Celebrity Stylist Melissa Laskin On the Cutting Edge of Abstract Luxury Fashion
A fashionista known to many Hollywood A-listers for years, but who may be new to you is Melissa Laskin. Her new clothing line, elvislaskin, is currently "loved" and worn by some of the hottest names in entertainment, such as Mya, Courtney Cox, Taylor Armstrong of Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Deborah Gibson, Amber Rose, Bai Ling and many more.
Melissa Laskin’s successful career in art, celebrity and style goes back 15 years, with her work displayed on red carpets, award shows and big events in entertainment, worn by names that are bold face and famous.
Here are a few names from Melissa’s client list, celebrities who have graced her path…Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Billy Bob Thornton, Katherine Heigl, Forrest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, Hilary Swank, George Clooney, Jamie Pressley, Ewan McGregor. Plus Michael Jordan. Even Steven Spielberg. And more.
“Musicians are the most creative,” she says. “They constantly have to re-invent themselves." I dressed Keith Urban for two years, for all his personal and concert appearances, the Grammys, CMA Awards, American Music Awards. I dressed Annie Lennox for the Oscars.
Melissa worked behind the spotlight. Her work drew praise and applause from her colleagues, but rarely public credit. She was a Celebrity Stylist, making sure that stars looked like stars when the flash bulbs popped. Actors, athletes, musicians, directors, even writers owed their facing-the-public glamour and elegance to Melissa.
Today Melissa’s career is on a different track. All because she was a passenger in a car that was totaled in a horrific street accident in Los Angeles. It wiped out… over a four year period … Melissa’s health and her finances, and put her stylist/costumer career on hold (or so she thought).
