FLAUNT is known for being a bonkers place to work — in the best way possible! What's your wildest story inside the offices?
"Really, there are almost too many to remember! I've had great set experiences with the dynamic Tony Kelly — and Petra Ecclestone fainted once! We had trannies drinking rum in the suburbs, and nearly got run out by the neighbors. Oh, and we had Ian Somerhalder point a rifle onto Wilshire Boulevard from the Beverly Hilton — fun times!"

Can you give us some insight into what it's really like to work there?
It's one of those places where it feels like there's zero limitations. There's an attitude that you can do anything you desire, if you go after it and make it happen.There's also zero learning curve, so you have to figure things out quickly. When I started, there wasn't anyone in L.A. in the fashion department, and I had never really styled anything before. So, it was crazy — to say the least — when my first styling assignment for the magazine was to style a beauty feature with iconic photographer Donna Trope. I really had no idea what I was doing! There were a lot of mistakes that I laugh at looking back. But that's the thing with FLAUNT, I never know what I'm going to be doing the next day, or even the next hour. I think it's this energy and this openness and belief in young creative talent that Luis and Jim have always nurtured and pushed that makes us so unique and spirited."
