I love this story that clothing tells
I love thinking about what clothes
tell you about a person or don't tell you about a person
I'm Kate Powell and I'm the fashion director for the Westfield Style magazine
my journey with fashion kind of started at a young age
it was kind of like this itch iinside that i needed to
scratch
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to do some modeling in New
York
when I was in college and I remember always being on set and
meeting the stylists and fashion directors and be like so
what's that and how do you do that
and oh do you need somebody to assist you
I'm really lucky that I live in New York there's really inspiration
everywhere you know you might see some high schooler
and be like he has this awesome outfit on and you're like genius
and they're not even thinking about it one of the
great things about my job that I love so much is that every day is
really different
the set, once it gets rolling it's just, it's magic
you see the clothes come to life on a body with
somebody who is just amazing and expressive in it and
all of a sudden all this story that you had in your head starts to play out in real
life and it's like a dream it
it's like a dream that you had to get to see in real life
and then you kind of had that anticipation and then you get to see the images
imprint so then you get like a second round buzz from that
being a stylist is kind of the greatest job in the world
I'm like, I get to play dress up for a living in people pay me I mean like this
is insane it's the greatest job ever so I I'm really really lucky
