This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thenewgarde.substack.comIt’s been a huge month for red carpets, with events like the Met Gala and the Cannes Film Festival serving as season closers where celebrities and stylists really bring their A game. This week, Alyssa is joined by Eliza Brooke to really nerd out about the stylist, talent, and brand partnerships that fuel the red carpet machine. This is our version of sports, and while some of you are locked into the NBA Playoffs, we’re focused on a different kind of bracket: which star has a contract with which luxury brand, what celebrity quietly traded their stylist for another, which stylist stole an MVP client from a peer, and so on. Tune in to hear their thoughts on the most exciting talent and stylist pairings in the game right now; what it takes for a duo to really make magic on the red carpet; the behind-the-scenes sponsorships and brand deals that are required to pay the bills; the magazine editor to celebrity stylist pipeline; YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok as the new launching pads for stylists’ careers; the intimacy of a stylist/client relationship; what happens when there’s a public falling out or switch-up in the styling world; how celebrities decide on a new aesthetic direction when they’re entering a new era; the tragedy of a brand ambassadorship that’s a bad fit; the rising stars on the styling scene to keep an eye on, and much more.This episode was recorded in the podcast studio at The SQ @ 205 Hudson.
