How did you get into the fashion industry?I started out because of my friend, he asked me to style his dancers for a “Black Lives Matter” video shoot. Ever since I’ve been working in the fashion and styling industry. 

As a woman of color and a respected wardrobe stylist, how do you aspire to assist individuals wanting to get into your fashion? I believe my personality and how I carry myself in the fashion industry is what has transcended my career. I’m  organically myself. I also stand on business  when I explain my work and what I do. I believe that  you have to be yourself and be honest. When individuals  add me on Instagram  and other social platforms they seem I’m a woman about my business. They also see me with celebrities and that I have solid relationships with my good friends such as Pilar Scratch and Remi Jones of Remi TV.

How important is it to make a difference in fashion? It’s important to me because where I come from in the Bronx, I would have never thought I’d be  helping others look good. I know I’m motivating other aspiring stylists by telling my story. It amazes me that I’m in the fashion industry helping others  with their wardrobe and inspiring them with my story. 

What are your career ambitions? I aspire to motivate the masses. I want others to see my story and to continue to be inspired. I want everyone to know that their dreams are obtainable. My personal career ambition is to stay focused; tunnel vision. 

Is there anything else you’d like to share with us?Yes, I would like to share with the youth that they can do anything they put their mind to, never give up even when it gets hard, keep going, and that better days are coming. Keep up with Denise Styless on Instagram @DeniseStyless
