of all times they continue to inspire me from afar I took

Q-2
Your resume is extensive with magazine work. tell me
about the differences in working for publications like
Flaunt vs large ones like Vanity Fair.
Working for independent boutique publishers has proven
to be more rewarding for me because I am able to fully
execute my role as a fashion Director I must be able to
execute fully the vision of the Photographer as well as
my own! Which is most times challenging to say the least!
However the exposure level is greater for the work you do
with publications like Vanity Fair ect. I did the first cover
of Drew Barrymore with photographer Warwick Saint and
we did many many other covers and lead stories pushing
celebrity editorial to a new limit I saw for my own eyes
the impact of our work change the game literally it signifies the shift from only supermodels and the occasional
celebrity cover to every mag becoming celebrity covers
almost always! Working with great makeup artist like
Kevyn Aucoin the flaunt covers and their exceptional art
direction led the way to the celebrity crazed world we live
in today! Slowly I watched all of the other stylist in NYC
who thought the work I did dressing Alist celebrities was a
joke start to follow suit as I was already cemented and had
learned about all women’s bodies! Which is why my work
on red carpet has been extremely successful! Knowledge
of fit very important.
Is working in print advertising much different than magazine editorial?
Yes it’s a very different yet exciting process as it requires
same level of creativity to be able to bang out your work
and precisely hit the storyboard mark as well as achieve
Artistic and creative satisfaction is the mark of a professional !
tell me about your collection.
I’m enjoying the total creative visionary role one takes
on as designer, my designs are a mix of all the ideas and
ways that I have interpreted fashion for over two decades
a combination of empowerment in a garment it’s freedom
from restricted clothing and flow of life my garments flow
and work on many shapes and sizes! I am launching soon,
a less expensive line.
i can imagine there are many.. but who are your muses in
the industry. who inspires you?
I’ve worked with some of the greatest beauties of all times
they continue to inspire me from afar I took all the different women I’ve worked with into consideration when I
was devising my own design philosophy. Juliann Moore,
Iman, Cate Blanchet Nathalie Portman so many to name
but having worked intimately with so many men and
women you take a bit of inspiration from all to encompass
all!

Wow is all I can say I woke up to having gained excessive
amount of weight and had health issues I have maintained
a perfect blood pressure since shedding a unprecedented
125 lbs in ten months time using the diet plan for duke
university’s diet center no pills no surgeries diet and exercise, best thing I’ve done for myself and others to show
you can do it and after that incredible transformation I
knew design was in my future I’ve completed wardrobe for
several film projects and many others in near future.
whats in the future for Kithe Brewster?
