Brad’s electric blue suit is by Calvin Klein. He left Rachel Zoe, Inc. on good terms and is now working independently as a stylist. I hear he has been very successful! If you’ve never seen The Rachel Zoe Project, I should tell you that Brad is an extremely talented and warm hearted person. My experience today confirmed that the Brad you see on TV is the real Brad – he really is a very optimistic and down to earth individual with great taste in clothing.
This past autumn I photographed Tony and Tayben out front of Sprinkles, the Gold Coast cupcake boutique. This time I caught them on their way into luxury flagship Burberry. Tony, a beauty stylist, gave me excellent manicure advice when I complimented him on his checkerboard nail design (see photo insert below). Tayben is a fashion design student here in Chicago. Both Tayben and Tony highly recommended I try celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann’s eponymous nail polishes for their high quality, staying power, and novel materials like real diamond dust and 24k gold flakes.
