black dress. ROACH It became fun to see the carpet and how we all interpreted black. YA NG If you think about it, though, there’s no other industry where we can push an agenda like this. The fact is that artists, whether in music or film, have always been the progressive front because we have been the most accepting of being different. It’s wonderful that the red carpet [is] more important than just what you’re wearing.

How do you develop an awards-season style strategy for a client? ROACH I try to figure out who my client is and not change them but just elevate if I can, so it’s a lot of them and a little bit of me.

ROACH I had to talk her into wearing the mint green Elie Saab for the Palm Springs Film Festival awards gala because that was a color and silhouette she had never done. That was my breakthrough point. I finally just said, “Trust me.” She did, and the reviews and compliments she got. … She said, “You’re right. From now on I will listen.”

Tara, how did you work with Allison? SW EN N EN It was about developing a trusting relationship and pushing her a little bit at every single event. For the I, Tonya press run, we did something like 55 outfits by the end. We didn’t want to repeat too many colors or patterns or shapes. She also is over 6 feet tall, and we could play with her because she is a fashion stylist’s muse. If you look, she was getting progressively a little bolder.

Do you think a style strategy can make a difference when it comes to an Oscar campaign? SW EN N EN I’m sure it affects it. It’s attention. It was beautiful to watch her bloom.

How do you feel about criticism? BOLDEN Everyone has their point of view. But

I tell people, “Do you really understand what just happened?” She could have had the most amazing dress five seconds ago … then she was late, she drank last night and can’t fit in it.

People don’t realize all the things that can go wrong. BOLDEN Or that you get last-minute phone

calls that a client is just deciding to attend.

You were saying that your client Taraji P. Henson was a last-minute RSVP to the Oscars! BOLDEN [I had] two days. She is the nicest

human on the planet. She shows up to fittings, puts it on, and if she starts talking to herself in the mirror, it’s done: “Oh, this is a queen moment, honey! The bitches are going to lay at my feet, honey!” Then she starts doing her posing. YA NG It’s interesting there’s never been a styling competition reality show because

By then, she was under contract at Chanel. BOLDEN If you say no to me at the beginning,

no is forever. I am notorious for using the exact same email that says, “Unfortunately, we would like to pass.” So I go back and write, “Unfortunately, WE’D like to pass!” ROACH I do the same thing! BOLDEN I don’t really know if it’s the design houses more than the PR people. Because you have these girls and guys who sit there and just because that is not something they [themselves] watch on television, it’s not important. U R BINATI It is funny how personal it is. You’ll

to dress her, I say no. We go to Paris, you see the designers, they say, “I love her, how come I’ve never dressed her?” YA NG You have to build relationships though, that’s what I tell my clients: Go to the lunch, go the event. I’m the OG of the group. There are designers I have worked with for years who once in a while will say no. It doesn’t matter if I have the biggest A-list star in the world, it’s not a match. It’s a testament to you that you’re able to work around it. SW EN N EN For devil’s advocate, now people are doing street style, so those samples could all be going to the airport on a Jenner and it’s game over. There are more people in Hollywood and the music business than ever … everything is spread super thin.

Do you think there is enough inclusion in terms of whom fashion brands are willing to loan to? ROACH I built my career and Zendaya’s career on not using any big brands at all. BOLDEN Boom. ROACH I will tell you why, because in the beginning they wouldn’t touch her. BOLDEN Pass, pass, pass. ROACH Zendaya made it to the cover of Vogue, she has never worn Valentino, Gucci or Chanel. She only wore Dolce & Gabbana when she got a Dolce campaign. We built that girl’s career and my career using smaller brands and emerging designers to prove a point. Now that they want

least in the beginning, so it’s about buying some and borrowing some, getting smart pieces and developing their style.

have someone random on some show, and you think they’d never loan to you, and the designer turns out to be a huge fan. I have worked in every aspect of the business, so I understand as a brand you have a certain image. If you are Gucci and you have five runway-worthy dresses that season, maybe you want to save them for the big moment.

NO. 10

But a great Gucci dress, why not buy it?

U R BINATI Then anybody can wear it, and they do “Who wore it best?” ROACH In the beginning, I only put Zendaya in things other people have worn because literally she is 6 feet tall. Who is going to wear it better? She is.

Do you think men get more of a pass on the red carpet? U R BINATI Men dressed really boring for years, then my client Armie [Hammer] wore a red velvet tux to the Oscars in March. Men are getting praise because they are finally wearing color, doing something different, whereas when women take risks, they get eviscerated. That has to stop. I think it’s crazy we’re doing this whole Time’s Up thing and talking about the way we treat women versus men, but somehow no one is talking about how it’s OK we tear women to shreds in the media. There were a couple of people who didn’t wear black to the Globes, and people were shaming them on social media. Maybe that person felt like wearing red made more of a statement, maybe she didn’t get the memo. SW EN N EN I always say you haven’t made it until you’ve made it on the worst dressed list.

red carpet. I feel like for the first time, we see people of all sizes, colors and shapes, and you can identify and say, “Oh, that person, I love her city style or his ability to peacock.” That to me is what makes it.

Jason, Ava is a director, someone behind the scenes, who has now become a style icon. ROACH Can I say, I’m obsessed with what you do with her. I love when someone creates a point of view for a client. BOLDEN Ava is a force, the voice of now. Ava is not the normal size we are maybe used to seeing. She wears The Row to Prada, and it’s all custom. The people who buy The Row do not look like those girls [designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen]. That consumer looks like Ava. When you think about the dollars and cents, what’s keeping these businesses afloat, it’s someone who looks the opposite of that PR person [or designer], and [they] are saying no to that person. So, it goes deep.

What is it like working with a designer on a custom piece? BOLDEN I’m straight up sketching. When I

was working on Yara [Shahidi]’s 2017 Emmys dress, I was on the phone with [Prada] saying it had to be her last princess moment. U R BINATI Even with Armie’s red velvet Armani tux, down to every button, the lining, the lapels. When we decided on the red velvet, I said if we put a black lapel on it, which you normally do on a tux, it will look like Hugh Hefner or a weird vampire. All those little details are the difference between what makes it work and what makes it ridiculous.

90 percent of what we deal with are external factors — the manager, agent, boyfriend or designer. You are juggling 20 balls, and then someone will throw in another one. SW EN N EN People forget a lot of designers don’t want to dress your clients. I remember with Kristen Stewart, I called Lanvin for seven years. They said, “Listen, our demo to sell these clothes is closer to the 30s, so she’s not what we want quite yet.” Every two months, I called and said, “Are we ready yet?” Finally, it was like the clouds opened up, and we got it, and she was like, “Nah.”

Gordon in J. Mendel) donned a Zegna tux for the Oscars.

Some people think stylists get paid under the table by designers to dress their clients. YA NG When a makeup artist or a hairstylist

comes to a shoot, they are paid their full-day rate. When we go in for the awards shows, we typically get paid [by studios] about $1,000 per look. Then we deduct our expenses: shipping costs, paying assistants and tailoring, and it costs up to $1,500 to $2,000 per look.

So during awards season, you lose money? BOLDEN Every day. SW EN N EN We have no union to protect us, and

the studios have banded together for a set rate that’s not enough. You can get into an uncomfortable position with your client, who will say, “I’m promoting this movie, why should I pay for my own alterations?” U R BINATI If it’s worn on the red carpet, designers will usually cover tailoring. SW EN N EN The aesthetic is key, so we’re not going to compromise your look just to get a little side cash. That being said, we will openly welcome it if it’s available. ROACH It’s not like you’re striking a deal. The brands will pay your day rate. I went from making $10,000 a day working with girls in music who didn’t have the right look to making $750 a day for someone Hollywood thought had the look. We take these jobs, make less money, put ourselves in the hole, so we can make it to that magazine. U R BINATI It’s a long game, the equivalent of an actor doing an indie movie. SW EN N EN But it’s worth the money to ensure we do our job properly, and the lead actress or actor is looking … BOLDEN … like a movie star.

“My dad always told me to do what I love and find a way to get paid for it. It’s the best advice.”

The first thing I do in the morning is meditate, ideally for 20 minutes. Sometimes I’ll go running instead, but only in the warmer months, when it gets light outside earlier. By the time I’m done, my 7- and 9-year-old sons are waking up. I get them dressed, drink coffee, pack lunches, and cook eggs and kale for breakfast.

8 a.m. SHORT WALK

We leave for school drop-off, which is near our home in Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill neighborhood. My Pilates studio, Fort Pilates, is also close by, so I frequently stop there for a session after saying good-bye to the boys.

10 a.m. CHECK IN

I arrive at my SoHo office, chat with my assistant about what’s going on, and answer emails. Honestly, I don’t have a work routine since my projects range from dressing celebrities to consulting on runway shows. A big part of my job is requesting pieces from designers, which I then edit into outfits for my clients to try. It’s important that I figure out how they want to be perceived and translate those ideas into a cohesive series of looks.
