NEWSOME PHOTOS BY SAILEY WILLIAMS STYLING BY ATIBA NEWSOME

The bold, debonair and outspoken star of House of Glam models some of the hottest looks of summer while giving his expert on exceptional style. Rockstar style, celebrity looks and rights and wrongs for MEN of style, from the expert himself. If you weren’t a stylist what would you be? If I wasn't a stylist I'd probably songwriter or working for the city. I worked at the post office for the transit authority, did security, etc. I also wrote a few songs while working in the industry but styling always came easiest to me. I never kept a job for more than a year before becoming a fashion stylist and I'm going on 15 years. How do you get the clothing you use to style celebrities for the red carpet and photoshoots? I get clothes from showrooms or I'll go to a store like Barneys or Saks 5th Ave and take things out on approval. That's when we put down a credit card as security and take the merchandise on consignment and pay for whatever the client decides to keep after the job.
