EDIT: Big thanks to Kiran Advani Anderson for identifying Fatima as dance choreographer Fatima Robinson. She choreographed all of Aaliyah’s music videos and has worked with a number of celebrity clients including Michael Jackson, Rihanna, The Black Eyed Peas, and Jessica Simpson, among others.
The person I was most excited to meet during my recent trip to Los Angeles to the Gap design studio was EvaLotta of the LA street-style blog, Hi Styley. I’ve been reading Hi Styley for a few years now. We first started tweeting at each other after both collaborating with JBrand for the JWorld launch. It was actually through Twitter that we realized that the both of us had been invited to stay at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood for the Gap collaboration.
EvaLotta and I spent all evening dishing about street-style, the rise of bloggers as a formidable force in the fashion industry, and what a great honor it was to attend Vogue’s presentation at the Gap. EvaLotta is the proud mother of two children, who are now pros themselves at spotting fashionable people. She told me that now that her kids are older, they point at stylish people and yell “Hi Styley!” How cute is that!! If I ever have or adopt kids, it will be my proudest moment as a parent when my progeny begins to help me street-style hunt.
Follow EvaLotta on Twitter, @HiStyley.
Thanks to a comment from It’s Amazing, “Natalie” has been successfully identified as actress Nathalie Kelley. Her biggest roles to date are Neela in The Fast and the Furious and the female lead in the Bruno Mars music video for “Just The Way You Are.”
