Stylist

Stylist profiles the work and personal style of the fashion industry's top stylists. Called upon by designers, editors, photographers, and celebrities, stylists have a sixth sense for what is now and next in the fashion ether. Stylists use articles of clothing, makeup, hairstyles, and accessories to interpret their vision. Organised by stylist, the book features photos of each stylist's creative output, their influences and inspirations, as well as pictures of them, illustrating their distinctive and idiosyncratic flair. A fascinating look at how fashion is created today, edited by Style.com, and written by Sarah Mower, a leading fashion writer and contributing editor at American Vogue.

Some of the stylists include: Paul Cavaco is presently the creative director of Allure. Has worked alongside Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber, and Richard Avedon, his main inspirations, and has photographed all of the supermodels (Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell).

Grace Coddington has been the creative director for American Vogue for the past fourteen years. A fashion guru for more than thirty years, Coddington was first a model in London whose contemporaries were Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy and segued into the editorial side of fashion working alongside Helmut Newton, Cecil Beaton, David Bailey, and Guy Bourdin.

Andrea Lieberman is best known for her work styling Gwen Stefani, and for cladding Jennifer Lopez in the now-infamous plunging green Versace gown she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards.

Polly Mellen is a veritable fashion force, having worked closely with Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, and many other photographic luminaries. She collaborated with Avedon on some of his most iconic photo sessions, including those with the models Veruschka, Twiggy, and Penelopee Tree.
