Kate Young, based in New York, has solidified her status as one of Hollywood and fashion’s most sought-after stylists, with a client list featuring icons like Dakota Johnson, Sienna Miller, Margot Robbie, and Selena Gomez. Her exceptional ability to bridge the worlds of celebrity and high fashion has not only endeared her to the industry’s top echelons but also played a pivotal role in defining the public personas of the women she styles.

Young’s distinctive approach to styling is deeply rooted in her extensive experience within the fashion industry, bolstered by an editorial career that includes a significant tenure as Anna Wintour’s assistant at American Vogue starting in 1997. Her journey through the magazine’s styling department under the guidance of then-fashion director Tonne Goodman, coupled with roles at Teen Vogue, Interview, and InStyle, has provided her with an unparalleled fashion acumen.

Beyond her editorial achievements, Young has forged significant commercial partnerships, consulting for brands like Armani Exchange, Tod’s, Halston, and Target, and lending her styling expertise to campaigns for Victoria’s Secret, Dior, Carolina Herrera, Theory, and Guerlain Fragrances. Her collaborations extend to working closely with designers such as Jason Wu and Derek Lam, influencing both their runway shows and collections.

The transition to celebrity styling became Young’s primary focus following the birth of her second son in 2010, a move that has since redefined celebrity fashion. Young’s efforts have transformed her clients’ images, most notably overseeing Selena Gomez’s evolution into a fashion powerhouse, and curating influential looks for Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, and Sienna Miller.

In addition to her styling prowess, Young has ventured into design, launching her own line of knitwear for women and children. Her collaborative spirit has seen her work alongside Natalie Portman on vegan shoes and Tura eyewear on a sunglasses collection, as well as designing for Triumph Japan and Target. In 2014, Young expanded her influence into publishing with her debut book, “Dressing for the Dark: From the Silver Screen to the Red Carpet,” further cementing her role as a multifaceted fashion influencer.
