What do you think makes your company stand out? Can you share a story?I'm an identical twin. We have converted into NYC - fashion staples and icons because we have successfully created our own lane in fashion. Yes! were twins. We dressed alike but we literally studied our craft to enhance our fashion.

During fashion week, pre-COVID, we would hand select designers we'd walk the carpets for wearing their pieces. We made certain our looks were always innovative to make blogs want to talk about us and see what we'd wear next to a show. It was a great marketing strategy to get us in the headlines. It really grabbed the attention of all top tier media outlets.

What advice can you recommend to your followers on social media to help them to stay motivated and not get exhausted? A few tips I can give to stay healthy and not burn out is to be certain you have self care days. I'm an advocate for self care. If you take a day and dedicated solely for you you will find yourself more focused on work without feeling drained.

None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? I am grateful for my twin brother Antoine Von Boozier and my mother. They have been my divine force throughout my fashion journey. They've kept me level headed and assertive. I wouldn't have become a successful celebrity wardrobe stylist without them.
