Hollywood Beard

Hollywood, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Well, my journey began on the catwalks of Phoenix, strutting my stuff at every casting I could find. People couldn’t help but notice my unique style, and they were always clamoring to know where I got my outfits. It was then that a brilliant idea struck me – why not turn my eye for fashion into a profitable venture? So, I began to position myself as a stylist, guiding others in the pursuit of their own sartorial excellence. It’s been a journey of steadily growing my clientele ever since each connection and creation adding to the tapestry of my career in the world of fashion. 

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s safe to say that my path has been anything but a smooth ride. Arizona, while a land of stunning vistas and vibrant culture, hasn’t historically been at the forefront of the fashion world. I had to dig deep, drawing on reserves of creativity and determination, to carve out a space where I could make a living doing what I love. It’s been a journey of perseverance, tapping into the wellspring of my passion to thrive in an environment that may not have initially embraced the fashion-forward spirit that I sought to share. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
As a fashion stylist, my scope is broad, ranging from the meticulous art of closet cleanouts to the high-stakes world of editorial shoots. Yet, my ultimate ambition is to secure a contract as a celebrity stylist on the touring circuit, lending my keen eye and inventive touch to elevate the sartorial narratives of iconic personalities. Within the realm of styling, my niche leans towards the realms of alternative fashion, where dark hues entwine with a spirit of rebellion, yet I am equally adept at crafting looks that exude a more measured and refined elegance. My proudest professional juncture arose when I embarked on the tumultuous odyssey of Suicide Boys Grey Day tour as the stylist for Ski Mask The Slump God in 2022. Every step of that journey served to ignite an ineffable joy within me, a feeling that continues to stoke the fires of my creative passion. 

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
In my formative years, I faced a gauntlet of bullying, which cast a shadow over my upbringing. Financial constraints loomed large, manifesting in the necessity of reusing the same clothing for prolonged stretches, sporadic access to haircuts, and even occasional limitations on personal hygiene. Nevertheless, my indomitable mother ensured that I never missed a day of school, recognizing it as an indispensable pathway to a brighter, more promising future. While my interests naturally gravitated towards sports, it was the realm of dance that truly captivated my heart and spirit, laying the foundation for a passion that endures unyieldingly to this day.
