  1. 0:00and we were leaving in heels. Now it
  2. 0:02seems to us that, oh, I am totally out
  3. 0:04of place. Oh, this client is paying me
  4. 0:08and is spending money and doesn't know
  5. 0:10the mess they're going to give him.
  6. 0:13If a stylist doesn't solve your problem
  7. 0:15, don't buy it.
  8. 0:16If it doesn't solve your problem, bye.
  9. 0:18It is just that there are obviously
  10. 0:19people whom we enjoy working with more
  11. 0:21and others whom we enjoy working with
  12. 0:22much less. There are some who are
  13. 0:25referred to photographers. The girl's
  14. 0:27leg is going to show through her
  15. 0:28panties. The heel. This. Join in and
  16. 0:34shut up. This screen is discarded. I
  17. 0:37took it home for the cameras at home.
  18. 0:39Very expensive. Don't answer here.
  19. 0:41Don't answer or I don't have a date.
  20. 0:43Ahita. I always answer them, but you
  21. 0:45know what, I don't have a date. No,
  22. 0:46never. Today's podcast is going to be a
  23. 0:54little different, because this is going
  24. 0:57to be a lot of buzz with the guest I
  25. 0:59have here today, because she can't hold
  26. 1:01back, she can't hold back at all. But
  27. 1:05you don't know who she is; but she's a
  28. 1:07very well-known stylist that I love. As
  29. 1:11I've always told you, the people I have
  30. 1:14here are going to be people whose work
  31. 1:16I love and who are dedicated to fashion
  32. 1:18, to fashion, to dressing them up,
  33. 1:20accompanying them during their
  34. 1:22photoshoots, during their events. She's
  35. 1:27very creative, I don't know, you tell
  36. 1:30her, "With this, give me a look and
  37. 1:32she'll do it for you." And it's really
  38. 1:35cool, uh, she's
  39. 1:39very original, she's
  40. 1:41very original. And well, here with you
  41. 1:45I have the great stylist from Culiacán
  42. 1:48, Luz Payán.
  43. 1:51Uh, audience, audience,
  44. 1:54audience, those of you over there. Uh,
  45. 1:58I'm very happy, Lu.
  46. 1:59Thank you, Karen. Look, with those
  47. 2:00cheers I was like, what do I say now?
  48. 2:02Now what do I talk about? Thank you
  49. 2:04very much. Here we are. I wanted to
  50. 2:07come and gossip about fashion, tell you
  51. 2:09what we're doing, what we're going to
  52. 2:11do, how we're doing it, but you figured
  53. 2:12it out perfectly, didn't you? I'll
  54. 2:16show you a look with this, of
  55. 2:17course, whatever you want, you know,
  56. 2:19with this petal and make me a look.
  57. 2:21I always say, "Wear the clothes, we
  58. 2:22don't
  59. 2:22know how to dress, right?"
  60. 2:24And now they are buying and buying with
  61. 2:26that che thing, going crazy for the
  62. 2:28sales and then they do not even wear
  63. 2:29anything. That's what I'm getting at.
  64. 2:33It's a gift, it's a gift that you have
  65. 2:34to have because sometimes you don't
  66. 2:36even know how to combine colors, black
  67. 2:37and white and how to combine them and
  68. 2:39you're dead. Hey, and that's because I
  69. 2:41did start playing, Karen, playing. Then
  70. 2:44I specialized, but you have to bring it
  71. 2:45. In fact, many times I've been invited
  72. 2:48to give classes at very famous schools
  73. 2:50here and I refuse, as the song says,
  74. 2:52because I can't fail them and there are
  75. 2:54people who really don't have it. Well,
  76. 2:56too bad, kid, she does this work and
  77. 2:57lacks it too. She wants to be one thing
  78. 3:00, like you dress cool or like, oh girl,
  79. 3:01the friend who dresses cool, but when
  80. 3:03it comes to interpreting it with people
  81. 3:05or getting inspired. I looked on
  82. 3:07Pinterest and this and this look good
  83. 3:08and you wear it, you copy. That's
  84. 3:11copying. It's very different,
  85. 3:12right? And besides, even if they copy
  86. 3:14it, for example, I can copy you and
  87. 3:16they can be the same clothes and it
  88. 3:18doesn't come out right. You have to
  89. 3:20have that gift. That applies to
  90. 3:22everything, right? In photography, in
  91. 3:24clothing, there are people who will
  92. 3:25copy you and they still can't do it
  93. 3:27because they're not funny. I mean, 100%
  94. 3:29you have to have the gift, the grace,
  95. 3:31the spark, that spark that you have
  96. 3:33that where you get, what's up? There
  97. 3:37they are
  98. 3:37afraid of me, but I do behave very well
  99. 3:39. It's more like part of my image.
  100. 3:41She's a little strict, but honestly, I
  101. 3:43always try to have fun with my clients
  102. 3:45and treat them well. It's super
  103. 3:47important to be nice to people so that
  104. 3:48everyone can identify with you.
  105. 3:50Sometimes, no. Yes, I've had my two or
  106. 3:52three little details that I have. There
  107. 3:54are some very complicated people.
  108. 3:55Tell me, tell me. Let's start with that
  109. 3:57. Here, gossip will come first. Tell me
  110. 3:59. Let's see. There are some
  111. 4:00very complicated people, Carmen. I mean
  112. 4:02, more so in Culiacán. Here in
  113. 4:03Culiacán, the truth is that they think
  114. 4:05that you're the one who paints me,
  115. 4:06paints me, does everything for me, and
  116. 4:08they don't even tell you, "Please, or I
  117. 4:10want this and I want you to put Chanel
  118. 4:12Hermés on me and you, let's see, Mommy
  119. 4:14, do you have it?" No, no, you bring it
  120. 4:16to me. Well, you have to have it to
  121. 4:18know how to use it. Well, in my job, I
  122. 4:20also work with brands and stuff, but
  123. 4:22that's not the point, right? I always
  124. 4:24tell them that brands were a boom here
  125. 4:25in Culiacán for a while, when everyone
  126. 4:27wanted brands, and I thought, well, why
  127. 4:28would you wear them if you don't have
  128. 4:30them in your daily life? Sure,
  129. 4:31why should I say that? I mean,
  130. 4:33something aspirational is really cool,
  131. 4:35but no, there was a time when it really
  132. 4:37affected me like, let's see, if I have
  133. 4:39certain things, but if you don't have
  134. 4:41them, you're not going to...Besides,
  135. 4:42how are you going to carry a Hermes bag
  136. 4:44among your things that are what you're
  137. 4:46going to use every day to someone, or a
  138. 4:48pair of Chanel sneakers? How are you
  139. 4:50going to buy a pair of sneakers that
  140. 4:52cost $ 40,000 if you're catching 5%of
  141. 4:55the sneakers and they're not going to
  142. 4:57sell them to you? Well, no, I mean, no.
  143. 5:00Well, that was one of the things that
  144. 5:02some people didn't like. And another
  145. 5:03thing, well, sometimes it doesn't click
  146. 5:04, right? When they tell you, "I want
  147. 5:06this, I want to stand out from the
  148. 5:08crowd and shine." And you see that
  149. 5:11neither the person you hired does it
  150. 5:13nor I do it,
  151. 5:14which is very important, right? Many
  152. 5:16people hire you and don't even review
  153. 5:18your work or what you do and as we were
  154. 5:20talking about a while ago, ah, I want
  155. 5:21this. But I don't do it. I mean, it's
  156. 5:25not so much a fight with the client,
  157. 5:26it's more like I don't do it, hire them
  158. 5:28to do it or hire them to do it, right?
  159. 5:30Because many times it's not that you
  160. 5:31don't do it, it's that you don't want
  161. 5:32to do it,
  162. 5:33right? And what matters, what's
  163. 5:34important, is knowing how to say, "Hey,
  164. 5:36stop, I won't do it." And not just to
  165. 5:38keep the client's money, do something
  166. 5:40that you know doesn't represent you,
  167. 5:42that you don't do it, that you simply
  168. 5:44don't do it
  169. 5:44because then they're going to ask you,
  170. 5:46they're going
  171. 5:47to ask you and they're going to ask you
  172. 5:48and you're going to say, oh, I don't do
  173. 5:50this and I don't like it, it's not me.
  174. 5:52And that is going to be another thing
  175. 5:53you must do. And I always say, if you
  176. 5:56do it for money, right? That too, of
  177. 5:59course, obviously we all work for a
  178. 6:01monetary purpose, right? But when your
  179. 6:05essential motivation is, oh, I want to
  180. 6:06make money, it doesn't happen very
  181. 6:08often. I mean, that's why 350,000
  182. 6:10styles came about, because they do it
  183. 6:12for money. That's what I
  184. 6:13meant, we're getting ahead of ourselves
  185. 6:15, right? But that's what I was going to
  186. 6:16talk about. What do you think about
  187. 6:18that? That stylists pop up everywhere?
  188. 6:21And well, sometimes, they're people who
  189. 6:23either don't have the gift, or even
  190. 6:25though they studied it, it just doesn't
  191. 6:27come to them, or they didn't even study
  192. 6:29it and because they went to a session
  193. 6:31with a friend and helped the friend put
  194. 6:33on her boot and jacket or something.
  195. 6:35Oh, yeah, now they're stylists. Well,
  196. 6:37right now everyone is a stylist. Since
  197. 6:40I worked at Sara's for 2 hours, I've
  198. 6:41been a stylist for 2 hours. My mom and
  199. 6:43I dressed her for her first communion.
  200. 6:45I'm now a stylist. They tell me that I
  201. 6:48look good, man. I'm a stylist now, and
  202. 6:49I'm not.
  203. 6:50What do I think? It's too easy for them
  204. 6:52? It's so easy for them, so easy that I
  205. 6:54feel like right now they're really
  206. 6:56devaluing the market, because there are
  207. 6:58so many who say, "Oh, I'll buy a piece
  208. 7:01of chain
  209. 7:02and I'll do it with that, right?"
  210. 7:03Or that they lower their prices
  211. 7:05and, well, I always say that everyone
  212. 7:07can charge what they want, right?
  213. 7:08Everyone knows what they're worth, but
  214. 7:10it's very important that you give to
  215. 7:12the client. So, well, there are many
  216. 7:14who believe they are, but they're not.
  217. 7:17And deep down they know it because
  218. 7:18they're copying trends, copying what
  219. 7:19the other person does, doing exactly
  220. 7:21the same thing and as we were saying,
  221. 7:22it doesn't work out for them, it
  222. 7:24doesn't look like Wenda's, it just
  223. 7:25doesn't work out.
  224. 7:27I feel like the stylist market is even
  225. 7:29more jealous than the photographer
  226. 7:30market.
  227. 7:31Yes, because, well, it's the same thing
  228. 7:33, the client is going to ask you for
  229. 7:34the same thing that someone else saw or
  230. 7:36you always have to be creating because
  231. 7:38you know that what you've already done
  232. 7:39will be replicated and that's great. I
  233. 7:41always say, it's a tribute to life, let
  234. 7:42them continue it. replicating. What a
  235. 7:44pain. This one, but that detracts from
  236. 7:47the work.
  237. 7:48Yes, you come to realize that this
  238. 7:50stylist copied this look from me and
  239. 7:53this is what I did.
  240. 7:54Yes. And many times it's not really him
  241. 7:56, it's also the client who asks for it.
  242. 7:58I mean, it's a balance, right? You know
  243. 8:01who is copying you because it's
  244. 8:03shameless. The client asks for it and
  245. 8:05it's once, once in a while, well it's
  246. 8:06like the photos. Oh well, I want the
  247. 8:09photo in the white circle in the back.
  248. 8:11Oh, it's not going to say a
  249. 8:12photographer copied me. Well no, the
  250. 8:13client asked for that. This, like for
  251. 8:15example the metallic looks, those the
  252. 8:16gold looks, the tool ones, the client
  253. 8:18is going to keep asking for them. So,
  254. 8:20on that note, I don't think that type
  255. 8:21of look is so common. You realize when
  256. 8:24it's a joke or when you say, "Hey, you
  257. 8:26want to be a stylist, put in some
  258. 8:28tricks, invest in it." It's also very
  259. 8:30easy for them because they don't invest
  260. 8:32, they don't invest and in This
  261. 8:33requires a lot of investment, right?
  262. 8:35Yes.
  263. 8:36Let's say that as a photographer you
  264. 8:37can fix it if the boot comes bent
  265. 8:39because sometimes they do bend it, yes,
  266. 8:40but sometimes they do come back really
  267. 8:42damaged. So if you don't want to invest
  268. 8:45, just take money, it's the same thing.
  269. 8:47You're doing it just for the money, not
  270. 8:48to treat the person well, to make them
  271. 8:50feel cool, which is what I mean, right?
  272. 8:55So that they can see it and say, "Oh
  273. 8:57man, I took a bath.""
  274. 8:58I used to recommend, like, oh, well,
  275. 9:00there's such and such a stylist, such
  276. 9:01and such a stylist, they're missing
  277. 9:02something. I would send them the list
  278. 9:04like
  279. 9:04the directory.
  280. 9:05Yes, the directory of Stylists of
  281. 9:07Culiacán, I swear. But some time ago I
  282. 9:10started to realize, I mean, the
  283. 9:12difference between how a stylist treats
  284. 9:14a client and how another treats them.
  285. 9:17That's
  286. 9:18also very important. I always tell them
  287. 9:20, styling someone goes way beyond the
  288. 9:22clothes and if you're just hiring
  289. 9:23someone for the clothes, then you're
  290. 9:25hiring a costumer. Costumers or someone
  291. 9:27who puts your clothes on. Look, all of
  292. 9:30them, all of them, and there are too
  293. 9:31many. But as long as they make you feel
  294. 9:34good, they make you feel comfortable,
  295. 9:36they pamper you, they make you say," Oh
  296. 9:37, I had a great time, the session isn't
  297. 9:39a nightmare. "" It's
  298. 9:41even for us, the photographer, that
  299. 9:46the stylist can either make the session
  300. 9:48easy or difficult or complicated,
  301. 9:50because for example, I really like it
  302. 9:52when you guys come and ask me if you've
  303. 9:54noticed, to pose for me or to see some
  304. 9:56of your poses. I mean, oh no, Karen, I
  305. 9:58don't want to work.
  306. 9:59No, no, no, no. Here with Karen Ibarra,
  307. 10:02we work, man.
  308. 10:03Yes, of course. That's why teamwork is
  309. 10:05very important. If you work as a team,
  310. 10:06you work more comfortably,
  311. 10:09the session goes by faster, and if
  312. 10:10there's a situation like the one I'm
  313. 10:11telling you about, like my stocking
  314. 10:13ripped, you solve it as a team; you
  315. 10:14don't feel that attention anymore, like
  316. 10:16, how am I going to say it? And
  317. 10:18obviously, like everything else, there
  318. 10:19are photographers that I don't work
  319. 10:21with and won't work with again, and I
  320. 10:23don't care.
  321. 10:24And I don't care. Why? Because they
  322. 10:26don't support you. No, or maybe you
  323. 10:29excel at doing a great job and when
  324. 10:31it's time to They deliver the photos,
  325. 10:33horrible photos that he didn't even
  326. 10:36show, you say, "Oh, this client is
  327. 10:38paying me and spending and doesn't know
  328. 10:41the mess they're going to deliver to
  329. 10:43him." It's super important, right? I
  330. 10:45always ask, who's going to take care of
  331. 10:46you? Because I know that we're going to
  332. 10:48be able to work on that. And sometimes
  333. 10:50they ask you for things and you say, if
  334. 10:52you're saving money with the
  335. 10:53photographer and not with me, then the
  336. 10:55result might not be the same, right?
  337. 10:57And you hear it,
  338. 10:58but sometimes it can be misinterpreted,
  339. 11:00putting the client on alert and saying,
  340. 11:02I never tell them, I just ask to know,
  341. 11:03oh, do you want to do this? Well, what
  342. 11:06needs? I also have to cover it, it's
  343. 11:07part of my job. And this is wrong
  344. 11:09because you're exposing the other
  345. 11:11person and maybe that person needs a
  346. 11:13little more, it doesn't mean it's wrong
  347. 11:14, but it doesn't meet the requirements
  348. 11:16of what the client wants. If you want
  349. 11:18photos like that, you have to hire them
  350. 11:20here when they ask me
  351. 11:22or if they don't have a photographer
  352. 11:24anymore or you want this, you can hire
  353. 11:26them here because that person will give
  354. 11:28you the vibe, the bike, as the girls
  355. 11:30say now, or whatever you want. If not,
  356. 11:32well, We will do everything possible to
  357. 11:33make it work, but it won't be the same.
  358. 11:35It's not going to happen the same,
  359. 11:36right? It happened to me a lot, I'll
  360. 11:38tell you, I'd go through the whole
  361. 11:40calendar and now I don't have my top
  362. 11:42photos and I'd just do a few little
  363. 11:44numbers, I mean, and it's like, no...I
  364. 11:46don't tell them, "I don't recommend you
  365. 11:48anymore," I simply tell them, "I like
  366. 11:50to work with the stylists I like, with
  367. 11:52the ones who do a good job," and beyond
  368. 11:55that, I don't know you anymore. If you
  369. 11:58bring your own stylist, no problem. I
  370. 12:00mean, yes, I do work with them, but
  371. 12:02they almost always come with the ones I
  372. 12:04like. Because there was also a
  373. 12:07situation where I recommended a lot of
  374. 12:09stylists and then I found out that some
  375. 12:10of the stylists I recommended were
  376. 12:12already talking to me, "Oh, who's going
  377. 12:14to take your photos? Oh, Karen Ibarra."
  378. 12:17Oh, but look, there's so-and-so
  379. 12:18photographer,
  380. 12:20the client was stealing my photos and I
  381. 12:21was a good person. "
  382. 12:22Those are bad practices. When the
  383. 12:24market grows, for example, in
  384. 12:26photography, in styling, in everything,
  385. 12:28those kinds of things happen. The truth
  386. 12:30is that the new guys do it, the new
  387. 12:32guys who say I'm going to steal money
  388. 12:34to work here. And what do they do? They
  389. 12:36close the market, they close doors
  390. 12:38and they close the doors on themselves
  391. 12:40because the client goes to them once,
  392. 12:41they don't deliver the results they
  393. 12:43expect and then they come back to us
  394. 12:44and tell us," Sure,
  395. 12:46please. "" I mean, we've been through
  396. 12:48all those things, right? And even more
  397. 12:50so when lawsuits start between several
  398. 12:52people. I've never really been in an
  399. 12:54employment dispute with anyone, thank
  400. 12:56God for that, because I'm very clear.
  401. 12:58Oh, I don't work with the point. Oh,
  402. 12:59I'm telling you to their face. I mean,
  403. 13:01I don't like working with this person
  404. 13:03and I try to avoid those situations so
  405. 13:05as not to end up in a lawsuit. I don't
  406. 13:07like those rumors because, what do you
  407. 13:09say? It says more about what you say
  408. 13:11about that person than what you're
  409. 13:12doing. Sure. So, if this person comes
  410. 13:15and tells me, well, that says it. I'm
  411. 13:19not one to complain, I just, oh, okay,
  412. 13:21that happened, excuse me, I won't pass
  413. 13:24on your number again, I won't recommend
  414. 13:26you again, period. Oh, I haven't seen
  415. 13:30you since. Who knows? Oh, how strange.
  416. 13:32Touched.
  417. 13:32Oh, you don't lend me things anymore.
  418. 13:34Who knows why I have it busy? And also
  419. 13:38I like clients, uh, I love to like bad
  420. 13:40clients who behaved badly during the
  421. 13:43session. I say, "No, mommy, no, it
  422. 13:45won't happen to me again." And badly I
  423. 13:49mean that sometimes they are rude to my
  424. 13:51assistant, to me, to the makeup artist,
  425. 13:52since everything is a team, you say, "
  426. 13:54No, this person is going to be a
  427. 13:56problem in the long run and they don't
  428. 13:58like anything, it's better here." Then
  429. 14:00they come back, but they are left
  430. 14:01wanting more.
  431. 14:02They are left wanting more. Besides, if
  432. 14:04that person, if you have already
  433. 14:05realized that you don't do well with
  434. 14:06them at all, it's bad publicity because
  435. 14:08they are going to go and say, "Oh, this
  436. 14:09happened to me," blah blah blah. "And
  437. 14:12that's a lie because they come back
  438. 14:14because they come back, you don't say
  439. 14:16no,
  440. 14:17but if you have a little
  441. 14:19mark on my, on my cell phone, on your
  442. 14:20cell phone, don't answer here, don't
  443. 14:22answer, or that I don't have a date, I
  444. 14:24always answer them, but that you know
  445. 14:25what, I never have a date. Listen,
  446. 14:29we're starting with the hard gossip,
  447. 14:31but for those who don't know, because
  448. 14:33this term of stylist is perhaps more
  449. 14:36for the kids than for the older
  450. 14:37generations. Hey, yes, because then
  451. 14:41they always asked me if I paint hair,
  452. 14:43if I do nails, that I don't paint hair,
  453. 14:45I don't do nails, I'm not going to sew
  454. 14:48your clothes, or I'm not going to rent
  455. 14:50you my clothes, just like that.
  456. 14:53The term of styles, well, it started
  457. 14:55with people who paint or fix hair, but
  458. 14:56it's already migrated to people who are
  459. 14:58image consultants, right? That's the
  460. 15:01word.
  461. 15:01Yes. Ah, well then I do them and I
  462. 15:04emphasize them. And here we tell you
  463. 15:06what a stylist does and doesn't do.
  464. 15:10Maybe for The older generations, as I
  465. 15:12tell them, who are not aware that, ah,
  466. 15:14a single outfit and they tell you, like
  467. 15:16, a single what? I mean, a single
  468. 15:19outfit, two outfits, the package, the
  469. 15:21stylist doesn't include it, but then
  470. 15:22you as a photographer tell them," Hey,
  471. 15:24what do you include in your package?
  472. 15:26Here come the clothes. "I mean, no,
  473. 15:29that's the job, the stylist's work. Yes
  474. 15:32. What does a stylist do? They're an
  475. 15:33image consultant. They help you
  476. 15:35conceptualize what you're going to do
  477. 15:36in the session, get dressed, put
  478. 15:37together the looks. And you also have
  479. 15:40looks, which I always tell people, if
  480. 15:41you have a really bad suit or maybe I
  481. 15:42have, you know what? All these branded
  482. 15:45things that I don't even know how to
  483. 15:46use, you have to style them, that's the
  484. 15:48word, make them work in a way that
  485. 15:49works for my photos or for everyday
  486. 15:51life too, right? That's what a stylist
  487. 15:53does, they do it...The term started
  488. 15:55with artists, because they were the
  489. 15:57ones who conceptualized the image of,
  490. 15:58well, how Britney looked or how we
  491. 16:00define the 2000s era; it's because
  492. 16:02there was someone, this, how she looked
  493. 16:07or how Duel looks, how Lady Gaga looks,
  494. 16:09how all the divas look and how men look
  495. 16:11too, right? Everything is thought out,
  496. 16:14right? And I liked doing it, well,
  497. 16:17Bringing it down to earth with photos
  498. 16:19of normal people, so that everyone in
  499. 16:21their photos feels like an artist, a
  500. 16:22diva, an artist, and even more so here
  501. 16:24in Culiacán, where we love the show,
  502. 16:27the cool, the glitter, the extravagance
  503. 16:30,
  504. 16:31everything extravagant, where lately
  505. 16:32we've been very calm, but we're still
  506. 16:34looking for shorts.
  507. 16:35Yes, lately I feel like the trends
  508. 16:38right now are like everything a little
  509. 16:40less. Culiacán was a little more, I
  510. 16:45mean, Culiacán always more is more and
  511. 16:47it also had its golden age which was
  512. 16:49like a trend towards the bochona wave,
  513. 16:51all the glitter, the nail polish or ah,
  514. 16:54that's very Culiacán, I love that. I
  515. 16:57love it when that's very Culiacán.
  516. 16:59Of course, I mean, no, that also
  517. 17:00happens a lot with fashion, right?
  518. 17:02Because if you don't like it, what can
  519. 17:04I say if it's good or bad, no. Fashion
  520. 17:06goes
  521. 17:07beyond that. In fact, when I upload
  522. 17:09outfits I tell them, I don't like those
  523. 17:10pants. Dude, I didn't ask you, I'm
  524. 17:12telling you that it's being used. I
  525. 17:14don't like it, dude. Well, don't wear
  526. 17:16it. That's what fashion is for, to
  527. 17:18create diversity.
  528. 17:19Fashion suits those who like it, you
  529. 17:20can express yourself. And yes, right
  530. 17:22now, trends go hand in hand with what's
  531. 17:25happening in the world. What's
  532. 17:27happening in the world? Crisis, um, war
  533. 17:30, instability, sorry. We're coming out
  534. 17:34of a pandemic that seems like yesterday
  535. 17:35and it was 6 years ago. So, what's
  536. 17:37happening with fashion? Well, you don't
  537. 17:39wear glitter anymore, you don't wear
  538. 17:41those heels with feathers anymore,
  539. 17:43because right now everything is more
  540. 17:44about being more stable and that also
  541. 17:46goes with what you wear on your head,
  542. 17:49right? So, that's why women are simpler
  543. 17:52, calmer now, they also want us to go a
  544. 17:54little unnoticed, but since we
  545. 17:57stopped wearing heels, the ladies...Oh,
  546. 17:59yeah, you ladies. Let's
  547. 18:02see, you don't wear high heels, boots
  548. 18:04and...Like that, but it's so famous
  549. 18:09that we used to go
  550. 18:12to the club, to the little bar, to the
  551. 18:14restaurant, to the piñata and we would
  552. 18:16go in heels. Now it seems to us that
  553. 18:18it's completely irrelevant. Sure, it's
  554. 18:22a trend. In fact, there's a theory out
  555. 18:25there that says that it has a lot to do
  556. 18:26with how the world is, how it uses
  557. 18:28skirts and heels. And when we wear them
  558. 18:31closer to the ground, they want us
  559. 18:32calmer, more relaxed, more everything,
  560. 18:34given what happens in the world, right?
  561. 18:36It is when a revolution is desired that
  562. 18:38women step up onto their platforms,
  563. 18:40that they step up onto their high heels
  564. 18:42. So that's also why I'm telling you,
  565. 18:45because fashion has many very
  566. 18:47interesting things, not only that get
  567. 18:49ready with me, let's do this Shane
  568. 18:51thing. I mean, no, everything has a
  569. 18:54reason, right? Why do we dress. What do
  570. 18:56you think of get ready with me? Oh, how
  571. 18:58awful.
  572. 18:59Hey, I was dying of laughter just now
  573. 19:00at the World Cup.
  574. 19:01Always, look how always. They ask me
  575. 19:02for it on my social media, but I mean,
  576. 19:04I always wear the same thing because I
  577. 19:06don't know what I like, what suits me,
  578. 19:07what doesn't. And well, they record
  579. 19:09that I bought all this from Sara, I'm
  580. 19:11going to wear it. They end up returning
  581. 19:13it. It doesn't suit their personality
  582. 19:15at all; it just doesn't. One day
  583. 19:16they're sirens, another day they're
  584. 19:18clean look, another day they're Harley
  585. 19:20Bieber. Oh man, that's why I was
  586. 19:22shocked because they don't have a style
  587. 19:24and it's very important to have a style
  588. 19:26where they say," That's too expensive,
  589. 19:28my bar, that's
  590. 19:29too bright for girls "and you don't see
  591. 19:31those people who say, oh that's too, I
  592. 19:33was going to say an influencer, but I
  593. 19:34better not say it, that's too her, no
  594. 19:36because they're always wearing what's
  595. 19:38trendy, trendy, trendy, trendy, they're
  596. 19:39like a catalog. I see it as a catalog.
  597. 19:42I don't like them for that reason, but
  598. 19:44I do see them
  599. 19:45because I'm always looking for clothes,
  600. 19:47I liked that. Oh, now I know where it
  601. 19:49is. I'm going to look for it, I'm going
  602. 19:51to buy it to have in my styling closet.
  603. 19:52Yeah, it's not something that, if you
  604. 19:54see it represented in an image, you'd
  605. 19:55say:" Oh, that was made by such and
  606. 19:56such influencer. "Is it her look or is
  607. 19:59it a look that she would wear, because
  608. 20:00they have everything very...is she from
  609. 20:02the archetypes? For example, she's on
  610. 20:05the red carpet in Sendaya, a get ready
  611. 20:06with me with her, we already know what
  612. 20:08style she has; she has a really badass
  613. 20:09stylist. Sure, I'm interested in that
  614. 20:11one, but I don't care about the one in
  615. 20:13Monterrey, I mean, and they send them
  616. 20:14to me as if it were, dude, they don't
  617. 20:17send you ideas, as if they were ideas,
  618. 20:18dude, no, I mean, and in fact there are
  619. 20:19things that I already bought, I already
  620. 20:21bought.
  621. 20:22For that, yes, I'm very observant,
  622. 20:24observant. So, if I go to a store, I
  623. 20:27can tell you before the people who work
  624. 20:28at Sara, where is it? I feel like
  625. 20:35hiring a stylist when it's something I
  626. 20:38don't have in my closet. Sure.
  627. 20:41I wouldn't normally wear it, but I like
  628. 20:43it, it's something I want, but I won't
  629. 20:46go to an event with something like that
  630. 20:48. You're
  631. 20:48not going to invest in that either. I
  632. 20:50mean, for example, we're talking about
  633. 20:52these stuffed animals, these stuffed
  634. 20:54animals that are very trendy. It's
  635. 20:56something that you're always going to
  636. 20:57wear, but you're not going to buy it.
  637. 20:58Why would you buy it?
  638. 20:59Yeah, because you're not dating him. I
  639. 21:02was even traveling recently and my
  640. 21:03assistant told me to bring me some
  641. 21:05stuffed animals like that. I told her,"
  642. 21:08Man, I mean, no, how am I going to
  643. 21:10carry suitcases all over the streets
  644. 21:11with these stuffed animals and how am I
  645. 21:13going to get to the tower? "I said and
  646. 21:15I'll lend it to you. I'll lend it to
  647. 21:18you, I'll rent it. No, I did know that
  648. 21:21you would lend them to me, but I mean,
  649. 21:22it wasn't, I mean, it would have been
  650. 21:23really cool to take a photo, maybe at
  651. 21:25the Tour de Paris with an outfit that I
  652. 21:26had asked you to put together,
  653. 21:29for example, that's what they talk to
  654. 21:30me about, they talk to me a lot and I
  655. 21:32barely think I'm going to launch it,
  656. 21:33but I'm going to launch this little
  657. 21:35project of making looks for her for her
  658. 21:36trips. But they ask me about this a lot
  659. 21:38and I tell them, if you're going to
  660. 21:40travel you have to take clothes, cables
  661. 21:42, but you have to be practical. Why?
  662. 21:45Because the photo, gey photo, I mean,
  663. 21:46there you don't see how in New York I
  664. 21:48had to see some influencers who brought
  665. 21:50a big suitcase and changed right there,
  666. 21:52but that's what they were going for.
  667. 21:55How annoying that you miss all that for
  668. 21:56a photo. That's going to make you look
  669. 21:58better in your daily life. Why? Because
  670. 22:01you can be all messed up with the coat
  671. 22:03and be telling me," Wow, did you see?
  672. 22:05Look, no. "I mean, tell me what you saw
  673. 22:08in Pisa, what happened in Rome. I mean,
  674. 22:11that gives you, like, I don't know what
  675. 22:13. A story you learned. I didn't care
  676. 22:15about the look and the photo this time.
  677. 22:17And the photo. You can take a really
  678. 22:19cool souvenir photo, take two or three
  679. 22:21looks with you, but there are people
  680. 22:23who want the whole trip to be theirs
  681. 22:25and suffer the whole trip because
  682. 22:26they're thinking," I won't make it to
  683. 22:28the hotel to change. "Sometimes you
  684. 22:30make it and then you go to the hotel
  685. 22:32with Alex Rivera, who I love with Alex
  686. 22:34because Alex travels a lot. New York is
  687. 22:38great. I had to take the looks with me,
  688. 22:40obviously. They would have seen me
  689. 22:42carrying my suitcase. If you go out and
  690. 22:44travel, you can't walk. Oh, I'll call
  691. 22:47an Uber because it's expensive, right?
  692. 22:49But it says that some people have one,
  693. 22:52but you lose a ton of time getting
  694. 22:54there. So, you have to walk with that.
  695. 22:56Now, imagine yourself on a trip in
  696. 22:57Europe,
  697. 22:57on the train. For me, a suitcase tire
  698. 23:00would break, and I'd be screwed.
  699. 23:02Yeah, it's not impossible. So, there's
  700. 23:04also that illusion that influencers
  701. 23:06give off that we're going to go and
  702. 23:07take a photo every time we go out. It's
  703. 23:10a lie. There are people who do that,
  704. 23:12but when you travel, travel to improve
  705. 23:15your style. And besides, if you want
  706. 23:18style, you don't need to take 50,000;
  707. 23:19you'll look great with whatever you
  708. 23:21wear, invest in it. I always say:
  709. 23:23accessories, something that identifies
  710. 23:25you, get ready, make sure you look
  711. 23:26clean. I mean, then a bad fall and
  712. 23:28there they are in their pajamas or
  713. 23:30doing yoga.
  714. 23:31Without showering for three days, no
  715. 23:32way. I mean, even if they bring yoga,
  716. 23:34lululemon or whatever they have. So,
  717. 23:37the best thing is that if they want
  718. 23:38photos, I think, ah, okay, I'm going to
  719. 23:39take the photo, I'm going to one place,
  720. 23:40there's no way to go to take the photo.
  721. 23:43If you're going to take a photo,
  722. 23:44pay for a trip to take a photo.
  723. 23:45Yes, I think so. Yeah. I think that's
  724. 23:48actually the ideal thing, to pay for a
  725. 23:50special trip and go for special photos.
  726. 23:53There are so many photos. I have also
  727. 23:54seen that trend with younger kids,
  728. 23:56where their travel photos no longer
  729. 23:57need to be quite so perfect anymore. I
  730. 23:59mean, if you take your gloss with you,
  731. 24:01it also looks super cool when you're
  732. 24:03blurry. And the great look, well, who's
  733. 24:05going to see your great look? I'm not
  734. 24:07interested in seeing your great look,
  735. 24:09I'm interested in seeing Shakira's,
  736. 24:11Dualipa's, and on their honeymoon, but
  737. 24:13not yours.
  738. 24:16No, no, no, no. I mean, if it's from
  739. 24:18influencers, well, they always wear the
  740. 24:19same thing, you go down to see what
  741. 24:20they wore on that trip and that's where
  742. 24:22you can get inspired too. That's why
  743. 24:24I'm telling you, the trend right now is
  744. 24:27not to be so posed, to be
  745. 24:29more relaxed,
  746. 24:30more relaxed, but in a photo, which is
  747. 24:32what I like to do the most, that's
  748. 24:34where the fantasy comes in. You want to
  749. 24:36be cool, you can do anything because
  750. 24:38the photo is a fantasy. Of course.
  751. 24:40And one's job is to make that fantasy
  752. 24:42flow, to make it look good and for them
  753. 24:43to say," Oh, how cool, you look like a
  754. 24:45princess. "" Oh, how cool, you look,
  755. 24:47you look great. "Yes, because a style
  756. 24:49can also be the thing that builds you
  757. 24:52or breaks you. So, you have to be very
  758. 24:55careful when choosing your style. And
  759. 24:57especially now, let's talk about brides
  760. 25:00, weddings, which is super important
  761. 25:02and sometimes people don't think that
  762. 25:05having styles is something basic.
  763. 25:07Yes, I love working with brides because
  764. 25:09most of the ones who hire me are very
  765. 25:12bright. I don't know anything about
  766. 25:13fashion. I work all day, but I want
  767. 25:15something pretty for my session and a
  768. 25:17little more elevated than what I wear
  769. 25:19every day, right?
  770. 25:21Those brides who want me to dress them
  771. 25:22up as baseball players for the tomato
  772. 25:23growers don't hire me because I've
  773. 25:25already asked them to. But you're going
  774. 25:28to wear that all season. Why do you
  775. 25:29want to look like that? Better a cool
  776. 25:31dress to look like a total [ __ ],
  777. 25:33expensive, and your husband looks
  778. 25:34expensive, no? They arrive with a
  779. 25:37guarachón or with the...
  780. 25:39Your thing is glamor. The glamor
  781. 25:41of who? Of a very handsome but very
  782. 25:44eccentric boyfriend who arrived with a
  783. 25:46lot of brand-name stuff, but in very
  784. 25:47bad taste, very bad taste. And I did
  785. 25:50that
  786. 25:50so I told him no. I
  787. 25:53told him, you know, I don't know, I
  788. 25:55mean, he laughed because it was very...
  789. 25:57We were already getting along and I
  790. 25:59told him, dude, I mean, this is
  791. 26:00Cristian, the booty is horrible. Don't
  792. 26:04those sneakers you're wearing on the
  793. 26:06clock look better on you than all this?
  794. 26:09I was very disappointed after seeing
  795. 26:11all his investment wasted. I mean, most
  796. 26:14people want to look good and others
  797. 26:15want to get crazy saying," Oh, I'm
  798. 26:17going to cut my hair for a new look, "
  799. 26:18and I also don't recommend that when
  800. 26:20it's a photoshoot because you're not
  801. 26:21going to feel like yourself,
  802. 26:23right? And then you'll look at the
  803. 26:24photos and say," What did I do? "
  804. 26:25Say," What did I do? "Exactly. That's
  805. 26:27what a stylist is for. Aside from
  806. 26:29taking your clothes, you know what?
  807. 26:32Look, if you like to have your hair cut
  808. 26:34like this, leave it because it's you,
  809. 26:35or you know, how many ugly nails have
  810. 26:37you seen that you've had to edit? You
  811. 26:39have to fix them.
  812. 26:41So, I always say, roots, nails, this,
  813. 26:43that, once you have everything ready,
  814. 26:44such as your nails, your personal
  815. 26:46hygiene, for men, your beard, cutting
  816. 26:48your nails, your teeth, I don't know,
  817. 26:49any little detail, then we'll go to
  818. 26:51your clothes,
  819. 26:53start with your person, that's
  820. 26:54the easiest thing to do. And with
  821. 26:56brides and grooms, that's what it's all
  822. 26:57about: making sure they look good, that
  823. 26:59they look expensive, that they look
  824. 27:00elegant, and that they have great
  825. 27:02photos that will last a lifetime. Those
  826. 27:03photos will stay with them, right? On
  827. 27:05the contrary,
  828. 27:07sometimes they don't want to invest in
  829. 27:09stylists and want to leave all the work
  830. 27:11to us photographers. They think that
  831. 27:13we're going to do a fabulous job with
  832. 27:16whatever clothes they come in. Of
  833. 27:18course, it has a lot to do with the
  834. 27:20styling work. Why? Because you can tell
  835. 27:23me," I want this spot. But obviously
  836. 27:27this spot has to be done with shades of
  837. 27:29clothing that suit her or that one
  838. 27:31color suits her and the other clashes
  839. 27:33and the two colors clash, and forget
  840. 27:35about it.
  841. 27:37It doesn't mean that you look bad. I
  842. 27:39always say, it doesn't mean that the
  843. 27:40photo doesn't look harmonious when
  844. 27:42combined, and you'll say, "Oh, why
  845. 27:43doesn't my photo look like theirs?"
  846. 27:46It's because of what you wore, the
  847. 27:47color you used, where you wanted to
  848. 27:48wear it. Sometimes they want to wear
  849. 27:50heels in the ocean. I've done endless
  850. 27:52sessions of couples in the ocean and I
  851. 27:54tell them, "Hey, there are flies,
  852. 27:56you're going to get wet, this, that, ah
  853. 27:57, I'm pulling." If you pull, I'm
  854. 27:59pulling. And the point of that session
  855. 28:01is that you know that you have to wear
  856. 28:03clothes that, well, too bad, look dirty
  857. 28:04and then they say, "Oh, why isn't that
  858. 28:06photo in?" And it's because of all
  859. 28:08these types of details that have to be
  860. 28:10taken care of,
  861. 28:10because low-fit does matter. And then,
  862. 28:13apart from that, for us as
  863. 28:15photographers, the work of the stylist,
  864. 28:17apart from that, greatly improves the
  865. 28:19photo. Why? Because of what I tell them
  866. 28:22, because when they arrive, if they
  867. 28:24don't bring stylists, I tell them, "Hey
  868. 28:27, that look you're wearing goes better
  869. 28:29with this setting or that setting. So,
  870. 28:31I do help them a little bit when they
  871. 28:33don't bring a stylist."
  872. 28:34Yes, of course. In fact, as
  873. 28:35photographers, there are some who tell
  874. 28:36me, "Oh, no, I don't know anything,
  875. 28:37help me." Or what can I do? Because you
  876. 28:40also have so much work and sometimes
  877. 28:41you can't figure it out, right? Like me
  878. 28:44, sometimes they come to me and say, "
  879. 28:45Oh, what do you recommend?" And I don't
  880. 28:47know you, I don't know how to recommend
  881. 28:49you. Wait,
  882. 28:50let me talk. I see everything. Now that
  883. 28:53I know you, I can recommend you. It's
  884. 28:54the same with what you recommend. All
  885. 28:56that takes time and that's also why you
  886. 28:58pay. Of course. No.
  887. 29:00And many times they say, "Oh, no, right
  888. 29:02now that's so fashionable because of
  889. 29:03the chain, because of the sales,
  890. 29:05because it's summer and obviously
  891. 29:06because of the economy. I'd rather buy
  892. 29:08the clothes that way I'll keep them."
  893. 29:10They don't wear them. That's a lie.
  894. 29:12They don't wear them. And I tell them
  895. 29:13you
  896. 29:13end up spending more.
  897. 29:14You spend more. Why? Take a look. If
  898. 29:17it's two looks. Two looks is the
  899. 29:19complete outfit. Two pairs of shoes,
  900. 29:22two earrings, two necklaces, makeup,
  901. 29:23someone to touch up your hair, someone
  902. 29:25to take care of those details.
  903. 29:27Especially if you wear a certain type
  904. 29:29of clothing. There are details that we
  905. 29:32have in the styles, such as coats,
  906. 29:33capes, stoles, things that we have made
  907. 29:35, that we take off and put on, and that
  908. 29:37make any little thing that you wear
  909. 29:38look good for a photoshoot. So, if
  910. 29:40you're going to wear something that you
  911. 29:42wear every day, take them with your
  912. 29:43cell phone. Your stylist is also
  913. 29:44sometimes in contact with your makeup
  914. 29:46artist. If you take the package with
  915. 29:48your makeup artist, she has already
  916. 29:49spoken to your makeup artist. I'm going
  917. 29:51to put this on. I need an updo, I need
  918. 29:54some waves so that I can put them back
  919. 29:56later or I need to blow dry, I need, in
  920. 29:58other words, your look, your makeup,
  921. 30:00and
  922. 30:01now that it's really hot, I tell you,
  923. 30:03bring that one that I buy and I don't
  924. 30:04know what, and then the clothes are
  925. 30:06finished. It works. Like, "Oh, I'm
  926. 30:08going to get my makeup done and all,"
  927. 30:10but you bring no one to assist or do
  928. 30:11your touch-ups; that's how they arrive
  929. 30:13at the session.
  930. 30:13They arrive at the session carrying
  931. 30:15suitcases, unloading things from the
  932. 30:17car, saying, "Wait, I forgot this, I
  933. 30:19left this outside, I don't know where
  934. 30:21this is." I mean, they're already very
  935. 30:23stressed out by the time they get to
  936. 30:25the session, it's already here.
  937. 30:26Their job is to solve problems. If a
  938. 30:28stylist fails you, it isn't the reverse
  939. 30:30. If they don't solve your problems,
  940. 30:32bye. And of course, that can be
  941. 30:33discussed too. There are things that I
  942. 30:35can't solve because I don't know how to
  943. 30:37do them, or I'm not going to do them
  944. 30:39because your photographer has to do it
  945. 30:41or whatever; that can be discussed. But
  946. 30:44if not, misunderstandings often arise,
  947. 30:46and that's when the client, like, ask,
  948. 30:48come over. And the truth is, if you
  949. 30:52hire a stylist and a photographer you
  950. 30:54trust, you'll spend the entire session,
  951. 30:57like, bubble gum, at ease, you'll have
  952. 30:59fun and you'll let them pamper you.
  953. 31:03They'll tell you, "Sit down, they'll
  954. 31:04take off your shoe, put on another one,
  955. 31:06they'll adjust your dress, if the dress
  956. 31:07is too big, they'll adjust it for you;
  957. 31:09in other words, they'll totally pamper
  958. 31:10you on the day of your photos.
  959. 31:12Especially in a wedding session it's
  960. 31:14very important because it's not the
  961. 31:16same to deal with one person than with
  962. 31:18two. As a bride, you have in your head
  963. 31:19what you're going to wear, your look
  964. 31:21and everything, and men never decide on
  965. 31:23their look, what they're going to wear.
  966. 31:25So,
  967. 31:25they end up fighting about this. The
  968. 31:29man also doesn't make me laugh and they
  969. 31:31don't take care of him. Really, really
  970. 31:33bad, and God forbid. And if you worried
  971. 31:36about the man also coming handsome, you
  972. 31:37come with the burden of" I forgot this
  973. 31:39about him "or" I forgot this about me "
  974. 31:41because you come with the burden of two
  975. 31:42people. Otherwise, you hire your
  976. 31:45stylist, you arrive fresh, combed, even
  977. 31:47in your pajamas if you want to arrive
  978. 31:50without" I forgot. "If you want to
  979. 31:53bring your watch, your personal items,
  980. 31:55little things that you should bring
  981. 31:56because you are a couple, but you bring
  982. 31:58the rest at your leisure.
  983. 32:00We have fun with the only thing I
  984. 32:02always tell them, the only thing we
  985. 32:03can't do anything about is the heat,
  986. 32:04but if you put in the effort,
  987. 32:06everything flows
  988. 32:06or if you come to Vinal's, everything
  989. 32:09flows because obviously here in his
  990. 32:12dressing room, we have his entire
  991. 32:15bathroom here, we have everything. You
  992. 32:16had to put the prize there, right? You
  993. 32:18knew
  994. 32:19we had to score a goal with Vinal. Of
  995. 32:21course. Hey, yes, because it was urgent
  996. 32:23to have a new space here in Culiacán.
  997. 32:25It was
  998. 32:25urgent to give it versatility.
  999. 32:27Yes, because here we like the same
  1000. 32:28thing, the same thing, the same thing.
  1001. 32:30But
  1002. 32:30not anymore. Here we are going to be
  1003. 32:32renewing, renewing so that later they
  1004. 32:34don't say," Oh, no, Abinalu again,
  1005. 32:36Avinalú again. "No, no, no. Here we
  1006. 32:38are going to be renewing.
  1007. 32:39The careen doesn't stop. This woman
  1008. 32:40wants to do a podcast, she doesn't want
  1009. 32:41to jump out of the helicopter, she went
  1010. 32:42to Rome, she came back and
  1011. 32:44tomorrow we are going to jump out of
  1012. 32:45the parachute.
  1013. 32:45Tomorrow she feels like it, Pilates. So
  1014. 32:47, the woman doesn't stop.
  1015. 32:48Yes, it's not ideal. I think I don't
  1016. 32:51stop, like being on trend, always
  1017. 32:53looking for something to do, like you
  1018. 32:55too, who spends time checking how many
  1019. 32:57times a week you go to the stores.
  1020. 32:59Oh, enough.
  1021. 33:01Enough. Every time I go I find you
  1022. 33:03there, so don't tell me. You're also
  1023. 33:05there all the time. I've been a
  1024. 33:06compulsive shopper since I was born.
  1025. 33:07That has nothing to do with my
  1026. 33:09profession, right? So I always go that
  1027. 33:11way, but I really like going. Sometimes
  1028. 33:14I don't go shopping. I'll go see if the
  1029. 33:16videos are being recorded, what's being
  1030. 33:18used, why it's being used, and things
  1031. 33:21that I like for the shoot. Right now,
  1032. 33:23as I said, the trend with Stylis is
  1033. 33:25almost always to order, not custom-made
  1034. 33:27, but different things and garments.
  1035. 33:28Why? Because fashion is very quiet in
  1036. 33:31stores and it's summer, all fashion is
  1037. 33:33very light, relaxed, so these are
  1038. 33:35things that I don't use for the shoot.
  1039. 33:37Bring back the wow factor or something
  1040. 33:39that says," Oh, that's cool, I'm going
  1041. 33:40to style it like this. You're making me
  1042. 33:41all heated up. You're making me all
  1043. 33:43heated up with all the gossip. We're
  1044. 33:44behind the scenes. The gossip got even
  1045. 33:48better behind the scenes. There are
  1046. 33:50things we can't talk about. Well, yes,
  1047. 33:51we can, but without names.
  1048. 33:53Luz is going to tell you why we're
  1049. 33:55talking. Obviously, there are people we
  1050. 33:58like working with more and there are
  1051. 33:59people we like working with less. There
  1052. 34:02are some who go overboard. There are
  1053. 34:05photographers who go overboard. I mean,
  1054. 34:06they take 3 hours or they tell me, "I
  1055. 34:08take an hour per look." Doing what? I
  1056. 34:11don't take an hour changing them. Or
  1057. 34:13when it takes me a little while, it's
  1058. 34:15like, "Hey, I'm going to take a long
  1059. 34:16time because I'm going to put on the
  1060. 34:17stockings and they take an hour with a
  1061. 34:18look." But as a photographer, you agree
  1062. 34:20that you can't depend so much on your
  1063. 34:22time, right? And if the client doesn't
  1064. 34:24give it, there are girls who put in the
  1065. 34:26effort, others who don't give it, it's
  1066. 34:27like everything else, you can't give it
  1067. 34:28to them, right? And you have to help
  1068. 34:31them, but in heels, with the lights, in
  1069. 34:34the heat,
  1070. 34:35right? If you see that one isn't
  1071. 34:36working for you, discard it and do
  1072. 34:37another one and you have to find
  1073. 34:39someone who sticks with it and sticks
  1074. 34:40with it and, well, add to that, there
  1075. 34:42are several factors, right? A session
  1076. 34:44that can drive you crazy, which drives
  1077. 34:45me crazy. One is time, right? I know
  1078. 34:48that there are photographers who take
  1079. 34:49longer than others, there are styles
  1080. 34:50that take longer than others, you know
  1081. 34:52that, but since they're going overboard
  1082. 34:53, you say, hey, what if you
  1083. 34:55have another event scheduled that you
  1084. 34:56don't have your time. Of course, don't
  1085. 34:58fall in love, right? And there are
  1086. 34:59photographers who seem to do it on
  1087. 35:01purpose, like, oh no, I'm not That's
  1088. 35:03how I work.
  1089. 35:04Oh, look,
  1090. 35:06I love it when people come to me and
  1091. 35:08give me fresh ideas too, and tell me, "
  1092. 35:10Karen, what if you're thinking of doing
  1093. 35:12this look here? It would look cooler
  1094. 35:14here." Yes, you're right.
  1095. 35:15There are photographers that you can't
  1096. 35:17tell anything to, that you can't
  1097. 35:19interfere with. At first, I had to work
  1098. 35:21with two.
  1099. 35:22There was a man who was hateful,
  1100. 35:24hateful, hateful, hateful, hateful.
  1101. 35:26He's not so new anymore. He's old, he's
  1102. 35:29old. I don't have to work with him
  1103. 35:30anymore. Thank God. That man thought, I
  1104. 35:34don't know, Mario Testino, that he knew
  1105. 35:37who this guy from Bog was, that I would
  1106. 35:39say, "Hey, girl, I'm going to tell you
  1107. 35:42what to do." But it was so rude that I
  1108. 35:46didn't say, "Oh, well, screw my mother,
  1109. 35:53let her do whatever she wants." It's
  1110. 35:55also when you say, "Hey, I'm not going
  1111. 35:57to interfere and hurt her." I mean, I'm
  1112. 36:00explaining what's happening to me. And
  1113. 36:02sometimes even the client would notice
  1114. 36:04and it was like, "Oh no, the
  1115. 36:05photographer told me this, but I didn't
  1116. 36:06want that. I
  1117. 36:09can't do anything right there." No. And
  1118. 36:10another factor that also affects my
  1119. 36:12feelings in the sessions is that there
  1120. 36:14are also mothers who don't behave,
  1121. 36:16right? They're like, "Put your hair up,
  1122. 36:20Luz, your hair, your hair." And you're
  1123. 36:23like, "
  1124. 36:23No, you're taking the picture from that
  1125. 36:25angle and you can see the girl's leg
  1126. 36:26here." Luz, her leg doesn't go like
  1127. 36:28that. The glove usually goes on, right?
  1128. 36:30And you obviously already know what to
  1129. 36:32do, but many times you're not at the
  1130. 36:33same angle and I always tell them, "
  1131. 36:35Look, if you're on that side, don't
  1132. 36:37worry, I'll take it from here." But
  1133. 36:38there are intense mothers, right? That
  1134. 36:40the girl's leg is going to show through
  1135. 36:44her panties and you, uh, shut up. If
  1136. 36:48you come to the photoshoots, you see
  1137. 36:50and trust the work of the great team
  1138. 36:53they bring. Relax, you see, they are
  1139. 36:56intense and I like the tangles, start
  1140. 36:58making conversation so that they let
  1141. 37:00the photographer work. There, the
  1142. 37:02photographer, well, I tell him, "You
  1143. 37:03know what? Tell me about the hair,
  1144. 37:05something, anything, I'll entertain her
  1145. 37:07because sometimes they don't let you
  1146. 37:08work. I've had to be on top of the
  1147. 37:10photographer and the light and...Show
  1148. 37:12me the photo. Show me." That's why I
  1149. 37:15don't
  1150. 37:16use the screen to do the test test
  1151. 37:18anymore because I bought it and had it
  1152. 37:19for a while and it was just to see the
  1153. 37:21photo, I don't know what, and I didn't
  1154. 37:23discard this screen; I took it home for
  1155. 37:25the cameras at home. That's why, for
  1156. 37:28example, it's often done in fashion
  1157. 37:29photoshoots, right? Where the model
  1158. 37:31isn't going to get involved and only
  1159. 37:33the stylist, the creative director,
  1160. 37:34those kinds of people are going to give
  1161. 37:36their opinion, but here, when everyone
  1162. 37:38wants to give their opinion, no, no,
  1163. 37:40it's not a factor that makes me feel
  1164. 37:42like a jerk. I've never, it's very rare
  1165. 37:44, I don't think I've ever fought with a
  1166. 37:46client, but I have been clear, let's
  1167. 37:48see, clear. I need to know. What do
  1168. 37:50they need, what do they want, because
  1169. 37:51if not, we can't move forward and they
  1170. 37:53calm down, but it's extreme, right? I
  1171. 37:55had one time where the girl didn't like
  1172. 37:57anything. I brought everything you
  1173. 37:59asked me to, everything. I mean, I did
  1174. 38:02a whole room of this apartment with all
  1175. 38:04the looks as she had sent them to me
  1176. 38:06and it was like, well, this one, but
  1177. 38:08also this one, but I'd rather try that
  1178. 38:10one on and I, I mean, that can't be
  1179. 38:12done in terms of time, guys. Why?
  1180. 38:15You waste the photographer's time, I
  1181. 38:16waste my time. You have to trust what
  1182. 38:18they bring you, they bring it to your
  1183. 38:19measurements. Well, if you want to do
  1184. 38:21that, it's also more expensive, right?
  1185. 38:23You can book an appointment in advance,
  1186. 38:25an appointment as well. Trying on
  1187. 38:27clothes doesn't work so much when
  1188. 38:28you're going to do a photoshoot,
  1189. 38:29because the point is to do it quickly,
  1190. 38:31if you're looking at the clothes,
  1191. 38:32you're looking at yourself, you're not
  1192. 38:33going to buy them, someone is going to
  1193. 38:35fit them, they're going to make them
  1194. 38:36look cool. So, that also makes the job
  1195. 38:39not work. flow. Why? Because what you
  1196. 38:41do is they don't trust your time,
  1197. 38:43they have to trust your process, what
  1198. 38:44they like and you don't make them flow,
  1199. 38:45right? Why? Because the photographer is
  1200. 38:47already there, already there. And you,
  1201. 38:48well, no, the girl wants to try
  1202. 38:50everything on, what do we do? I mean,
  1203. 38:52it's very different working with an
  1204. 38:53artist or someone like that who you've
  1205. 38:55already asked me to and I rudely
  1206. 38:56refused. Okay, it will be, it will be.
  1207. 38:58Uh, I refused because they're regional
  1208. 39:00Mexican, not to mention a band. I
  1209. 39:02refused because of the time it would
  1210. 39:04take, but he'll come back to me and
  1211. 39:06we'll dress him. We'll dress him
  1212. 39:07because he's a man.
  1213. 39:08Oh, well, they do let you, well. No,
  1214. 39:10well, they don't. And when it's an
  1215. 39:12artist, of course, you have to do a
  1216. 39:14fitting or a test. Why? Because it's
  1217. 39:16for a stage, for a photo shoot, and
  1218. 39:17they don't even try on more than a few
  1219. 39:19things, right? But if it's for the
  1220. 39:21stage, it's a different performance,
  1221. 39:22but yes, there's not a lot of funny
  1222. 39:23anecdotes between them. Photographers,
  1223. 39:26stylists, that's why it's so important
  1224. 39:28to work as a team, because you can
  1225. 39:30quickly control those kinds of little
  1226. 39:31details or they can lead to a client
  1227. 39:33play-acting. Nobody wants that to
  1228. 39:35happen. Nobody, we all think that the
  1229. 39:36client is going to be happy. Yes. No,
  1230. 39:38no, no.
  1231. 39:38The good thing is that I don't have to
  1232. 39:40deal with that. So, I'm happy and
  1233. 39:41content with the stylists. Oh, okay,
  1234. 39:44now I do. Vinal,
  1235. 39:46when photographers arrive, you also say
  1236. 39:48, "What's going on?"
  1237. 39:50But I know that I'm not here, that my
  1238. 39:51assistant is mostly here because I
  1239. 39:53don't want them to feel watched or
  1240. 39:55judged, that Karen is watching me take
  1241. 39:57this photo for her to take it. Yes, I
  1242. 39:59want them to arrive and feel that this
  1243. 40:01is their studio and that they're free
  1244. 40:02to go up, down, do whatever they want,
  1245. 40:04put the lamp wherever they want without
  1246. 40:06anyone judging them. I mean, then I'd
  1247. 40:08be happy to, if you'd excuse me, they
  1248. 40:10can stay at home.
  1249. 40:11Yes, yes, yes. So, no, I want my
  1250. 40:13assistant to give them all the
  1251. 40:14attention. that they need.
  1252. 40:16Yes. No, that's because there's a crowd
  1253. 40:17at the session.
  1254. 40:18Oh, that too.
  1255. 40:19No, no,
  1256. 40:20no. And it stresses them out too. I'm
  1257. 40:22feeling
  1258. 40:22hot again.
  1259. 40:23The person who's modeling also gets
  1260. 40:24stressed out. Why? Because many people
  1261. 40:26are watching, it doesn't flow the same.
  1262. 40:28It doesn't flow the same. It's better.
  1263. 40:30No, but if most of them are watching
  1264. 40:32and there's a scandal and the ones over
  1265. 40:34there are looking away.
  1266. 40:35Hey, they’re always the ones that
  1267. 40:36things happen to, right? I always tell
  1268. 40:37them, "Oh, look, if you want, stay here
  1269. 40:39. No, I want to see here." Here, they
  1270. 40:41knock something down, they cut
  1271. 40:42themselves or, for example, when we go
  1272. 40:43to the beach, the burner gets hot and I
  1273. 40:45, but who brought you? Nobody. When you
  1274. 40:48go to have your wedding session, just
  1275. 40:50take the photographer, the stylist and
  1276. 40:51the bride and groom, and it can be
  1277. 40:53someone you trust, like, take care of
  1278. 40:55my cell phone or you know what act.
  1279. 40:58Because whoever goes with you is
  1280. 40:59contagious, their attitude is
  1281. 41:01contagious. I want to ask you a few
  1282. 41:03more questions because we're going to
  1283. 41:05wrap up. We're running out of time.
  1284. 41:07They've got us under pressure here, we
  1285. 41:09don't have time and there's so much
  1286. 41:11more to tell.
  1287. 41:12Part two, part two controversial.
  1288. 41:14Yes, because she's the first stylist to
  1289. 41:15come to the podcast, so there's a lot I
  1290. 41:17want you to know. But we're going to a
  1291. 41:19wedding, Luz. We're going to transport
  1292. 41:21ourselves to a wedding. How long in
  1293. 41:23advance do they need to hire you? What
  1294. 41:25should the bride and groom take into
  1295. 41:26account when
  1296. 41:27planning a wedding photoshoot. I always
  1297. 41:29tell them that if they're getting
  1298. 41:31married, it's almost always 6 months
  1299. 41:33before, Right? 6, 5 months for the
  1300. 41:35invitations, because I missed that too,
  1301. 41:37because most people work so they have
  1302. 41:39time 6 months before. If you're going
  1303. 41:41to hire me to dress you for a wedding
  1304. 41:43that's for an event, I always tell them
  1305. 41:44two weeks, I
  1306. 41:45do it two weeks before too, I have a
  1307. 41:47lot of fun. Why? Because here people
  1308. 41:49dress horribly, horribly for weddings.
  1309. 41:52Or if it's a beach wedding and they
  1310. 41:53wear an outfit that has nothing to do
  1311. 41:55with it. And it complicates things, it
  1312. 41:57complicates them a lot. I always tell
  1313. 42:00them when they tell them the formal
  1314. 42:01dress is long, for men it's a suit, I
  1315. 42:03mean, don't go around asking if I'm
  1316. 42:04going to go, no, no, no, it's not long.
  1317. 42:06I mean, I see it a lot at weddings that
  1318. 42:08it's out of respect for the bride and
  1319. 42:09groom. It's a mineral that they're
  1320. 42:10spending so that you go badly dressed.
  1321. 42:12It
  1322. 42:12has all the...
  1323. 42:13No, that's true. They always ask me if
  1324. 42:15I'm criticizing. Never, but at my
  1325. 42:16wedding I was very demanding about the
  1326. 42:18time they had to go or at my birthday
  1327. 42:20parties I was demanding when they told
  1328. 42:21them I asked for a dress code. Now he
  1329. 42:24asked for a black dress coat, but it
  1330. 42:26said disco black and I said
  1331. 42:29disco black. In what aspect? Oh, the
  1332. 42:31one who is recording us was wearing
  1333. 42:33white, guys. He was the only one but it
  1334. 42:34doesn't matter because he gave me a
  1335. 42:35monetary prize. It's...
  1336. 42:37Ah, very good. He won me over
  1337. 42:38with that. He
  1338. 42:39says he didn't read it, he missed that
  1339. 42:41the invite said white.
  1340. 42:42Oh, and that's not what the people on
  1341. 42:43GTP chat say, who have like a thousand
  1342. 42:45pieces of information, a
  1343. 42:46thousand letters. No, but I said disco
  1344. 42:48black, how is that? Oh, man, well no
  1345. 42:50more black, the light tells me. Black
  1346. 42:52and it shines, but yes for weddings,
  1347. 42:54honestly, guys, if it says formal, long
  1348. 42:56and suit or tuxedo.
  1349. 42:57So you also dress the guests, you can
  1350. 42:59help them put together the outfits for
  1351. 43:01the bridesmaids, of
  1352. 43:02course. Sometimes you recommend the
  1353. 43:04color palette, I recommend this and
  1354. 43:07super cool.
  1355. 43:08And when it's a wedding, you know my
  1356. 43:10vogue is the beach, what do you
  1357. 43:12recommend they wear? Oh, This, this,
  1358. 43:14this and this. Also, when I go to the
  1359. 43:16beach or the garden, it's fluid color,
  1360. 43:18no heavy things and just have fun. And
  1361. 43:21wear things that are going to be really
  1362. 43:23hot. Otherwise, they walk around with
  1363. 43:24sweaty, sticky butts like right now. I
  1364. 43:27mean, they walk around with all sweaty
  1365. 43:29or they wear really heavy things that
  1366. 43:31are really heavy.
  1367. 43:33Very heavy makeup. Hair, well, if you
  1368. 43:35like it loose, that's up to you, but a
  1369. 43:38little more combed. Yes, yes. Here at
  1370. 43:40weddings, honestly, people arrive
  1371. 43:42wearing hats, and men in jeans, that's
  1372. 43:44my death. Women wear dresses that don't
  1373. 43:47look bad, but they don't suit the
  1374. 43:49occasion. Very, very important. And I
  1375. 43:51tell them, one must respect the bride
  1376. 43:53and groom because, well, right? So, you
  1377. 43:55know, you have to hire your stylist 6
  1378. 43:57months in advance. If it's such an
  1379. 44:01important session, hire a stylist, the
  1380. 44:03one you prefer, the one that goes with
  1381. 44:05you, the one that goes with you. That's
  1382. 44:09very important, hire a stylist. that
  1383. 44:11they identify with what they work on.
  1384. 44:13Oh, I like what they work on. That will
  1385. 44:16translate into what you wear, right? Be
  1386. 44:19very careful with those styles, that
  1387. 44:21have torn things, fancy things and in
  1388. 44:23the treatment. So be careful with that.
  1389. 44:25So, listen carefully to the points that
  1390. 44:28you have to take into account when
  1391. 44:30hiring a stylist. Uh, more or less, how
  1392. 44:34much does your service cost for two or
  1393. 44:36three outfits? S
  1394. 44:38for the looks. This one, right now, is
  1395. 44:415800. I already leaned them, advice,
  1396. 44:42detailing, uh, touch-ups if they want
  1397. 44:44any changes, it can be done and also, I
  1398. 44:46always tell them, behave well, I always
  1399. 44:48make some surprise changes there.
  1400. 44:52S 5800 and also they have all this good
  1401. 44:54vibes in succession, the encouragement,
  1402. 44:56they have fun, we gossip and the photos
  1403. 44:58come out great. So, please, well, we
  1404. 45:02are running out of time, or rather we
  1405. 45:04have already run out, uh, we missed a
  1406. 45:06lot here for say and unspeakable things
  1407. 45:08, but if
  1408. 45:09the angel is going to extort us here
  1409. 45:12with that information, oh well.
  1410. 45:15Luz, I'm delighted to have had you in
  1411. 45:17this space, that you've been here with
  1412. 45:19us today. It's always super fun to chat
  1413. 45:23with you, you always learn something.
  1414. 45:26Whenever I talk to you about fashion,
  1415. 45:28about whatever you want, I also take
  1416. 45:30away lessons from you. I know it's not
  1417. 45:33easy to be where you are right now, at
  1418. 45:35the point in your career where you are,
  1419. 45:37where you're already recognized. I
  1420. 45:38want to retire, I want to retire. No,
  1421. 45:41well, you're going to put up with it
  1422. 45:43longer because she's already a very
  1423. 45:45recognized stylist, she's super cool,
  1424. 45:47original, she has it all, she has it
  1425. 45:49all and she gives it her all too.
  1426. 45:52Oh, no, what a scandal. I'm going to
  1427. 45:54leave here like a peacock,
  1428. 45:55right? Really. So, also pay attention
  1429. 45:58to punctuality, good service, treatment
  1430. 46:00, everything, everything, everything.
  1431. 46:03So, don't forget to hire a stylist and
  1432. 46:05make sure they're what you want, that
  1433. 46:08they're a responsible person and that
  1434. 46:10they're solutions. It seems that
  1435. 46:12Lustán arrived at the studio today.
  1436. 46:15Relax, let yourselves be pampered and
  1437. 46:17listen to what we tell you. It's not
  1438. 46:19because sometimes we don't want to do
  1439. 46:21things, it's so that things flow better
  1440. 46:23, right?
  1441. 46:23And everything goes super well. So you
  1442. 46:25guys go with the flow, have fun, hire
  1443. 46:27the one you prefer and yes, hire, uh,
  1444. 46:29because then you want to hire them and
  1445. 46:31that's when things go wrong.
  1446. 46:33No, no, no. Hire. So, I hope you'll
  1447. 46:36finish the whole podcast so that you
  1448. 46:38know what to do, what not to do, what a
  1449. 46:40stylist is, what to bring, what not to
  1450. 46:42bring, what the costs may be and
  1451. 46:44everything that happens sometimes.
  1452. 46:47Hey, we'll have to do part two of the
  1453. 46:49bad part. Now we'll talk about the good
  1454. 46:51part.
