I make music with apparel
As a stylist and creative director I sometimes see myself as a songwriter who occasionally has to perform in order for their song to be heard.
The apparel, playing a different part in every song. A jacket provides a dope verse, accessories layer a look like the chorus, a sleek pant rings you into to the second verse, and a memorable shoe carries you to the bridge. Whatever your genre whatever your mood my passion is to get that right vibe.
Born in Denver, CO and raised all over the US, I’m a true American girl, brought up on southern values and a city mentality. My "stage name" Reese Lynnette is a combination of my childhood nickname and my given middle name. Fashion and costumes have ruled my life even before I known it had, from childhood circus performances and fashions shows the right look has always been my number one priority. Like many kids I was involved in extracurricular activities like dance and playing sports but even then it was all about “the look”. What will I wear to rehearsal, what's going to be my stilo for game day?
I studied journalism in college and quickly realized that it would be a short lived career, as I began styling looks for fashion shows and photoshoots for different brand campaigns, models, actors and photographers up and down the Florida coast. While also filling the role of visual merchandiser manager for a major retail brand there I gave styling and presentation direction for their Southeastern region of stores.
Later making the move to New York is where I truly found my vibe. Providing creative styling support to brands and fashion houses like Gentle Monster, TOME, and Ralph Lauren to name a few and working for Victoria Secret as their Creative Production Associate of marketing and digital media I knew I found my tune where I later went on to be a Sr. Creative Producer at Nike with their N. America Brand Creative team.
I welcome you to come with me as I continue to compose visual albums where clothing and accessories sing their fashion song to be heard by the world.
Peace and Love
