Exclusively Fashion Magazine:
How did your career start as a fashion stylist?
Emilio Lacroze:
I started out as booker and scout for South
American Models (now Rebel Management). During my years
in the agency, I began to get involved with fashion
thanks to Rosario who introduced me into that world. At
the same time I started studying Art Direction and
Fashion Styling and this combination provided me with
full knowledge and enough contacts so to decide and
continue my growth in that direction and finally launch
myself to the market as a fashion stylist.

I can recall as a kid
being attracted to how people looked. Now I am an

born for this.

get my inspiration from life itself. I do analyze music

my mobile phone making calls all day long, walking,
looking for clothes, thinking, listening to music,
meditating, eating and sleeping.

How do you prepare for a
photo-shoot?

I get online as soon as I wake
up, browse photos international editorials in search for
references, and talk to the local magazines and press
and model agencies. I also contact hair and make-up and
after I go in search of the clothes together with my
crew, leaving everything set for the photo-shoot.
