Zoe Hennessey - Fashion Consultant

What is a celebrity stylist?
– As a celebrity stylist, I am hired by a publicist, a production company, or sometimes directly by a celebrity, to select wardrobe and style looks for appearances on the red carpet, in an advertisement, or as part of a magazine editorial.

Which term(s) best describes your style? Classic, casual, masculine, sexy, eclectic, trendy.
– Eclectic!

My work is more appropriately defined by the titles “Fashion Stylist” and “Personal Shopper”. Fashion Consulting is a different field, and not an area I want to focus. Thus, I have only answered the questions that apply to me:

What is the difference between a personal stylist and a fashion stylist?

A personal stylist, or personal shopper, works with everyday people (meaning, not famous!) and helps build a wardrobe suitable to their body shape, personality and lifestyle. A fashion stylist has a broad range of jobs, ranging from styling fashion editorials for magazines, advertisements, celebrities, music videos, as well as consulting to designers.

Zoe Hennessy, a los Angeles fashion and wardrobe stylist professional shares a few tips with us on how to treat style as in the fashion industry.

It’s very similar, yet different. For red carpet dresses and publicity photos that will have a worldwide audience, there’s obviously more pressure to get it perfect the first time. But I treat all my clients with the same care and attention to details. They’re all celebrities to me.

The jobs are similar. I put the same amount of care and attention into any client I work with, using my expertise to guide them on fashion choices.
