Stylist Jamie Mizrahi may not look to trends for inspiration, but she's certainly been known to help set a few of them. For instance, her client Jennifer Lawrence has made fashion headlines countless times since they partnered up, and we've watched the influence of J.Law's elevated yet effortless street style ripple through the community in the recent surge of simple, polished basics. Whether she's advising Jeremy Allen White on which button to unbutton or creating a new custom black gown for Adele's Vegas residency every single weekend, Mizrahi's through line is always to give her clients a lived-in look that emphasizes their unique sense of style. This week, Mizrahi shares why she generally ignores fashion industry standards and encourages clients to rewear pieces, dig into the past seasons' archives, and dress in a way that feels authentic.

Shereene Idriss, MD, is on a mission to demystify the world of dermatology and skincare. Back in 2018, Idriss felt frustrated by the rise of misinformation online surrounding skincare and decided to set the record straight. With her background as a clinical dermatologist, she began posting educational Instagram Stories from her bed, and soon, a follower aptly dubbed her the PillowTalk Derm. Today, Idriss’s influence in the skincare world is threefold. Since graduating from her seven-year medical program, she’s amassed an audience of over 3 million people, opened her own dermatology practice, and created a skincare line called Dr. Idriss, which just launched at Sephora.

As a child, Nidhi Kapur constantly repainted and redecorated her bedroom, but she never thought that she would actually pursue a career in the design industry. In fact, after graduating college, Nidhi worked at major companies such as McKinsey & Company and Google before landing a role as the director of business development at the beauty subscription-box company Birchbox. But when she bought her first apartment and began the interior design process, she quickly recognized a lack of accessible and convenient custom furniture companies in the market. Soon after, she combined her longtime love of design with her deep knowledge and experience in business development to create industry disruptor Maiden Home.
