Personal Stylist Los Angeles | FUPIN Group – MRH Sparotica Groupe Collaboration

As a personal stylist Los Angeles, I had the luck to work with Fupin Group – MRH Sarotica Groupe, MRH SpaRotica Groupé curates an exceptional array of evocative premium fashion brands with longterm survivability that transcends global fashion trends.

We worked with 2 international models from ESEE Model Management. Founded in 2002, ESEE model management is the leading professional model agency in China. ESEE represents a diverse collection of Chinese and foreign models across Asia.

Being a personal stylist, I styled these 2 models and selected for them countless wardrobe looks. I advised them which brands will fit them and communicated with Fupin Group on new fashion trends, clothing styles, colors, and make-up.

Depending on how I’m getting hired by the client, a personal stylist job is not to be confused with a wardrobe stylist job. When I select the clothing for published editorial features, print or television advertising campaigns, music videos, concert performances, and public appearances made by celebrities and models. As a personal stylist, I typically work one-on-one with the client, while when I’m doing wardrobe styling I’m often part of a larger creative team collaborating with a brand, photographer, art director and a video production team to put together a particular look or theme for the specific project.

FUPINGROUP (“FUPIN”) is a consumer-centric aspirational luxury group. Their existence is profoundly inspired by iconoclastic/evocative premium fashion brands and ardent customers that lust for them. They curate and invest in impactful brands through acquisition and licensing, and capitalize on their longterm value by financing, managing and nurturing their growth.

I had a wonderful time working with Fupin Group and ESEE Model Management as a personal stylist Los Angeles and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.

Alibaba handles more business than any other e-commerce company.

Wardrobe Stylist in Miami | Studio Fashion Photography

As a wardrobe stylist in Miami, I collaborated with Matt Pluz, a Miami based fashion photographer to work on a fashion shoot with him and model, Taylor Piper. We shot these images for 1 day at Matt’s Miami studio.

Fashion photography is one of those niches that escapes strict definition and for the most part, it is free from creative restriction. You can shoot whatever you want, in a studio or outside, however you want, as long as you are telling a story. It’s true that clothes, accessories, and makeup form a huge part of the story, but at the end of the day you’re providing a glimpse into an imagined world through your unique perspective.

As a wardrobe stylist in Miami, I conceptualize outfits for the shoot from brands who fit the brief, and I go out and borrow, buy these items for the shoot, dress the models in an organized and creative fashion, and ensure that all items are accounted for at the end of the day and returned. As a stylist, I collaborate with the fashion photographer and help advise on everything from how the story is shot to how the story can be presented once it’s finished.

I was the key HMUA as well on this shoot, hair and makeup make all the difference when it comes to bringing your fashion story to life, as they can place the fashion model into the world you’ve envisaged with much more realism and relative ease than post-production can ever achieve.

It was such a pleasure to work with Matt Pluz and Taylor Piper on this project and I wish to work with them again on another production as a wardrobe stylist in Miami.

Mobile Makeup Artist Los Angeles | Old Hollywood Beauty

As a mobile makeup artist Los Angeles, Emmanuel Guillermo photographer hired me and model Jenna Curtis for an old Hollywood beauty inspired photoshoot in Los Angeles, California.

Jenna Curtis is an Austrian actress, singer, and model. She grew up in the capital music city of Vienna, where she was trained in Acting and Musical Theatre. In 2013 Jenna moved to Los Angeles, California which has been her home base ever since. Before Jenna became a singing actress, she was traveling Europe as a model, while working on original Indie-Pop music.

I created an old Hollywood glamour hair and makeup look for Jenna Curtis.Old Hollywood makeup consisting of a killer cat eye, lightly blushed cheeks and, of course, a bright red lip. It’s the perfect go-to look for anyone who wants to look polished but perhaps isn’t too keen on trying a more daring beauty trend of the moment, I absolutely love creating this look for my clients.

Old Hollywood glamour hair and makeup is dramatic but not over-done. This style is to make you look your best and it involves full foundation coverage, accentuated contours, blush, and so on. To create an old Hollywood style evening look, you need to style your wardrobe as well, the best is to choose a floor-length gown of satin or velvet.

It was a pleasure to work with Emmanuel Guillermo and Jenna Curtis on this project and hope to work with them again on another production as a mobile makeup artist.
