It's SHUT UP EVAN x GUCCI, baby. In a very special episode presented in collaboration with the storied Italian fashion house, ERK is interviewing four of the biggest stylists in Hollywood, responsible for three of the best looks at the 2022 Met Gala: Kate Young, who styled Dakota Johnson, Elizabeth Stewart, who styled Jessica Chastain, and Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, who styled Jodie Turner-Smith. We'll chat with them about what they love most about the Met Gala, how the creative process plays out and why they each knew Gucci was the right fit for this year's Gilded Glamour-themed affair.
