欢迎回到绅士公报！

今天我们请来了 Ashley Weston，她有着精彩的表演 Youtube 频道。

她是一位名人男装造型师 在好莱坞，我们来到

魅力男士艺术营。

Sven Raphael Schneider：Ashley，谢谢 来了！

Ashley Weston：感谢您邀请我来到这里。

我喜欢它！

我喜欢每天被男人包围。

SRS：嗯，这让我们得出了一个重要的观点。

你是穿男装的女性之一 博客圈。

你总是有非常有趣的内容， 我认为有 Style Girlfriend，然后

YouTube 上有 Ashley Weston，你是 唯一的一个。

您是如何进入这个领域的？

AW：首先，我是一名男士 穿造型师。

我与客户合作开发他们所有的红色 地毯式亮相、他们的媒体招待会、任何他们做的

类型的媒体 我卖给他们 所以我总是被

归入整个世界和《GQ》、《Vanity》的造型 Fair、Esquire，所有这些很棒的杂志。

我意识到，实际上是和我的未婚夫一起， 多里安我们意识到很好，如果不能接受的话

会很遗憾 所有信息都在我的脑海中，然后将

放在一个空间、我的网站、我的 Youtube 中 平台，并让世界其他地方更容易访问

。

因为我肯定有很多朋友 经常来找我问我，

“嘿，你怎么穿这个？

你怎么穿那个？

我应该告诉我的裁缝做什么？”

所以，我只是想能够拥有它 一切都集中在一个地方，然后说：“嘿伙计们，

我实际上为此做了一个故事。

我已经制作了一个视频，快来观看吧。”

我真的只是想让它更容易访问 并将其分解并展示

真正拥有永恒的伟大风格是多么容易。

这不是很困难，也不需要花费 5,000 美元就能让你看起来不可思议。

您实际上可以以优惠的价格做到这一点 有些东西你应该知道

可以挥霍以及你可以获得什么 离开并只花几美元。

SRS：哦，这实际上是一个很好的观点。

Ashley 的很多客户实际上都出现过 在著名杂志的封面上，所以你可能

已经看过它，只是你不知道 还没有。

SRS：所以你提到了这些作品， 你能说得更具体一些吗？

你认为每个男人都有哪些单品 无论他们多大，无论

在哪个领域工作，都必须有？

AW：这很有趣，因为整个基金会 我的 Youtube 频道和网站是我

想要摆好桌子并专注于所有内容 每个男人都应该

拥有的必备物品，无论您的体型或年龄如何。

SRS：非常基本的每个男士服装。

AW：是的，并且它会起作用 与您衣柜中的所有其他物品一起使用。

我始终相信，无论你是否穿着 每天一套西装，

你生命中总会有某个时刻 需要穿西装。

无论是一年一次还是五次 一周后您就应该拥有一套非常合身的

西装。

这就是我觉得应该做的事情 投资一双漂亮的正装

鞋子，一件漂亮的休闲夹克，无论是 运动外套或者皮革飞行员夹克。

这些是我觉得应该的项目 投资。

T 恤或深色水洗等物品 牛仔裤，这些都是你可以带走并消费的物品

。

也许可以搭配 T 恤，我非常喜欢 Armani Exchange、H&M 的 T 恤

非常好，J. Crew 的 T 恤非常棒 那些。

Polo 衫，我不相信花钱 马球衫上有很多钱。

无论如何，您可以花 200 美元购买一台 John Varvatos 设计的我最喜欢的 Polo 衫

但它仍然无法维持下去 比如一件 H&M 的 10 美元 Polo 衫，

我一开始总是买四件 多里安的夏天。

SRS：最终取决于它是否适合您。

我指的是材料，有些更贵 因此要达到

的全价需要花费更多。

但它是可以交换的，如果你想要的话 一些更新鲜的东西然后你可以

也许不会挥霍。

另一方面，如果品质优良， 您知道，如果它是一件经典的

作品，您可以在 5 年后穿着，那真是太棒了。

如果更时尚，那就是 不同的球类游戏。

艾伟：是的。

这一切都是为了我，我总是看着 你对一件衣服的投资，我将

视为每次穿着的成本。

那么它会分解成什么呢？

对于一件漂亮的皮夹克来说，没有真正的 任何廉价的替代品

都会很棒。

忘记它吧。

SRS：他们总是很难，这很不舒服， 它看起来很便宜。

AW：这是值得终身购买的单品。

您需要对此进行投资。

如果你真的把它分解，如果你认为 您打算穿

多少次？

最后确实没那么贵。

SRS：当然。

...

那么你怎么说呢，我的意思是你位于 洛杉矶。

您曾经在其他地方住过吗？

AW：不。

虽然纽约就像是 我现在是因为我经常

去纽约，因为我的很多客户 新闻发布会、新闻招待会以及

他们的首映总是在纽约， 我在

纽约拍摄了很多照片。

非常新，您在这里就像是第二个家 点。

SRS：那么你在拍摄照片吗 你在那里？

AW：当然可以！

100%！

如果你们知道照片拍摄的内容， 这是非常艰苦的工作，而且看起来没有什么

完美，您在最终结果中看到的 照片。

SRS：带我们了解一下。

它是如何工作的？

AW：是的，很多时候，我的意思是如果 我可以让我的裁缝加入，我们

要做的是我们已经预先设计好外观。

根据进来的人才，他们会 试穿一下，我们会把所有东西都别上，然后

让我的裁缝缝制它。

如果她能尽快完成的话。

这根本不是正确的剪裁。

它只是让它在后面工作。

或者，如果我没有裁缝， 我只需要夹子和别针，然后将它们

放置在相机前面。

从字面上看，根据他们的移动方式，我 就像，“等等！一秒钟，一秒钟。”

我说，“保持这个姿势，我要 在。”

我会调整并确保每一点 皱纹消失了，我退后一步，让

摄影师拍照。

SRS：就像现实生活中一样。

AW：是的。

就像现实生活中一样。

这就是为什么我的朋友觉得我很烦人， 但他们爱我，因为每次我

在他们身边时，我都会开始调整事情。

SRS：她调整了我。

AW：这就像出于习惯。

我开始触摸人和抚平事物 并确保一切看起来都正常。

因为即使不是拍照，如果 在

他们走上红地毯之前，我会和我的客户一起走，我会最后做 看看我将要仔细检查的地方并

确保一切看起来都很完美。

他们的衬衫袖子拉得足够低 这样，四分之一英寸的部分就会暴露出来，

领带就完全笔直了。

所有这些事情，我都会拉起他们的裤子 对他们来说，系好鞋带，然后说

“好吧，走吧，走吧，出去吧！”

SRS：这会让他们感到不舒服吗 因为这太自然了，还是他们

很感激你帮助他们摆脱困境？

AW：他们非常感激，因为最后 当男人感觉“哇！

我知道我看起来很棒”的那一天。

他们散发出我绝对相信的自信 爱，这就是为什么我喜欢我所做的事情，

我真的觉得衣服可以创造巨大的价值 与男人感受到的自信不同。

SRS：当然。

AW：当男人感觉自己像电影明星时， 从他们的外表和自信来看，他们感觉自己是一个领导者——他们投掷 他们的肩膀向后，他们几乎

...

就像一个不同的人。

太棒了，你真的可以实现 与任何人都一样。

我不认为你需要成为一名演员 或者音乐家，或者具有某种外观，以便

看起来像一个主角。

我认为这很容易做到，有时 似乎很难浏览

并弄清楚“到底是如何做到的” 东西需要适合吗？

我需要穿什么衣服？”

我知道这似乎令人难以承受，这就是原因 我想创建一个频道，我真的

只是将其分解并使其看起来像 更有可能。

SRS：我认为其独特之处之一是 你就是你加入了女人的视角。

我的意思是，有很多男装博主 在那里，Youtube 频道。

AW：这很好。

SRS：但是你认为是什么让你 如此特别，为什么

女性的观点如此有价值？

AW：是的，归根结底，如果您 想想看，大多数男人都会把

转向他们的女朋友、姐妹、母亲、妻子。

他们将转向女性 他们的生活，尤其是他们想要的性别

，他们想要吸引的性别。

那么拥有女性的视角是非常宝贵的 因为我们知道男人穿什么好看。

我们知道什么会有吸引力 一个男人。

所以，我发现很早就选择了 在我的职业生涯中，只专注于男装

这是一个巨大的优势，因为 很少有女性真正专门从事

男士造型并愿意这样做。

我发现这是一个男人可以去的好地方 实际上感觉很舒服，而且他们觉得

有这些女性在身边，他们就被赋予了权力 他们对自己所做的事情非常了解。

归根结底，我了解他们的受众 最好的。

SRS：这是一个有意识的决定吗？

AW：这是一个非常有意识的决定。

SRS：你刚才说有一个 服务不足的利基市场，这就是我想要

的地方？

AW：是的，我也喜欢和男人一起工作。

我喜欢他们的个性。

我只是觉得我们的关系更好了。

我真的很喜欢经典的男士造型。

是的，对于我的每个客户，您都拥有 考虑到他们的个性以及

他们喜欢什么和不喜欢什么。

然后从那里你可以塑造他们的 图像，让他们感觉非常个性化和独特

。

我喜欢这样做带来的挑战。

但我喜欢在这个领域成为一名女性，因为 归根结底，男人想要给

名女人留下深刻印象，或者至少他们想要感觉自己是 女性观众发现他们很性感。

SRS：当然。

AW：我知道它们看起来很性感。

SRS：基本上当我们谈论风格时， 我们试图教导男性，重要的是

拥有使他们成为可能的个人元素 不同，因为如果所有人都穿相同的 T 恤，

相同的飞行员夹克，它很快就会变得 常态，他们并不突出。

因此，您的客户非常不同，有时 很容易说：“哦，这件衣服

很适合你。”

但是如果你对所有其他的事情都这样的话 他们觉得自己不再特别的客户

。

您如何处理这个问题以及您的想法 男人可以找到对他们有用的特殊东西

，让他们感到舒适，因此 自信又性感？

AW：好吧，归根结底，当 我正在与我的客户打交道，每个客户

都有不同的个性，有不同的 风格感，但有一个潜在的主题

充满经典永恒的元素 看看他们的风格，只是调整了一下。

他们都经过调整才能实现 — 也许 我的一位客户更倾向于城市

街头风格，更适合运动装 项目，然后我有一个客户喜欢

非常大胆。

领带越大胆，西装就越大胆， 越好。

它正在吸收所有这些元素并进行提炼 并将其分解，以便当他们

在镜头前时它不会翻译 变成如此响亮的声明。

说实话，我正在对我的频道做什么 是的，你想确保男人

感觉他们有个人主义 他们的服装。

这对他们来说非常个人化，但他们也 需要明白，你必须首先了解

基础并了解本质 这些单品确实适合您的衣柜。

然后从那里开始一次 你真的很清楚如何用基本单品穿得好看

并且真正理解 比例以及事物的定制方式。

因为对于男装来说，着装就是一切 关于

真正呈现令人惊叹的微小细节 那个人的形象。

所以男人需要真正了解基本的 首先是元素，然后从那里他们

将开始意识到，“哦，我实际上 我真的很喜欢将这些颜色或

这些图案混合到其中。”

或“我真的很喜欢这种夹克 但我真的想要更大胆的颜色。”

然后他们开始慢慢混合 它仍然看起来的地方，而不是它

看起来仍然清晰的地方，而不是它的样子 你知道，我想——我要

有点偏离主题。

SRS：好的。

AW：我认为这是一件大事，一个大问题 我发现在男人身上，

很常见，我哥哥总是这样做 时间，我实际上有几个朋友

这样做。

他们走进一家商店，然后就开始看到 他们喜欢的作品。

他们只是抓住那些吸引人的东西 他们通常都是有趣的大胆作品

，他们只是抓住一堆物品，他们 去买吧。

这个要几百美元，他们 路过并把它带回家，然后他们在床上看着它

，然后他们说，“我 不知道怎么穿这些。”

他们甚至不知道如何将这些组合在一起 变成一套有凝聚力的漂亮服装。

这就是如果他们理解并且 有了所有这些必要的部分，那么您

就有了一个行动计划，您知道您是否 穿上这种疯狂的飞行员夹克

或这种疯狂的运动外套或裤子…

SRS：你调整其他元素，以便 它有效。

AW：是的，所以我们有更可靠的基本元素 稍微缓和一下你现在拥有的

这件看起来很酷的衣服，非常 时尚，这一点也不无聊，但

不是模式语句重载。

SRS：好的，我认为您提到了一个非常 好点，尤其是你的兄弟正在挑选

他喜欢的东西。

你认为男人应该出去吗 他们的舒适区来开发标志性的

项目，或者应该是他们想要的东西 本质上舒服？

AW：这是一个非常好的问题。

嗯，我已经习惯了推动我的客户 在他们的舒适区之外。

SRS：好的。

AW：但是，非常慢。

我会做的就是总是说：“至少 试穿一下。

尝试一些你通常不会做的事情 试穿看看。

看看是否可行。”

因为很多时候男人实际上很 惊讶。

我的客户在尝试时感到非常惊讶 某事。

他们很相似，“哦，那其实不是 太糟糕了。”

或者我会说，“试试这个，不要 甚至看看镜子。”

我会拍张照片并展示给大家 它们在图片中是什么样子的。

我认为在你之后非常重要 感觉你已经确定了自己的风格

，但你感觉有些东西是 我想念你想让自己的日常装扮变得

有点不同， 我认为此时真正重要的是

，也许开始考虑单个项目 也许你通常不会穿，只是

尝试搭配你的衣服，搭配这件衣服 你会想象它并看看它是否有效。

SRS：没错。

AW：但你最终需要推出 你的舒适区，但如果你完全没问题的话，我认为这不是

的要求 您的服装以及您当前

穿着的衣服。

我知道 Dorian，他是我的未婚夫，他是 如此经典和永恒，以至于他只记下了这个

公式，我对此非常满意。

我认为这一点也不无聊，而且我认为 很多男人有时只是感到无聊，

认为他们的外表很无聊 只是经典。

SRS：所以他们想要一些东西来调味。

AW：是的，我认为你不应该这样做 这么想，但我明白了。

有时我们只是进入这个顶空 就像，“现在，我想要一些不同的东西。”

SRS：或者您可以获得一个配件。

如果你有一套深海军蓝西装，看起来很 与白色口袋巾或

金色、黄色和橙色的东西不同，对吧？

所以它确实很美观。

哦：但是首先考虑小元素并混合 起来吧。

不要采取大而大胆的举措，因为它们往往会 大部分情况下都行不通。

SRS：当然。

基本上在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，我们看到了很多 黑色领带和燕尾服。

传统上的着装要求是 很大程度上是由经典风格规则形成的。

近年来，我们只报道了奥斯卡奖 和燕尾服服装，有时

很难找到穿着燕尾服的男人 从头到脚到发球台。

你知道，他们违反了某些规则。

我想去年有很多很长的 黑色常规领带。

今年，领结更多了。

但也很奇怪的样子，合身有时 关闭。

人们似乎只是从品牌那里购买鞋子 他们不穿，而且

不太合身。

您对此有何看法？

为什么你认为好莱坞的穿着如此糟糕 事实上，他们有钱做其他事情

，尤其是像你这样的人。

AW：所以真正具有挑战性的事情是 颁奖季期间的造型师，因为有

这么多的黑领带颁奖典礼，怎么办 我们让它变得不同？

我们怎样才能让每件衣服都与众不同 让我们的客户脱颖而出？

最重要的是你有你的黑人 你穿上了海军蓝燕尾服，然后

外面就像是，“还有什么 我们可以做吗？

这时，一些设计师特别是如果 我们进行定制，我真的很喜欢使用

颜色和图案。

所以，我可能会做一个非常漂亮的深色 棕色燕尾服。

两年前有一个时刻，勃艮第 地毯上到处都是燕尾服。

今年是海军蓝燕尾服和白色晚餐 夹克遍布地毯，只是想

将其混合起来。

但我认为晚礼服确实很棒 混合黑领带并真正脱颖而出

，以一种在众多人海中脱颖而出的好方法 所有这些企鹅。

寻找不同的方法总是充满挑战 当着装要求非常

具体、非常严格且有点狭窄时，要与众不同 尽你所能。

SRS：我有时会遇到的问题是， 其实有很多细节，对吧？

你可以有不同的丝绸。

您可以选择莫尔丝绸、罗缎、 宽罗纹罗缎。

你可以有不同的领结，不同的 衬衫。

您可以拥有彩色口袋巾或 我们在展会上也看到过的天鹅绒晚礼服

最后一次奥斯卡颁奖典礼，他们看起来真的很漂亮 正如你所说，即使是深绿色、棕色或酒红色

也很棒。

那么为什么我们会看到这么多三颗扣子 带有凹口翻领和平口袋的燕尾服？

当这确实是一个小细节时，他们 可以做对，但仍然可以搭配不同的

颜色或微妙的图案。

你认为那是什么？

他们就是不在乎？

AW：我认为他们不在乎。

我觉得有时候你没有造型师 有时可能只是设计师

或只是裁缝。

因为我们的造型师再次接受了培训 查看

服装的每一个小部件。

所有细节都涉及到剪裁 一套衣服，无论它只是占据

四分之一英寸的下摆，我们都知道 这些事情。

所以，很多时候如果您没有 那里有一个注重细节的人，

很容易看起来不敏锐。

这就是为什么我总是在所有视频中提及 在我的频道中，确定

的服装非常重要。

我尝试获取尽可能多的知识 在我的脑海中，我与我的客户一起使用

，并将其真正发布到我的频道上 并在我的平台上。

你认为这也与 也许您知道，向他们提供了

物品？

显然这是一个绝佳的拍照机会， 很多摄影师，

人在杂志、电视和品牌中看到过它 知道这一点，因此他们向这些人提供了许多您选择的免费

商品。

这可能是一种影响还是您认为不会 根本吗？

AW：我一点也不这么认为。

我认为这不会产生影响。

我的意思是很多品牌显然都想获得 在这些红地毯时刻曝光，

我们也希望我们的客户拥有这些品牌。

我们已经建立了良好的关系。

我想了很多次，但有时却 只是归结为像某些人这样的个人

男人就是很固执。

有些男人真的很固执，他们认为 三粒扣燕尾服、三粒扣西装

穿在他们身上看起来很棒，或者他们喜欢 看起来真的很休闲的裤子，他们无法

想象它比超宽的裤子更苗条 在他们身上。

它试图让男人摆脱这种思维模式 “不，这对你来说不太好。”

而你穿着非常宽松的衣服 实际上让你看起来比实际更大、更邋遢

，这会有多大的不同 如果您刚刚在

中定制了您的商品，请使其更贴合并补充您的需求 体型。

很多时候这只是来自于固执 男人。

我们知道男人是顽固的生物，所以那就是 为什么我认为我对我的一些

客户以及与我打交道的人有巨大的优势 每天都会这样，因为我可以稍微微笑一下

，然后我会说，“不，不，不。

相信我，相信我。

让我只做一次。”

SRS：我经历过。

AW：是的，我有一只非常温柔的手 似乎能够说服人们

让我向您展示它的外观 拍张照片给你看。

如果您不喜欢它，那也没关系。

然后我会回到你觉得舒服的地方 慢慢地，我会拿起那条下摆

，或者把裤子再修身一点，直到 你会感到舒服。

SRS：至少保持开放态度，尝试新事物，看看 看看他们，然后做出决定。

AW：是的。

SRS：非常感谢你，阿什利。

我真的很喜欢它。

Welcome back to the Gentleman’s Gazette!

Today we have Ashley Weston, who has a wonderful Youtube channel.

She is a celebrity men’s wear stylist based at Hollywood and we are here at the Art of

Charm man camp.

Sven Raphael Schneider: Ashley, thanks for coming!

Ashley Weston: Thanks for having me here.

I love it!

I love being surrounded by men everyday.

SRS: Well that leads us to a great point.

You are one of the women in men’s wear in the blogosphere.

You always have very interesting content, I think there’s Style Girlfriend and then

there’s Ashley Weston in Youtube, you’re the only one.

How did you get into this field?

AW: Well first and foremost I am a men’s wear stylist.

I work with my clients on all of their red carpet appearances, their press junkets, any

kind of press that they do I sell them for and so I’ve always just kind of been relegated

to that whole world and styling for GQ, Vanity Fair, Esquire, all those great magazines.

What I realized, actually with my fiancé, Dorian what we realized was well it would

be a shame to not be able to kind of take all the information in my head and just put

it out there in a space, my website, my Youtube platform and just make it more accessible

to the rest of the world.

Because I definitely have a ton of friends that constantly come up to me and ask me like,

“Hey, how do you wear this?

How do you wear that?

What should I tell my tailor to do?”

And so, I just wanted to be able to have it all in one place and be like, “Hey guys,

I actually did a story on that.

I already did a video, go watch it.”

I really just wanted to make it more accessible and break it down and show how easy it is

to actually to have timeless great style.

It's not very difficult and it doesn’t cost $5,000 to make one look incredible.

You can actually do it at a great price point and there are certain things you should know

to splurge on and what you can kind of get away and spend only a few dollars on.

SRS: Oh, which is actually a good point.

Lots of Ashley’s clients are actually featured on the covers of famous magazines so you probably

have already seen it, you just didn’t know it yet.

SRS: So you mentioned these pieces, can you be more specific?

What are the pieces that you think every man must have no matter how old they are, no matter

what area they work in?

AW: It’s funny because the whole foundation of my Youtube channel and my website was I

want to lay the table and just focus on all the essential items that every man should

own regardless of your body type or your age.

SRS: So very basic every man outfits.

AW: Yes, and it is going to be able to work with all the other items in your wardrobe.

I always believe, regardless if you’re wearing a suit every single day, there’s going to

be a time in your life where you’re going to need to wear a suit.

Whether that’s once a year or five times a week then you should have a great fitting

suit.

That is just something I feel like one should invest in along with a great pair of dress

shoes, a great casual jacket whether it be a sport coat or maybe a leather bomber jacket.

These are items that I feel like should be invested in.

Items like your t-shirt or your dark washed jeans, these are items that you can get away

with and spend.

Maybe go with t-shirts, I absolutely love t-shirts by Armani Exchange, by H&M makes

really good ones, J. Crew makes really great ones.

Polo shirts, I don’t believe in spending a lot of money in polo shirts.

By all means you can spend $200 and get one of my favorite polo shirts by John Varvatos

but it’s still not going to hold up as well as maybe a $10 polo shirt from H&M, which

I always get like four of them at the beginning of summer for Dorian.

SRS: Ultimately it’s about how it fits you.

I mean the material, some are more expensive so it’s going to cost more to reach full

price.

But it’s exchangeable and if you just want something a little more fresh then you can

maybe not splurge on it.

On the other hand if it’s fine quality, you know it’s really great if it’s a classic

piece that you can wear 5 years from now.

If it’s more fashion forward, it’s a different ball game.

AW: Yes.

It’s all about for me, I always look at your investment into a piece and I look at

it as a cost per wear.

So what does it break down to?

For a nice leather jacket, there’s not really any cheap alternatives out there that are

going to be great.

It’s just forget about it.

SRS: They are always hard, it’s so uncomfortable, it looks cheap.

AW: It’s buy it for life piece.

You are going to need to invest in it.

And if you really break it down, if you think about how many times you are going to wear

it?

It is really not that expensive in the end.

SRS: Absolutely.

So how would you say, I mean you're based in LA.

Have you ever lived anywhere else?

AW: No.

Although New York is like a second home to me at this point because I’m constantly

going to New York because a lot of my clients press conference, press junkets was well as

their premieres are always in New York and I have a lot of photo shoots that happen in

New York.

So New your is like a second home at this point.

SRS: So are you present in the photoshoot where you are there?

AW: Yes of course!

100%!

If you guys knew what went into a photoshoot, it is very hard work and nothing looks that

perfect that you see in the final resulting photo.

SRS: Walk us through.

How does it work?

AW: Yeah, so a lot of that times, I mean if I can have my seamstress onboard, what we’ll

do is we’ll already pre-style the look.

Depending on the talent that comes in, they’ll try it on and we’ll pin everything and then

have my seamstress work on it.

if she can do it as fast as she can.

It is not proper tailoring at all.

It is just making it work at the back.

Or, if I don’t have a seamstress on board, I’ll just have clips and pins and then they get

positioned in front of the camera.

Literally, depending on how they move, I’m like, “Wait! one sec, one sec.”

I’m like, “Hold that pose, I’m going in.”

I adjust and I make sure that every little wrinkle is out and I back away and let the

photographer get the shot.

SRS: Just like in real life.

AW: Yes.

just like in real life.

That’s why my friends find me annoying, but they love me because every time I’m

around them I’ll start adjusting things.

SRS: She adjust me.

AW: It’s like out of habit.

I start touching people and smooth things out and make sure everything looks proper.

Because even if it's not a photo shoot, if it’s walking with my client right before

they get to the red carpet, I’ll do last looks where I’ll literally go through and

make sure everything looks perfect.

Their shirt sleeves are pulled down just enough so that a quarter of an inch is exposed, the

tie is perfectly straight.

All these things, I’ll pull up their pants for them, tuck in their shoe laces and like,

“Okay, go, go, go out there!”

SRS: Does it make them uncomfortable because it’s so natural or are they kind

of grateful for you helping them out?

AW: They are so grateful because at the end of the day when men feel like, “Wow!

I know I look great.”

They just radiate this confidence that I absolutely love and this is why I love what I do and

I really feel that clothes can make a huge difference with the confidence that men feel.

SRS: Absolutely.

AW: When men feel like a movie star, when they feel like a leading man in terms of the

way they look, their confidence — they throw their shoulder back, they are incredibly almost

like a different person.

It’s so great and you can really achieve that with any person.

I don’t believe that you need to be an actor or a musician, or have a certain look in order

to look like a leading man.

I think it is very easy to do it and sometimes it can seem very difficult to kind of navigate

through and figure out, “How exactly does things need to fit?

What items do I need to wear?”

I know it can seem overwhelming which is why I wanted to create a channel where I really

just kind of broke it down and made it seem more possible.

SRS: I think one of the unique things about you is that you added the woman’s perspective.

I mean, there’s a lot of men’s wear blogger out there, Youtube channels.

AW: Which is fine.

SRS: But what do you think makes you so special and why is the perspective of the

woman so valuable?

AW: Yes, well at the end of the day, if you think about it most men are going to turn

to their girlfriends, sisters, mothers, wives.

They’re going to turn to the females in their life, especially that’s the sex that

they want, the gender that they want to attract.

Then having a woman’s perspective is invaluable because we know what looks great on a man.

We know what is going to be attractive on a man.

And so, I found that choosing very early on in my career to only focus on men’s wear

that was a huge advantage because there was very few women that actually specialized in

men’s styling and wanted to do that.

I found that this was a great area where men feel very comfortable actually and they feel

empowered to have these women around them that are very knowledgeable in what they do.

At the end of the day, I know their audience the best.

SRS: Was this a conscious decision?

AW: It was a very conscious decision.

SRS: You just said that there’s an under-served niche and that is where I want to

be?

AW: Yes, and also I love working with men.

I love their personalities.

I just think we gel better.

I really love classic men styling.

And yes, with each of my clients, you have to take into account their personalities and

what they like and dislike.

And then from there you kind of mold their image so that it feels very personal and unique

to them.

I love that kind of challenge with doing that.

But I like being a woman in this space because at the end of the day, men are trying to impress

women or at least they want to feel like they’re female audience is finding them sexy.

SRS: Absolutely.

AW: And I know they look sexy.

SRS: Basically when we talk about style, we try to teach men that it’s important

to have a personal element that makes them different because if all wear the same t-shirt,

the same bomber jacket, it quickly becomes the norm and they don’t stand out.

So, you have very different clients and sometimes it’s very easy to say, “Oh, this looks

great on you.”

But if you go with that to all your other clients they feel like they are not special

anymore.

How do you handle that and how do you think men can find that special thing that works

for them that makes them comfortable and therefore confident and sexier?

AW: Well at the end of the day though, when I am dealing with my clients and each client

has a different personality, has a different sense of style, but there is an underlying theme

where there is elements of just classic timeless look within their styles, just tweaked.

They are all tweaked to make it — maybe one of my clients has more of a kind of urban

street style, more geared towards sportswear items and then I have a client who loves to

just be really bold.

The bolder the tie, the bolder the suit is, the better.

It’s taking all those elements and refining it and breaking it down so that when they’re

in front of the camera it doesn’t translate into something so loud of a statement.

So really, what I’m doing with my channel is yes, you want to make sure that men are

feeling like they have an individualism in their outfits.

It’s very personal to them but they also need to understand that you have to understand

the foundation first and understand essential pieces do play into your wardrobe.

And then from there you’re starting once you really nail down just how to dress well

with basic pieces and really understanding proportions and how things are tailored.

Because with men’s wear, dressing is all about the small little minute details that

come into play to really present an amazing image of that person.

So men need to really understand the basic elements first and then from there they are

going to start to realize, “Oh I actually really love mixing these kind of colors or

these kind of patterns into it.”

or “I’m really loving this kind of jacket but I really want it in a bolder color.”

And then they just start mixing that in slowly where it is still looking and not where it’s

still looking sharp and not where it’s like you know, I think a big — I’m going to

go a little off topic.

SRS: Alright.

AW: I think a big thing, a big problem that I see with men, just something that is

very common, my brother does this all the time and I actually have a couple of friends

that do this.

They go into a store and they just start seeing pieces that they like.

They just grab these pieces that are attracting them and usually they’re fun bold pieces

and they just grab a bunch of items, they go and buy it.

This one a couple hundred dollars and they go by and bring it home and then they look

at it on their bed and they’re like, “I don’t know how to wear these.”

They don’t even know how to put these together into a cohesive nice outfit.

And that's where if they understood and had all those essential pieces, then you

have a plan of action where you know if you grab this kind of crazy kind of bomber jacket

or this crazy kind of sport coat or pants…

SRS: You tone on the other elements so that it works.

AW: Yeah so we have a solid more basic elements to kind of tone it down where you now have

this sharp cool looking outfit that is very stylish, that’s far from boring but it’s

not pattern statement overload.

SRS: Okay, I think you mentioned a very good point especially your brother picking

things that he likes.

Do you think men should kind of get outside of their comfort zone to develop that signature

item or should it be something that they’re inherently comfortable with?

AW: That is a very good question.

Well, I’m so used to pushing my clients outside of their comfort zone.

SRS: Okay.

AW: But, very slowly.

What I will do is I always say, “At least just try it on.

Try something on that you wouldn’t normally try on and just see.

See if it will work.”

Because a lot of times men are actually very surprised.

My clients are very surprised when they try something on.

They are alike, “Oh, that is actually not that bad.”

or I’ll be, “Just try this on, don’t look even look in the mirror yet.”

And I’ll take a picture and I’ll show them in the picture what it looks like.

I think that it’s very important after you feel like you kind of nailed down your style

but you’re feeling kind of something is missing that you want to make something a

little different in your everyday look, I think that’s when it’s really important

to maybe start looking at a single item that maybe you wouldn’t normally wear and just

try it on with your outfit, with the outfit you would envision it with and see if it works.

SRS: Exactly.

AW: But you will eventually need to push out of your comfort zone but I don’t think that’s

a requirement if you’re just perfectly fine with your outfits and what you’re currently

wearing.

I know with Dorian, he’s my fiancé, he’s so classic and timeless that he just has this

formula down and I’m very happy with it.

I think it’s far from boring and I think a lot of men just get bored sometimes and

think that their look is boring when it’s just classic.

SRS: So they want something to spice it up.

AW: Yeah, and I don’t think that you should think of it that way, but I get it.

Sometimes we just get into this headspace where like, “Now, I want something different.”

SRS: Or you could get an accessory.

If you have a dark navy suit, it looks very different with a white pocket square or something

gold, yellow and orange, right?

So it really makes the look.

Aw: But taking small elements first and mixing it up.

Don’t do big, bold moves because they tend to for the most part not work out.

SRS: Absolutely.

Basically at the Oscar’s, we see a lot of black tie and tuxedos.

And that’s traditionally a dress code that’s very much formed by classic style rules.

In recent years, we covered just the Oscar’s and tuxedo outfits and it seems like sometimes

it’s very hard to find guys who are dressed to the tee head to toe.

You know, they bend certain rules.

I think last year, there were a lot of long black regular neck ties.

This year, there were more bow ties.

But also very strange looks, the fit is sometimes off.

It seems like people just get shoes from brands that they don’t wear and they just don’t

fit very properly.

What’s your take on this?

Why do you think Hollywood is dressed so poorly when in fact they have the money to do otherwise

especially with people like you.

AW: So the really challenging thing with a stylist during award season, because there’s

so many black tie award shows, is how can we make it different?

How can we make each outfit different for our clients so that they can stand out?

The biggest thing is that you have you black and you’ve got your navy tuxedos and then

outside of there is like, “Well what else can we do?”

That’s when some designers especially if we do custom where I really like to play with

colors and patterns.

So, I’ll do maybe a really beautiful dark brown tuxedo.

There was a moment 2 years ago where burgundy tuxedos were all over the carpet.

This year was navy tuxedos and the white dinner jacket was all over the carpet, just trying

to mix it up.

But dinner jackets I think are really a great way to mix up black tie and to really stand

out in a great way to stand out in a sea of all of these penguins.

It's always challenging to find different ways to be different when the dress code is very

specific and very strict and kind of narrow with what you can do.

SRS: What I sometimes take issue with is that there is actually lots of details, right?

You can have a different silk.

You can have a Moire silk, a grosgrain, a wide ribbed grosgrain.

You can have different bow ties, different shirts.

You can have a colorful pocket square or a velvet dinner jacket that we saw too at the

last Oscar’s show and they can really look great even in bottle green or brown or burgundy

as you said.

So why do we see so many three buttoned tuxedos with a notched lapel and flat pockets?

When really it’s a small detail and they could make it right and still go with a different

color or subtle pattern.

What do you think is that?

They just don’t care?

AW: I don’t think they don’t care.

I think that sometimes you don’t have stylist there and sometimes maybe it’s just a designer

or just the tailor.

Because again, with us stylist, we are trained to look at every single little piece of a

outfit.

So all of that detail that goes into tailoring an outfit whether it be even just taking up

a hem a quarter of an inch, we know all of these things.

And so, a lot of times if you don’t have someone there that is that detail oriented,

it could be very easy to not look sharp.

That’s why I always address in all my videos in my channel it's really important to nail

down an outfit.

And I try to take as much knowledge that I have in in my head that I use with my clients

and really put it out there on my channel and on my platform.

Do you think it also has to do with the fact that maybe you know, items are provided

to them?

Obviously it’s a huge photo opportunity, lots of photographers,

people see it in magazines, on TV and brands know that and so they provide a lot of free

goods you choose to those people.

Is that maybe an impact or would you say not at all?

AW: I don’t think at all.

I don’t think that’s an impact.

I mean a lot of brands obviously want to get exposure during these red carpet moments and

we also want those brands on our clients.

It's a nice relationship that we’ve got going.

I think a lot of times though sometimes it just comes down to an individual like some

men are just stubborn.

Some men are really stubborn and they think a three buttoned tuxedo, a three buttoned suit

looks great on them or they love a really relaxed looking pants and they can’t

fathom it being any slimmer than super wide on them.

It's trying to get men out of this mind frame that, “No, that doesn’t look good on you.”

And you wearing really loose baggy clothing actually makes you look even bigger and sloppier

than you are and what a difference it would make if you just got your items tailored in

a little bit more to fit and complement your body type.

A lot of times it's just stubbornness from men.

We know men are stubborn creatures so that’s why I think I have a huge advantage with some

of my client and just people that I deal with on an everyday basis because I can smile a

little and I’m like, “No, no, no.

Trust me, trust me.

Let me just do this once.”

SRS: I’ve experienced.

AW: Yes, I have a very gentle hand where I seem to be able to persuade people to just

let show you how it could look and let me take a picture and show you.

If you don’t like it, fine.

Then I will go back to what you’re comfortable with and slowly I will just take up that hem

or slim up those pants a little bit more until you get comfortable.

SRS: At least be open, try new things, look at them and then decide.

AW: Yes.

SRS: Well thank you so much, Ashley.

I really enjoyed it.
