Sydnee Paige: Working your way up in fashion and the true about life as a stylist in NYC

Ep. 43

In this episode Cat chats with fashion stylist Sydnee Paige! After completing an internship and then getting offered a full-time at Vince Camuto Sydnee moved to NYC. She spent some time in corporate but quickly realized that she thrived being on set. After a few months of research and prayer, a freelance assistant styling job with one of the city’s top celebrity stylists popped up and Sydnee jumped head first into the opportunity!


She’s assisted in styling Alicia Keys, John Cena, Chantel Jeffries, and my favorite CARDI B! Throughout our conversation Sydnee talks about how she built up her network from the bottom up, how she manages with the cattiness within the fashion industry, what it was like to work with Cardi and much more!
