She also interned at Jill Stuart and Donna Karan gaining invaluable experience and crafting a dynamic signature<\/p>\n
A style she would soon extend to celebrities and socialites on both coasts. Perhaps it\u2019s as simple as her individual approach, analyzing the personality and the body and then creating a look that reflects a confident mindset and favors the particular form without ever appearing overworked. Indeed she juxtaposes sharp tailored lines with feminine silhouettes and there is always an embellishment, something tactile or textured to add the period. That sexy femininity was immediately apparent and her keen eye for detail and impeccable taste landed her jobs with top talents including: Rihanna Beyonce, Alexis Bedel, Carla Gugino, Karolina Korikova, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, Gwenyth Paltrow, Nicole Ritchie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Schzor, Brittany Spears and Erin Wasson; as well as socialites Wendy Murdoch, Allison Sarofim, Kathy Freston, Kate Capshaw Spielberg, Kathy Kennedy, Lauren Ridinger and Tamara Mellon.<\/p>\n

She covered collections in London, Milan, Paris and New York from Antonio Berardi, Burberry Prorsum, Mark Fast. Givenchy, Isabel Marant, Alexander McQueen, Victor & Rolf, etc\u2026exposing her clients to the cutting edge of fashion, spotting trends and interpreting them. Over the last five years, she has also styled ad campaigns and fashion shows for top designers.<\/p>\n
