A man that wears many hats will never have a dull moment.
That can be said for this week’s Emerging Talent Antoine Anderson. This stylist/radio host/producer (FASHION ROCKS) is a Washington, D.C. native who has built a mini-empire with his modeling company, Models Envied Entertainment, and various entities that fall under that umbrella (ex. Mini Me Children Models). In just a few short years, Anderson and his brand have made a name for themselves and planted their feet firmly on top of the modeling troupe food chain. A few of his models have actually signed on to major agencies in N.Y.C. and onto the runways during fashion week. If you’re thinking to yourself that Antoine looks a tad familiar that’s because he’s been on E! Fashion Police two years in a row during their coverage of New York Fashion Week. This year he won BEST DRESSED and was personally awarded by red caret maven, Joan Rivers. Anderson’s distinct flair for fit and style sets him in a lane by himself. Just ask designer Jeremy Scott, Ciara, or June Ambrose who have managed to cross paths with this boy wonder.
Q&A
1. Who is your style icon?
Karl Lagerfeld and Patricia Fields.
2. Most prized possession in your closet?
I have a silver sequins vintage Chanel coat the hits the ground. It was given to me by my Godmother. I plan on wearing it this December in Paris for my birthday.
3. A MUST have for your fall wardrobe?
It’s funny because I’m not a big H&M shopper, but they have this amazing black leather vest that I must have this fall. The retail price of only $150, but it looks like it’s worth so much more.
4. Best celebrity encounter?
My best celebrity encounter has to be my fashion mother Rachel Zoe, I DIE! She is the reason I do what I do. My goal is to reach the success she had made for herself in my life of fashion. She is amazing and really really sweet.
5. Harper’s Bazaar or Vogue Magazine.
Most definitely VOGUE, The things Anna Wintour does with that magazine is amazing. I’ve watched the movies “The September Issue’ and “In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye ” over and over. I mean I did wear a VOGUE T-Shirt to an ELLE party during fashion Week.
6. Who are you currently listening to?
Cassie Mixtape (Rockabyebaby), Azealia Banks and Jessie Ware. I like to call it FASHION MUSIC.
7. Anna Dello Russo or June Ambrose?
I love June Ambrose she is a really nice person and I’ve had several talks with her., but you can not compare her to the LADY GAGA of FASHION Anna Dello Russo. I am one of her biggest fans. I’ve watched all her youtube videos on her looks at Fashion Week all over the world. She’s the reason I push the bar on dressing the way I do.
8. How was it being on E! Fashion Police twice?
Fashion Police is my favorite show and E! is my favorite tv network. It’s always on in my apartment. I’m really starting to feel apart of the family Joan Rivers knows me by my first name. Most of all, I feel honored that she would think I was BEST DRESSED because that puts me in a category so many great people.
9. Name 3 people dead or alive you would have at your dinner table?
Diddy, Terrence J. ,and fashion blogger, Bryan Boy. As a man it’s very hard to break into the fashion industry and these three are my favorite . Diddy has so much going on I don’t even I have to name them, Terrence J. is now a co-anchor on E! news covering all the red carpets events and Bryanboy is on every front row at every fashion show from New York to Paris. I would love to sit and hear the stories on how they made it!
10. Describe your style.
My Style is very timeless. I want to look back years from now and say “I was a HIT!”
