Hi there!
I am a fashion stylist, market editor, writer, and creative consultant with over a decade of experience working for national publications, consumer brands, and celebrity clients.
From People Magazine to InStyle, and ELLE.com, in-house with brands like Samsung and Tinder, on-air as a style expert, through music videos, red carpets, and independent collaborations, my work spans a variety of visual media.
CURRENTLY
My projects range from styling magazine covers to working wardrobe departments (see Taylor Swift’s Lavender Haze, Bejeweled and Anti Hero), to writing shopping guides, styling commercials, and putting together celebrity press tour looks. With my fashion editor voice and stylist eye, I take a 360 degree storytelling approach to every project I take on. My market expertise spans fashion, lifestyle, and culture while my clients are actors, musicians, creators, hollywood execs , consumer brands, magazines, and more. The trifecta of styling, commerce, and editorial packaging is an asset to any brand in 2024.
As an entrepreneur with a passion for sharing culture and style stories through many mediums, I have a pulse of what’s trending in the ever-changing world of media. I attend fashion weeks, meet with brands before product launches, and get the inside scoop on celebrity culture. From Gen Z to Boomers, I understand what resonates and what sells. Progressive social strides, advocating for fair labor wages, environmental sustainability, size inclusion, and racial and LGBTQ+ equality are priorities in my work along with highlighting emerging artists and small businesses.
BACKGROUND
A little more about me! I was one of those small town girls with big city fashion dreams that quite literally penned my name on the masthead of Teen Vogue and ELLE growing up, while religiously watching The Hills thinking ‘how could Lauren choose a guy over Paris?!’ After clocking several unpaid internships through high school and college, I eventually worked my way up to be a fashion editor of a magazine (People StyleWatch Magazine). Hello dream job!
As a part of a quick rise and fall of the print fashion industry in New York from 2011 to 2017, I was trained the ole’ fashioned magazine way. My work ethic, eye for visual storytelling, and a traditional magazine edit reigns strong in my work today (minus The Devil Wears Prada assistant abuse I may or may not have experienced) — a rarity since print editors and publications are scarce. IYKYK!
After getting laid off from my “dream job” when the magazine folded, I went on to become a freelance stylist, editor and writer in the fashion and lifestyle space, contributing to a variety of publications including PopSugar, WhoWhatWear and Fashionista while working with personal and commercial clients work along the way. I also served as the market editor and stylist at large at Health Magazine, contributing editor at Shape Magazine and Magnolia Journal. Other rotating bylines can be found on ELLE, InStyle, WWD, Footwear News, Men’s Health, Women’s Health, The Manual, TZR, Bustle, People and the new digital issues of People StyleWatch (it’s back, baby!).
I left NYC to expand my business into celebrity styling in Los Angeles over five years ago. I am passionate about my work, I stay curious, and I am known for my positive attitude on production sets and beyond. As Tim Gunn taught me on TV growing up I will, “make it work” in any situation. When I’m not working you can find me at the beach, at a Barry’s class, or dancing at concert. I love to express myself through fashion, music, and interior design. Strong coffee, Grillo’s pickles, sunsets, and cool sneakers bring me loads of joy.
Thanks for reading! I love connecting and collaborating with other creatives, so feel free to slide in the DM’s or email me to say hi. :)
