Commercial Wardrobe Stylist | The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Print Campaign

Commercial Wardrobe Stylist | The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Print Campaign

I worked with Christian Mushenko photographer and director as a commercial wardrobe stylist for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel during a print campaign in Shanghai, China. We were shooting during one afternoon/evening at The Ritz-Carlton’s top floor. I had 2 models to style from ESEE Model Management.

It was a great opportunity to collaborate with Christian because he just flew in from Sydney, Australia for a business meeting. Our project theme was introducing a young Asian couple’s lifestyle who is on a trip discovering Shanghai. As a commercial wardrobe stylist I changed the models wardrobe multiple times through the day to match their clothing to our story.

A commercial wardrobe stylist is a multi-functional role within the production team. Dressing the models in accordance with the photographer direction and effectively managing their day to ensure that shoot targets are achieved. A passion for current culture, trends, and brands is critical to the success of the role. The Ritz-Carlton is a business oriented hotel so we wanted to keep our models styling matching to the brand’s identity.

About The Ritz-Carlton: 100 years of history. Countless rewards. With an unshakeable credo and corporate philosophy of unwavering commitment to service, both in our hotels and in our communities, The Ritz-Carlton has been recognized with numerous awards for being the gold standard of hospitality. The Ritz-Carlton inspires life’s most meaningful journeys.

I was privileged to work on this commercial advertising campaign with Christian Mushenko photographer and The Ritz-Carlton. The final pictures are used internally in the company.

Los Angeles Hairstylist | TILTA Commercial

Los Angeles Hairstylist | TILTA Commercial

As a Los Angeles hairstylist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several well-known clients with brands such as Converse, Pinterest, Forever21, ANTA, MONTBLANC, Alibaba, Etam, Oppo, just to name a few. My experience in photo shooting, creative directory tasks, and commercial shoots led me to a recent gig I had with Overturn Media and our client, TILTA.

The client, TILTA, is a digital company founded in 2008 dedicated to creating high-resolution cameras. TILTA wanted to introduce its new camera KO filter in the digital market. I had got the opportunity to present my creativity as a Los Angeles hairstylist because she is in the list of top hair and makeup artists in Los Angeles.  In this commercial, I worked with two professional dancers. The challenge for me was to style the hair and makeup in a way that was classy and simple, but elegant, while also taking into account the corresponding costumes, the location of the shoot, and the color coordination of TILTA’s new KO camera filter.

For this project, Overturn wanted someone who can enhance the features of the commercial, and they considered me among the list of top hair and makeup artists of Los Angeles. Overturn is a versatile company consisting of “storytellers who help brands build a narrative and create a unique experience for their consumers with a focus on design principles, problem-solving and creative storytelling”.

Over the past several years, I’ve been able to polish my skills as a Los Angeles hairstylist. I’ve managed to gain a vast range of experience, worked with many different celebrities, and allowing my ambition and creative energy to assist in the creative process and provide a satisfying result.

Celebrity Fashion Stylist | Forever21 Shoot

Celebrity Fashion Stylist | Forever21

One of my favorite projects was a campaign I did with Forever21. I worked with them as a celebrity fashion stylist for a shoot in Shanghai. It was a big project as I had to work with and create looks for 20 influencers, as well as recruiting a hair and makeup team.

For the project, Forever21 gave me options on what clothes, shoes, and accessories from their collections to style. Forever21 is one of the most popular brands in the world, targeting their clothes to a trendy youth demographic.

The influencers I worked with are KOL’s, and styling them was both fun and challenging as they each have their own brand and personalities. I created different looks for each personality and a variety of looks for each model including bohemian and free-spirited, sporty but leisurely, preppy, textured casual, floral, among others. The models had that trendy, Forever21 look and wore the outfits effortlessly. Best of all, the models were very easy to work with and the shoot went very smoothly.

Since I worked with Forever21 for this project, I’d like to share a few things I love about working as a celebrity fashion stylist with such a popular brand:

  • Choosing the Style – Having the opportunity to choose different clothes, shoes, and accessories give me the excitement of mixing and matching many different items. I have the creative freedom of choosing the looks I want that would suit what the brand is going for in terms of the campaign’s theme.
  • Working with Influencers – Working with a popular brand means working with influencers. Today, influencers are everywhere from YouTube ads, to billboards, and everything in between. For this particular campaign, the photos were used as advertising materials for the brand posted all across Shanghai.
  • Traveling – When traveling to different locations, you get to go to beautiful places such as Shanghai, where I worked for two weeks on this campaign. Asia has a huge fashion industry and beautiful cities that work wonderfully as backdrops for fashion shoots. Working as a celebrity fashion stylist will sometimes allow you to work on projects in some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
  • Expanding Your Network – One of the most important ways to maintain project stability stems from creating and expanding your network. Creativity and hard work go a long way, but you should also make efforts to help your portfolio stand out from the rest, and working with a popular brand can certainly help expand your network. As they say, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know”.

Being a celebrity fashion stylist, shooting for popular brands, and directing a team of makeup artists and hairstylists can be a great experience. This is the kind of project I really enjoy working on, and I hope to work on similar projects with Forever21, as well as other popular brands in the future.

Celebrity Wardrobe Stylist Los Angeles | DTLA Photoshoot

Celebrity Wardrobe Stylist Los Angeles | DTLA Photoshoot

I would like to share a fun experience I recently had working as a celebrity wardrobe stylist Los Angeles. L.A. has a great community of creatives working with each other. Tarek Reed is the fashion photographer I worked with on this campaign. I have already worked with him on a couple of projects,  his works are simply stunning.

Celebrities and influences are some of my favorite people to work with because they have a certain energy that is contagious. These celebrities and influencers have a certain personal brand that they have achieved which makes each one unique to the style. This group of talent also gives me a lot of options to create the looks that they can easily pull off. Working with them is always an adventure and experimental at times.

Tarek Reed is one of my favorite fashion photographers. It was a pleasure to work with him, especially because there are a lot of people he can pick for a celebrity wardrobe stylist in Los Angeles. We did photo shoots for a few projects for clients including fashion stores, showrooms and model agencies. We got a behind the scenes videographer to shoot a video of this particular collaboration. Working with a professional like Tarek Reed is a great opportunity to cultivate my work. We are currently in the process of submitting the final images for publication. It is exciting to see the final products when you have helped produce beautiful photos. It is even more exciting to see them in publications.

During the shoot with Tarek Reed, I did my job as a celebrity wardrobe stylist. Downtown Los Angeles was our location. Many people ask what a celebrity wardrobe stylist does, so I’ll make a shortlist of the things I actually do during a project:

  • I select items including fashion items and props that a model can use for a shoot whether it is for magazine, billboards or other media.
  • Sometimes I also advise the photographer on what would look good in photos and items that are then chosen for us to promote.
  • I Communicate with celebrities/models, retailers, designers, brands, hairdressers, photographers, etc.
  • I also do makeup and hairstyling for celebrities during a photoshoot.
  • Generally, I advise clients about what fashion direction they should take.

A celebrity wardrobe stylist may do the things listed above, and more, but the main goal is to make the model or the celebrity look good for a shoot whether on video or in photographs. It does sound fun, right? Working with different kinds of creatives and putting together something beautiful for others to look at.

So what does it take to be a celebrity wardrobe stylist? I found out after years of working in this job, that passion for fashion and unique trends is the first and foremost thing that a wardrobe stylist must-have. Next to that, is a keen eye for beauty. What colors match the model’s tone? What items must be selected for the celebrity to wear to make the photographs stand out? These are all the things that I think about every day on the job.

Personal Stylist and Makeup Artist in LA | Salvation Mountain Photoshoot

As a personal stylist and makeup artist in LA I was working with wedding, lifestyle and portrait photographer Radostina Boseva ( Joy ). Joy’s client, Viki  asked her to arrange a shoot for her 18th birthday. Viki then contacted me to take care of her personal wardrobe styling and hair-makeup during our one day photoshoot.

We were shooting on both film and digital, Joy stated: I love to shoot with both film (yeah, the old school film rolls) and digital. The images that you will see here are primarily shoot on film, because I love the colors and the dreamy look.

As a personal stylist and makeup artist in LA, I love to travel for work to beautiful places. For this photo shoot, our location was Salvation Mountain, Salvation Mountain is a hillside visionary environment created by local resident Leonard Knight in the California Desert area of Imperial County, north of Calipatria, northeast of Niland near Slab City, and several miles from the Salton Sea.

From Radostina Boseva about our shoot: One of the most interesting, challenging and fun photoshoots that I did last year, actually happened at the very end on December 30. I flew down to Los Angeles from San Francisco and together with the fantastic fashion stylist and makeup artist Luca Buzas we drove down all the way to Salvation Mountain for this colorful and fun birthday photoshoot. The entire session was photographed on film and I think only film could preserve all those beautiful colors in the California desert.
