About This Episode
Don’t let the petite frame and eloquent demeanor fool you. Style and Fashion Expert, Sydne Bolden Long, challenges the unexpected with her unique style perspective. Classic American girls learned how to seamlessly blend high fashion apparel with affordable items, studying Sydne’s monthly Instant Style column in In Style, where the specialized still life stylist contributed to more than 600 outfits in over 100 issues.
A Howard University alumna, Bolden Long has dressed Janet Jackson, appeared on the mastheads of Vogue, W, Allure and Honey magazines and has offered expert advice to brands such as BCBG Max Azria, Target and Top Shop.
In this episode, the humble fashion critic candidly describes how she made it.
