By Alexandra Stylist | May 16th, 2016

{You or the Dress?} Where is the focus? I’ve been thinking about the gowns at the MET ball and wondering why the whole event has lost it’s luster for me. The difference between what I do and what red carpet stylists do is very simple. I showcase my clients. It’s all about them and making […]
