Director and worked closely with La Coupes Art Directors for all photo shoots . I was a part of many of them . To this day I am still friends with Helen who is still in the biz ( Helens Biz Bizz ) on Facebook . Helen and I found on Facebook after many years , and she is my mentor today and helping with inspirations and seeing the future in fashion / hair .
After Helen left LaCoupe she went onto Vidal on 5th Ave . I missed her and I figured even though I made it onto the floor cutting hair at La Coupe , I am young enough to learn more and decided to try out for Sassoon . Helen directed me , and said do a model ’ s clothes , and make up to create a story . So I took it to the next level and did five models ! That was never done before in the history of Sassoon to get in ! I wanted to be a stylist , and you cannot get in , even though I had formal training . I got the job as assistant to Graham Webb the Art Director ! Then the drama began , nobody gets hired and goes to the head of the class likes that !
MBW : It must have been marvelous witnessing models striking poses in Vogue Magazine after you worked your Lois Broderick magic on them ... Can you bring us all into that spotlight and share the thrill of it all .
MBW : I have always been wild over fashion ... Our Manhattan has its own signature look and feel .. We reek New York ... You and Natasha Adonzio go way back to the roots ... to the streets that gave birth to the punk movement that forever put a curve on style .. How did you and Natasha bump heads together with another downtown fashion pioneer , Patricia Fields ???
Lois : I ran into Natasha after many years right after I hosted Tommy Gunn ’ s Reunion 25 years later . We had five bands and a fashion show by Stella Zoitis , who just came off the TV Show Top Designer ( I think that ’ s the name Marlowe , where they compete with their designs ) It was at the Bowery Electric and I did hair for Stella and Hosted with Tommy ! It was such a success , crowds were down the block trying to get in ! It was great to see everyone again , and that they came out !
Natasha was doing fashion shows downtown at the time , and she asked me if I would host and do hair . We have been friends again since reconnecting .
