Before celebrities hit the red carpet looking impossibly glamorous or models appear in the glossy editorials of a magazine, there’s an army of people that work to make it all look effortless. Central to this process are the fashion stylists and editors who spend many sleepless nights putting together outfits for their clients. The best of them have the power to shape our view of fashion – think Grace Coddington, Polly Mellen, Melanie Ward, and Katie Grand. Take a look at the new crop of power influencer stylists steering the course of fashion.

After teaming up with Muñoz, Dion’s close friend and longtime backup dancer, it’s clear the two are a match made in fashion heaven.
