What Does a Stylist Even Do? with Ronnie Hart

Season 3 · Episode 5

Tuesday, May 24, 2022 • Duration 01:00:12

People love to call themselves stylists these days, but are they? Most folks are not 100% sure of what a stylist even does, let alone what it takes to be one. If you're one of them, fear not! On today's episode of biased, superstar stylist Ronnie Hart unpacks all things styling for you.

Ronnie walks us through his career as a stylist and gives us all the tea on what it's taken to get to where he is. From starting out at CR Fashion Book with Carine Roitfeld to styling music videos for Olivia Rodrigo and Troye Sivan and working with Brazilian popstar Anitta and emerging designer Saint Sintra, he's done it all! The scope of his work includes runway, editorial, and celebrity styling, so he graciously explains the differences between all of these and which one he tends to enjoy the most. Ronnie also discusses the importance of having a signature style and how he balances this with clients, plus, he makes a solid argument as to why it's still important to intern/assist and "cut your teeth" before branching out on your own (which I wholeheartedly agree with).

Ronnie is a stylist and consultant based in NYC and LA.

On Imposter Syndrome and Perfect Skin with Sean Garrette

Season 3 · Episode 4

Monday, April 25, 2022 • Duration 58:39

In this week's episode of Biased, esthetician and beauty icon Sean Garrette joins us to talk about the intersections of fashion and beauty in his own work and why he thinks the beauty and skincare industries exploded in the last few years. We also get personal and talk about our own relationships with fashion and style, touching on our shared frustration with sizing and the lack of body diversity in menswear. Plus, Sean tells us about his latest appointment as Dior Beauty's U.S. Skincare Expert, and we chat about our endless tussle with imposter syndrome and owning the opportunities we have earned. As two terminally Instagram-based creators, we also chatted about all things *content* and the trials and tribulations of having an Instagram aesthetic.

Sean is a New York city-based esthetician and content creator. Prior to being the Dior Beauty U.S. Skincare Expert, he was a brand ambassador for Rihanna's Fenty Skin (gag, I know).

On Working in Fashion with Carmela Osorio Lugo

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, March 2, 2021 • Duration 01:03:28

Have you ever wondered what’s it like to work in fashion?

On today’s episode of Biased, Madrid-based designer Carmela Osorio Lugo tells us about her career as a designer.

After graduating from college, Carmela started her career with the goal and mindset of starting a brand, this with a one person team consisting of none other than herself. She then moved on to working in the corporate side of fashion as a designer, first designing knitwear at Club Monaco and then as a denim designer at Calvin Klein Jeans under Raf Simons and Pieter Mulier.

After her time at CK ended, Carmela found herself at the door step of another opportunity: Attire The Studio, a new brand that influencer and entrepreneur Xenia Adonts was looking to start. She joined Attire as Head of Design and Product Development in 2019 and has been there ever since.

On this episode, Carmela and I dive into what’s it like to have a design career in fashion. We talk about the importance of having a team when building a brand, our experiences with corporate fashion, side gig culture in fashion and creative careers, and the importance of having something you call your own.

Carmela also tells us about her love for vintage clothing, her own personal style, and the key points in creating a sustainable brand and producing sustainable product from her experience.

They also talk about their passion for activism and elevating voices in and out of fashion and their experiences working with Iris Apfel, designer Natalie Ratabesi, and stylist Natasha Royt.

In this episode, Samantha and I also do a deep dive into the impact of social media.

On References, Biases, and the Intersection of Fashion and Culture with Joseph Maglieri

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, January 11, 2021 • Duration 57:23

On today's episode of Biased, José and Joseph Maglieri discuss references at the intersection of fashion and culture, the importance of giving credit, the connection between social sciences and fashion, the need to de-center references, biases, and of course, Diet Prada.

In this episode, Joseph and I dive deep into references and their weight in today’s fashion landscape. We discuss the difference between a good and well-developed reference and simple copy-catting, the connection between fashion and culture, and the endless cycle of some work informing culture and other being informed by it. We also discuss the importance of giving credit to minorities and the cultures who have, for so long, informed fashion with no credit or recognition.

Joseph is a fashion doll with over 10 years of industry experience. He currently leads the Social Impact Initiatives at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) specializing in diversity, equity, and inclusion programming. He also leads NYFW programming across all markets, including designer discovery and the NYFW schedule. Joseph is also a writer and one of my favorite fashion thinkers, he is currently based in NYC.
