The Contour of Luxury Spring/Summer 2018 | Page 213

Very recently, I’ve had the pleasure of being introduced to Celebrity Stylist Pradaky. As a creative, I can appreciate his way of dancing to the beat of his own drum when it comes to his style aesthetic and navigating through life. While positively creative, it is his non-traditional fashion style that has caught the eyes and attention of some of the most known conservative styled individuals who reside in the luxury realm such as, Bill and Melinda Gates, and Judge Judy for instance. But Pradakey’s list of high profile and celebrity status individuals doesn’t just end there. He has worked with Stevie Wonder, Paris Hilton, Russell Simons, Tyson Beckford, Neo, Yolanda Admas, and a host of others. He’s also worked with Reality Stars on Bravo, WeTV, VH-1, and MTV. So with that said, he has absolutely earned his stripes, as a relative newcomer to Los Angeles, as a Celebrity Stylist, and I am pleased to feature him in this issue of my blogAzine™ .

Three words describing my personal style: Edgy, Sophisticated, and Regal. Alexis Day What is the most memorable client experience you have had? Prada Key What is the most memorable experience that I have encountered with a client? Where to start? I actually enjoy what I do. I don’t look at it as work, it’s actually second nature for me. Every experience is different. If I had to choose one. It would probably have to be going on a field trip in high school for one of my least favorite subjects at the time, (biology). My class ended up at the Bill Gates foundation. I got hired as their, the Gate’s, personal stylist, because of my untraditional fashion style, which caught their eye.
