"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?" -Dries Van Noten
Ladies and gentleman, we’ve got an industry veteran on our hands, and we can’t wait to share the ins and outs of her sartorial choices with you. Let’s start from the beginning. Stylist Amanda Ross is known for both her sophisticated and refined eye, which she developed throughout her years in the fashion industry. As the former Market Editor at Harper’s Bazaar US, she uprooted her NYC digs and headed west where she helped spearhead the launch of C Magazine (where another one of our favorite guys - George Kotsiopoulos – is also the style editor). But boys and girls, she’s back in the Big Apple and besides styling recent stories for Town & Country and L’Officiel (yes, even in this day and age we love nothing more than a physical magazine), we knew we had to shoot her when we became aware that she was the Style Consultant for one of our all time favorite shows Lipstick Jungle. #RIP. She’s taken the spotlight as one of the style experts on the season finale of Project Accessory, and continues to work alongside celebrity clients like Mariska Hargitay, Vera Farmiga, Naomi Watts and... wait for it… Steve Martin! Talk about the epitome of CLASSY. Ross was also named the Global Fashion Director to W Hotels (I guess we can thank her for our Veuve-induced hotel lobby shopping sprees) where she was responsible for creating Fashion Next, a program to support emerging designers at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. When we shot her in her NYC pad (where she just so happened to receive a massive Elsa Peretti cuff while we were digging through her archives - #jealous), she uttered the nine famous words we live by: ‘I never met a Chanel bag I didn’t like’ – and since then, it’s been a longwinded girl crush. From her drool worthy Alessandro Dell’Aqua coat to her Naeem Khan dress encrusted with bird features and rhinestones, one of her most coveted dresses just so happened to be gifted from the designer himself. “This dress was a going away present from Alber and the PR team at Lanvin when I left Harpers to move to LA”. Talk about a fashionable exit!
