What's up.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hey, Everything's good, you know, just chilling, and we have
a really fun episode coming up, so I'm really looking
forward to getting right into it so easy. Your cover
for Slam just dropped. I'm so excited for you. You
were at the program, my gym, So how did that feel?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Like? What is it like? It is really exciting. I mean,
it's such an honor to be on the cover of Slam,
but then just being able to do it at the
program with my whole team around me, with Sydney there,
with Sarah, with just with everyone, the whole squad doing
hair and makeup, the glam, the nails, the outfits. I
felt very love so it made the whole experience a
(00:51):
lot of fun. So it's like Slam is already so amazing,
but then to do it with like your crew made
it even better. So I'm so excited to see like
it turned out so well. I couldn't have asked for
anything to have come out better. So I'm just super
excited about it, super happy about how it turned out,
how it looks, and I'm so excited that everyone else
gets to see it now. So I'm super excited for
(01:11):
the guests we have on today. Miss Sydney Page is
here with us.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Thanks for having me, guys, I'm excited to be here.
I'm excited to talk about the shoot for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Me too. Absolutely, So Sydney's here with us today talk
about this slamshoot because she was the stylist who helped
design and create and make all these looks come to life.
So I feel like even I don't fully understand all
of the details and just all of the specific stuff
that went into styling me in this. So I'm excited
to hear just how intricate and what the thought process
(01:42):
was going in because it was incredible.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
It lived great, Thank you, thank you. No, yeah, it
was a lot of like moving parts. But then I
also feel like it happened so fast. Everyone's part had
to happen so fast. I'm excited to like talk about
the process of it as well.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Sydney, you have styled Azy multiple times and you styled
her for this slam shoe. How did you guys like meet?
How did you guys start working together?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
So Fashion Week was actually the first time that we
worked together. I think the Slam shit was just the
second thing that we've done, so you know, it was
like kind of coming off of that Fashion Week, I
was excited to do something that was just like creative.
I feel like when you do fashion Week, you kind
of have to stay in the bubble of the brands
that you're going to the shows, you know, so it's
like you don't have as much control. And so yeah,
(02:28):
I was excited to do something for un and creative,
especially for Slam, because they don't always do that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
You don't always get that opportunity. So I was excited
to explore where we.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Could go, like with fashion for that and how to
like make it make sense with Slam and like telling
a story with sports in there as well.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Amazing easy.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So that was the first time that you guys worked together.
Was Fashion Week? Yeah, what was that like? First time
working with Sid? It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm not even really sure how that came about, but
I know I wanted to work with someone new, just
because you know, I'm experimenting. I don't try to figure
out my stuff, what I like, what I don't like.
And I had heard of Sid from Skyler and like
seeing her looks and seeing she's someone I love looking
at Sky's tunnel fits, so that got me really excited
to work with her. And then fashion Week, even though
(03:14):
she said you still have to stay within the bubbles
and she thinks it's not as fun, I had a
great time and I loved all the looks that she
put me in.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
No, it was so much fun. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
So when I heard that she was working on the
Slam shoot, I was super excited because I had no
idea what she was gonna whip up, but I was
excited to see just where she's gonna go with it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, you looked amazing and for those who are listening,
Skyler is Skyler Diggins. Oh, Sydney Page has styled multiple athletes.
I also saw with Skyley Diggers, she didn't got Milk shoot.
I think that Sydney styled and that was like, I've
never seen anything like it. So from then I had
(03:53):
seen Sydney styles some of these athletes and I knew
that with you working with her for fashion week, me
being able to so met her for the first time,
then seeing your fashion week looks, I was like, yeah,
this girl she knows what she's doing. Okay, she could
put it together, Sidney, What goes into like stylin a
specific athlete like easy for example, how did you know
(04:16):
what to pick or what would look good on her?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
What's your like thought process?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I think going into it, she I felt like
I was excited to see like what she was going
to gravitate towards. So I feel like, for the first
time I work with someone like I like to pull
a range of things, so it's like what I see,
and then it's like a few things that I've already
seen someone in, and then like a little bit in
between any way that they go, I can kind of
(04:41):
like have something to pull back to, you know, and
to talk to.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So that's kind of like where I start.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I always start with like looking at what someone has
already worn and what I think is already working for them,
what I think could work for them, and just kind
of start there and then introduce like slowly some things
just kind of like trying to like read the room.
I feel like that's a lot of my job is
reading people's energy and like what like makes them look
like they're feeling good and feeling confident.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
So I feel like that's always where I try to start.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, So what would you say is Easy's style if
you have to describe it in like three words?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Oh, three words?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I think she I think we're still like evolving, right,
We're still like trying to figure out exactly where it is.
So I think that's what's been so cool. Like what
we've done so far, everything has been so different, So
it's been I feel like we've been able to kind
of try to introduce a few new things. But one
thing that I love about Easy is that she's going
to try anything. She really will try anything and just
(05:42):
like kind of see if it works. So but she's
also not going to wear anything that she doesn't feel
comfortable or feel right in. And I feel like she's
not afraid to tell me that. So I feel like
you have to be open because it's like if someone
doesn't tell you what is not working for them, then
I can just keep bringing you something that's not working,
and then it's like we don't go you know, like it.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Doesn't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
So she's very like open to experimenting and open to
trying new things. And I think it's been really fun
to see it evolved. I'm excited to continue seeing it evolved.
So I say, for three words right now, I would
say like experimented, girly, also pretty pretty girly, but then also.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah uh and fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I think she's just like really is like having fun
with it right now, which is which is an exciting thing.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I like those words. I that Okay, So back.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
To the slam Shoe Acy, when did you find out
you were going to be on the cover.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It was pretty recent, like a couple of weeks before
we did it, and my initial reaction was kind of like,
really they want me on the cover? Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Really?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
What was the vision behind the slam Shoe?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Did you want to get across with all her looks?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
For me?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Like hearing slam at first, I was like okay, like
I'm excited, but also I know that they usually just
do the uniform. So at first I was like, okay, well,
we can do like a lot of cessorizing, like you know,
kind of trying to cessorize it however we can.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
But when I found out that we were able to do.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Like two extra looks, I was like, okay, we could
kind of I could kind of cook a little bit, like,
you know, we can try to make something work with
this so yeah, so I was like two looks like
I really wanted to like streamline it. And so the
team was so amazing. I think we started off with
like a huge just like brainstorm, like me shout out
to Jack Tea. We really just spent that first night rainstorming,
(07:27):
and they were so good with just giving me like
every resource, and I feel like that's kind of how
I work best, is just having every resource there and
then being able to.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Put the pieces together.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So we were like putting you know, I wanted to
be able to still like have fashion in there, but
I did want it to tell a story, for it
to make sense with slam, to be able to speak
back to sports and have that make sense and what
she was wearing. So when they were putting together all
these jerseys, I was like, oh, this is really cool,
and like immediately I did think of putting the jersey
(07:56):
with the suit, but my first idea was like just
having it backwards, you know, like just having it backwards
under the suit. But then, like I said, they gave
me so many resources just like all in one pot,
and I was like, all right, guys, like let me
just like brew on this. Let me see like how
I can make this work. And so one of the
resources they said was Jocelyn actually who designed the jersey.
(08:17):
She like cut up all of these different jerseys and
like put them together to make that hero look that
we had with the jersey underneath the suit. I mean,
it was incredible. It was just even more than I
could have really imagined that she was going to do
with that with that jersey, Like she really ate that
up in such a quick turnaround too. So yeah, like
when she sent back that sketch of with the long train,
(08:39):
I was like, this is major. I also wasn't sure
like what Asy's reaction was going to be to that.
I was I was like, She's going to look at
me like I'm actually insane. But I was like this
is going to be fire though, So I was. I
was so excited. I was really excited that she was
open to it. I feel like that looked like really
really came together, you know, with that, but also like
(09:00):
incorporating other things around it, tapping in like Sarah for
the nails, bringing in these like things that worked really
well during fashion week. The first time that we worked
together with the suit, the suit was kids super like
bringing in that aspect of it, and then again with
the nails, like Sarah killed the nails from fashion Week
with every single look. I was super excited to send
her some references as well and seeing what she came
(09:22):
back with. I was so excited when she would like
show me like what she came back with after sending
her like.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Maybe like three or four pictures, like with the suit,
you know, and like seeing how her brain worked with that.
So yeah, it was. It was really really dope.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
The suit look, the hero look that was. Jack sent
me kind of the sketch because she before she was like,
it's a lot of red. I know you don't like red,
but you kind of just have to trust the process,
like the sketches and how it's gonna look. It's gonna
look a lot better. It's sill in the early phases,
so I'm like, oh gosh, what are they about to
show me? I was actually really I was like, oh so,
(09:57):
and seeing the sketch, hearing like the just be open,
I was a little nervous, And then seeing it in person,
it like, like you said, Joscelyn did her thing. It
was unreal and to see it on and to see
all the details like the lace in it, and the
Stars and this and that was I it was so impressive.
It still impresses me. I think what she did was
(10:18):
phenomenal and what you guys were able to cut, like
that idea behind all of it, you guys were able
to come up with. I loved it. I loved how
it looked. I'm so happy. So I can't thank you
guys enough because that look was so cool and it
was just so different. It was so different. I loved it.
It was definitely my favorite look on you. Top two,
(10:40):
Top two.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Do you guys have a favorite look from that shoot?
I'm assuming that the suit yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That was.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
It was major.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was just so major and like every I feel
like every part of it from the hair with Haley,
like makeup, linel, like it just all blended together so well.
Azy's really good at that with just really trusting her
tea even like what the the decisions. And I feel
like that's really important when it comes to your team
and like being creative, allowing people to you know, be
able to not just like.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Do what they want.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But I think that it's just it's just special to
like know that your team has your best interests in mind.
You know, we love what we do, but we also
just like really love doing that for you specifically, and
we love how that translates, you know what I mean,
Like we love yeah, like like you could really like
to see the switch, and like when she's like on
set sometimes Asy doesn't even look in the mirror, like honestly,
(11:33):
it's like it's absolutely insane.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
That's trust most days, that's most morning, that's I'm.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Like, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Like it's just like but she really trusts her team,
and it's like we we really love again, like we
love what we do, but we really love to do
it for you, and like we love how that translates
on camera and just like in your personality.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Really have been so lucky. I feel like with basketball,
with my friend, just every aspect of my life having
people around me that like work well together, because you guys,
did you know Haley and Linel and you didn't really
know any of them before, Like they didn't really know
each other before. And so how you guys come together
with all people that I trust that can come together
(12:14):
and work together and work together also for my benefit
like that, I'm so blessed to have people like you
guys in my life that can just collaborate well because
not everyone can do that.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, facts, So from the cover, is there one detail
that bands might not notice right away?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you guys were intentional with including I think.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
It was really just like taking like I mentioned it before,
but just like taking those things like that worked well,
like for fashion week, like throwing in like the kids
super as far as like fashion goes, you know, like there,
I feel like there was a lot of like nods
like sports wise as well, but like fashion wise, it
was kind of like for me, it was that like
bringing in that and then as well as like the nails,
(13:01):
Like I feel like the nails were so everyone loved them,
you know, like she's just so she's so creative and
so good at what she does, Sarah's so it was
like I think it was really cool to like kind
of bring that back in a special way like with
sports and like with putting everyone's number, Like I mean
we haven't talked about that look yet, but like, yeah,
I just thought that that was like really major and
(13:23):
really special.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wait what nails did I have on for the Hero look?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
They were like the she did like a plaid, like
a plaid and then it had like these.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Chrome yeah, like the chrome like rings on it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, those were really cool.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
They were just so like they were so cool, so
so cool.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Okay, Yeah, that look was definitely my favorite, just everything
about it, the nails, the seu, the top, all of that.
But I wait, what was it was the the one
with the nails? That one?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
It was Jersey?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, I know, love that the coat.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, we'll have to have to Jo to pop a picture.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I have pictures of that on my phone.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I love that look. It is so fabulous. It is
so girly, it's so bold. I'm like, yes, Azy, you
can go ahead and get you a bunch of coats,
big old coats.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You in Connecticut anyway? Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Gonna say you need them right now for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's getting chilly. We need to talk about the other
look and the nails, because.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's exactly what I was going to get into. I
really want to talk about. Well, okay, so my favorite
nail set is the one with the numbers.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Can you talk more about that?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
So that one?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I mean, I really just wanted that look to be
about the nails, like we were able to.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I guess, like.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Honor, you know, everyone who had won the MP Award,
and so I just thought that was so special and
I feel like for dressing that look, I was just
like I wanted to be super just toned down, Like
I didn't want it to be major at all, Like
I wanted it to be really about the nails, Like
I didn't want to take away from it. So we
just did like a tank for that, like you know,
(15:12):
like a navy tank to kind of match in with
the Yukon colors. But I did want to do it
up with like some jewelry and accessories, like some rings,
you know, to just like make like anything that was
going to make those nails pop, because like they needed
their moment.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
They were so special.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
And like again like we sent Sarah some references and
it was just like had like the color scheme and
then it was just like I wanted the nails to
be like dynamic. That was like the word that kept
coming to my head was like I just was like
make just victim like dynamic, like cause I don't want
to give like too many notes, you know, Like I
like to be able to just like give a few
references and then have like people just able to like
(15:52):
just really do their thing and so I feel like this,
Sarah's just so good with that. So it was like
taking those references and really just like nailing it, like
I was, yeah, no pun intended, but she nailed it.
Yeah it was no, it was they were sick. I
really really loved that, like how that came together.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Those nails were crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
They were crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I knew she was talented, but to see that.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The numbers were like in script like, it was like
that was what I thought was like super cool that
she did. Like they weren't just like you know, just
regular numbers. They were like all in script like. It
was really cool but now easy you could talk to
them as well.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So they had the numbers on them, but then there
was some sort of unique design with it as well,
with like a jewel mine had a crown on it,
and just it was just like the way that she
was able to make all of them pop in a
unique way I thought was so impressive. I just talk
about nails, like, how do you do that on a nail?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm like obsessed with everyone on my team that you
guys all are. I don't know how you guys do it.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
She killed it.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But I also loved with that look. Like like you said,
I was just in like a blue, plain blue tank
and it was all about the details. It is about
the nails, but the accessories, Like Hayley put these little
like pieces in my hair that kind of make it
made it look like a crown in my hair line,
put like blue eyeliner on me, and like, I thought
that was really cool. That was different. It was just
like all the little things in that that I thought
(17:18):
made that really special.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
My favorite part is all the past mops who were
on it. So you have Rebecca Lobo, Super Dt, Tina Charles,
et cetera. And then you have a Z So you're
definitely joining the ranks of some greats.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So I love that detail. Yeah, that's crazy that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, And then I think.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
What was the last look? The jersey?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The jersey?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, pretty self explanatory. Still fired.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Still, it's just it's like just an iconic slam shot
for sure.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You have to have that one in there too.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
How did the experience compared to your cover with the
Page one in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
It was very different the one that I did with
Page my freshman year. It was I guess we did
do another look. It was mainly Jersey, though mainly in
our uniform. We did do another look, but it just
wasn't nearly as fun or exciting like style wise as
this past one. It just wasn't as creative. It didn't
tell like our outfits were just that outfits. They didn't
(18:27):
tell a story like this one. There was no background,
There were no cool nails, fool makeup, cool hair. So
this one I liked, Well, it was just different.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It was different.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean, your first one was always verst special and
be able to do that with page was really special.
But this one was definitely like I just felt like
there was more more story behind absolutely every detail in it,
which I loved. I loved when there was a meaning
behind something. Okay said, I want to know more about you,
(19:02):
So let's talk about you for a second. How did
you get started as a stylist?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Honestly, when I was younger, like, I was not into
fashion at all. So I like, I came up like
in a sports family, so like my dad as a coach,
my brother played, I played like up until like through
high school. So I just like I really did not
like fashion until like my senior year of high school.
(19:25):
And then I started getting more into like blogs and
fashion and just kind of like speaking out in that way,
like with I feel like I'm like an introvert extrovert,
you know, like I was really trying to like find
my voice in that way. So that was senior year
is kind of when that happened for me. And so
I decided to go to school for fashion instead of
(19:47):
continuing sports in college. So yeah, that was kind of
where it started for me. And then I moved to
New York was started. I did an internship in like
corporate fashion where which is where I was just like okay,
like it could be cool, It's could be fun. I'm
in New York, like you know, corporate fashion. But then
it was just like, Okay, this is not corporate life.
It's not for me, Like like fashion is for me,
(20:10):
but corporate fashion is not for me. So like two
years into that, I just like I was able to
be on like some different photoshoots and you know and
things like that. And when I started getting more into
like seeing the ins and outs of how those photo
shoots work, I was like, Okay, I need to figure
out how to do what she's doing, Like I need
to figure out how to like you know, how to
(20:31):
get into into the styling thing. And I just I
spent so long like researching and just kind of like
praying over that decision. And then I left corporate and
just jumped into freelancing. And so I started freelancing and
assisting stylists like a celebrity stylists in New York, and
just like I just like hit the ground running honestly,
(20:52):
Like I was like, I will assist anyone. I will,
like I will just figure it out, like I don't care,
like I don't care if it's paid not pay, Like
I'm just gonna assist everybody and learn everything that I
can until I can like figure this thing out. And
so yeah, I used to say for years, like eight
or nine years and then until I was just able
to like really like lean in on doing this thing
on my own.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So I don't even know what corporate fashion even is.
What is corporate fashion compared to like freelancing.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yeah, I was so like I was going into an
office like nine to five every day, Like it was
kind of like the back end like of how the
pieces like get into certain stores, you know, like when
you see like if you go into like Macy's or something,
and you see one shirt but like in California, but
you don't see the same thing in Miami. Like I
was like watching that happen, Like I was watching those
(21:43):
buyers like and like selling to those buyers of like, Okay,
this tank top should be in Miami, but like this coat,
you know, should be in New York, like in the
New York store.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
So it was kind of like that.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
It was like that side of it, which is like
it's called an account executive. So I was like working
with that and like making sure that like Northstrom had
like their you know, like their shirt that they were
going to shoot for their site, and like making sure
Bloomingdale's had their shoot they were going to our shirt
that they were going to shoot for their site. Like
it was kind of just like the back end of
how all of that works, which is also good to know,
(22:16):
but it was just like not not not for me.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That makes so much sense to me, And now I
feel like, so it's intentional when you can get something
from one store in New York, but you can't get
it and it's the same exact store, yeah in a
different state.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, like like you like you're not you're always going
to see like someone's best stuff, like in the New
York store, like the New York like their New York location,
you know, or like just like their biggest location is
going to have like their they're more like fabulous things,
I guess. But like also, like the coat in New
York is like you're not going to be able to
find that same one in in Florida, like cause they're
(22:55):
just like a cell here, you know. So yeah, it
was just kind of like watching watching that whole like world,
Yeah how that plays.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Out said, if you could have anyone's closet, who would
it be?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Honestly right now to Skuylar, like, it's so many things
that I see, like and I'm just like, oh my gosh,
she like she just has such a dope style like anything.
Even when she's just like showing up to set in
like some cozy sweats, I'm like I want those.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Too, Like I want that.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Like when I'm picking things out for her, I'm like,
if if I had somewhere to go, I want.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
To wear this as well.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Like it's just it's so it's so cool, it's so
like versatile and so like, yeah, I just feel like
she has so many dope pieces that I would I
would wear for sure, for.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Sure, Azy, Who's whose closet would you steal? I'm going
in her closet now too. I'm going to scholars. We're
gonna raid her closet for sure.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I tags and Daya's Inda's closet anyone? Matter of fact,
what's his name?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
La? Yeah? I know, right to.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
A stylist for the listeners who may not know.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And Zindia is like iconic queen actress, singer, dancer.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
If you don't know who Zindaiya is, come on now,
come on.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, those are some major closets, all three of those, Like,
you'd be set, We all would be set, honestly for life.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
If you guys are watching, send some pieces. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
When you're styling an athlete like Asy, what's different about
your approach compared to styling entertainers like Cardi B or
j Lo.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I feel like most people talk about like body type
right because of like the height difference and as well
as like being so muscular and like having to work
around those different body types.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
But I think also like something that.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Goes not talked about as much is that these athletes
are always in uniforms, and they're always like they're always
keeping the main thing, the main thing, right, Like basketball
is always the most important. But so I think that
when they do step out and these different clothes, like
I always want them to just feel comfortable and feel
themselves and like be able to express themselves and you
know a way that feels like authentic and true to them.
(25:15):
So I think it's just like taking a lot more
not a lot more, but just like just taking that
into consideration that it's like not as many times that
they get to like really step out and like do
different things and wear different things. So it's like just
being a little more mindful of like what just making
sure that they just feel good and comfortable and yeah,
(25:36):
just like really authentic and true, true to themselves and
what they're wearing outside of the uniform and outside of
like you know, sweats and like the things that they
always have to wear every day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
As a former athlete yourself, do you feel like having
that background gives you a little bit of an edge
and understanding how to style athletes authentically?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I think that, Like again, it's like sometimes especially for
like like tunnels, you know, and like game days, like
sometimes I like I can understand when an athlete's just
like I don't I don't want to put this on today,
you know, like today I just want to have Like
I just want to have sweats like I want to.
I want to be cozy, like I want to like
you know, today I do.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
I feel good. I want to pop out, like I know.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Sometimes like when like if my clients, like if they
lose a game, I'm like, okay, so like next the
next game, we might not have, but any fit like
you know, like I can understand that, Like I can,
I can relate to like not always just wanting to
like sometimes you do just want to like throw something
cozy on, like throw something just like feeling like safe
and comfortable, you know what I mean. But also just yeah,
(26:42):
I think just understanding like how how these body types
and like how you want to feel in your body,
you know what I mean, and like just being an
athlete and like wanting to accentuate certain things and like
not wanting to accentuate certain things and like how to
do that you know in a way again that just
feels like true to them. So I think it does help,
like understanding that part of it.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
In your eyes.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
What makes for a great style story, especially for women
in sports who are redefining what strength and femininity look like.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I feel like being able to like find your true
style and like true sense of self, like having a
team that really that you really trust and that a
team that is really going to essentiate the best parts
of you, you know, and who know how to bring
that out of you. I think you're your strongest when
you feel true to yourself and you feel like you
(27:33):
don't you feel like yourself. And I feel like when
you have a team around you that understands that and
that's able to really bring that out of you through style, makeup,
blam hair, like you're really able to show your true
self to everyone out there and like really feel your best.
And I think that's when that's like, that's when you're
your strongest, and that's when you're able to be your
(27:54):
most confident, most confident self.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I feel like that, you know, is a great, great
style story.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I can confirm having a great team around me. So so,
do you've helped shape some incredible and iconic looks across industries?
What advice would you give to young stylists or even
athletes who want to find their own signature style.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, I think I think staying true to you, like
and perseverance.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I think like that is always uh key, trusting your
gut as well, trusting your gut about what what you believe,
what you believe works for you, what you believe fits
you know, fits your vibe. I think that that is
I think that's most important, just like staying true to yourself,
not trying to fit in in certain ways, like that
you think you have to in certain lanes that you
(28:38):
think people expect of you, you know, or like what
what people want to see? It's just like what do
you what do you want people to see? What do
you want to show? And like I think just like
trusting trusting your your gut on that and yeah, just
like perseverance, perseverance, sticking with it, sticking with you know,
sticking with your yeah, your gut and your goals, like
(29:00):
sticking with your goals and like really just figuring out
your your wage.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Good advice. Yes, thank you for that advice. So we're going.
