Celebrity Stylist Extraordinaire, Karl Willett

The man behind the outfits, Karl Willett, is a celebrity stylist based in London. Karl’s client list reads like a who’s who of an A-list invite list. Passionate about empowering individuals to embrace their personality and style, rather than obsess over trends, it’s no wonder Paloma Faith, Kylie Minogue, Amanda Holden and Jennifer Hudson are just a few of the names who have him on speed dial. Yet, he fell into the career after embellishing his CV and believing in his creative flair. Today, Lan and Karl discuss how keeping focused and building relationships is more important than attending parties. And how working together is the key to success KEY TAKEAWAYS There's no substitute for the support of your loved ones. Being supported by family provides you with the safety net that can catch you when you're chasing your dreams, It takes vision to identify the career paths ahead of us. It take bravery and determination to turn those passions into a career. If something isn't working in life, change it. You only get one shot, so if you're feeling unfulfilled, do something about it. Trends are important and you need to be aware of them, but we create our uniqueness by embracing our individuality.
