Sofia Guellaty, Masquerade

What's your go-to NYFW outfit?
“For New York, I’d rather keep it more casual than the other cities, playing on bold jewelry, or a colorful, cool shoe. It’s making something casual, like the 3.1 Phillip Lim wool shirt with the Christian Dior pants, or something very street and mixing it with something very chic. And, of course, sunglasses!”

Do you pack in outfits, with a general idea of your looks or do you just mainly put outfits together on the spot?
“On the spot — every time I go somewhere, I end up buying things, just adding, adding, adding. Just being a stylist, the way I work is more instinctive than planned. I usually start with one accessory and I work my outfit around it.”
