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™ . Learn more about this creative,
and I must add, very kind man, of fashion in my
Q & A with him... ~Alexis

Can you share your first memory as a stylist?
Prada Key
My first memory as a stylist was…When I went into
my parents closet and got a very expensive gown
of my mothers without her knowledge (Whoops
LOL) I reconfigured it and made it and one of a kind,
beautiful, sophisticated, over the top homecoming
dress for my date when I was a freshman in high
school it earned me a Scholarship in Fashion Design.

Describe your creative process in helping
a new client?
Prada Key
My process and starting with a new client is: simply
getting to know them starting off with a consultation
learning their lifestyle such as their typical day to
day fashion aesthetic then form something Amazing!

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.
