I’ve recently discovered Grace Woodward, judge on Britain’s Next Top Model and celebrity stylist. Something about this chick is interesting to me, so I’ve taken to reading up on her and looking into her work. It didn’t surprise me that I’d have an affinity for her when I found out she styled Florence Welch early on. Check it.
Anyone who uses mustard yellow is a-ok in my book.
Here’s something I liked from an interview with Grace in The Guardian:
To me, styling is about making fantasies. It’s only recently that people have understood that it’s not about pairing shoes with handbags – rather it’s like painting, using texture, cultural references like Queen Elizabeth I, and movement, not just clothes.

Her personal style is characterized by her oversized, thick-rimmed black glasses, stunning red-painted lips, and hair pulled back in a tight pony or completely down as seen here.
Her website (gracewoodward.com) has links to her work, list of accomplishments, more photos, and blog. Here’s a look at what she has to say about body image from her latest post:
I think she hits on what we all think about. And it’s nice to hear someone else in the fashion industry talk about it. Thank you, Grace Woodward, (even though I don’t like all her work) you’ve made me a fan.
