Whether it’s the Oscars, the Met Gala, the GRAMMYS or the Green Carpet Awards, social media is often full of who wore what.
The red carpet has a huge influence on fashion and pop culture, and about how it works and who, apart from the designer, creates these looks - because make no mistake, celebrities do not dress themselves for these things...
But how much do you really know about the job of a FASHION STYLIST? And why aren’t more of them concerned with sustainable fashion. You’re going to meet one who most certainly is: New York-based fashion editor Laura Jones is fast carving a niche for herself as sustainable fashion’s go-to creative.
An ex-MTV stylist who used to work at W magazine, Laura has dressed the likes of Alicia keys, Rebecca Hall and Naomie Harris for red carpet events, and styled names like Katie Holmes and Uma Thurman for shoots. This year, she launched new sustainable fashion magazine The Frontlash .
This fascinating interview is about much more than frocking up for the red rug. We dig deep on fashion's #MeToo crisis and look at how we might apply ideas of health and wellbeing to the fashion industry. We discuss the challenges and opportunities of moving the needle on sustainability when it comes to high fashion and the business of dressing for events. We talk feminism, and the politics and power games of fashion, and of course, we decode what a stylist actually does.
