And I am here with the Andrea Serrano.
I am so excited to interview right now.
For those that don't know you.
Tell them about what you do and why you're here today.
Yes.
So I am a wardrobe stylist by trade.
I've been doing this for 30 years, believe it or not.
Basically, I dress people for a living.
I also offer services where I can produce a shoe and hire the creative team.
And they are always has to be music on set.
For me that is a necessity.
Like music always brings a vibe.
You know, when you bring the vibe and the music, you know, that's when the model loosens up, the talent moves and loosens up.
Everybody gets into the zone and it makes such a big difference.
So I also my title is the Vibe Facilitator.
So music is always like, you gotta have a playlist.
That a vibe facilitator.
I might have to use that one day.
Yeah.
I need avibe facilitator here, please.
How has music shaped your creative eye throughout your career?
Wow.
It started at a very young age.
I grew up in the 80s, in the 90s, watching MTV and MTV was like your go to for pop culture, whether it was music or fashion.
Are there any genres or an artist that instantly spark any visual inspiration for you?
No, I mean, it goes from everything from the avant garde.
I love, Chappell Roan, a Lady Gaga, you know?
Am I going to dress like that every day?
No.
But, like, as far as conceptual and artistic take on styling, I really admire those artists.
So if fashion had a soundtrack to your life right now, what would it sound like?
Oh my gosh, maybe Chaka Khan.
'I'm Every Woman' I love that doesn't.
I wear a lot of hats.
I love Chaka Khan.
I love music that just is joyful.
That's happy, inclusive, that celebrates life, that celebrates empowerment.
And so that would be the soundtrack of my life, of me.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
This was so fun and I'm excited to see what your future ends up.
You know what happens in your future.
So I'm super excited about that.
Thank you so.
that has done the same exact thing?
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, like Madonna in the 80s.
I'm like, referencing back that.
I mean, she was such a trailblazer as far as style.
Like when she first came out, it was like the black jelly bracelets.
It was like the lace gloves.
It was the hair.
It was, yeah.
Just like the short jeans, the crop tops, the, you know, the big belts.
Like, she was such a style influencer back in the day, like so many trends were started because of Madonna.
And I'm trying to think, like, nowadays.
Gosh, there, like I said, there's so many amazing artists that are just like about their, you know, individual style.
Just off the top of my head.
I love that there's this crossover.
You know, Prince did it in the 80s where it was just like this gender crossover, and he was wearing, like, butt tight pants with the high heeled boots.
And, you know, there was definitely a lot of feminine energy, but he was very masculine that he was bringing to the stage and to mainstream.
And nowadays it's, what's that guy from?
Harry styles, you know, and so many artists are even, ASAP Rocky, you know, he could be wearing, like, a big, carrying a big Chanel bag and like, a coat that you would think you would see a woman wearing.
And so I feel like there's a lot of this, like, crossover, fluid style that is happening that I really appreciate.
Okay.
