- 0:00and we were leaving in heels. Now it
- 0:02seems to us that, oh, I am totally out
- 0:04of place. Oh, this client is paying me
- 0:08and is spending money and doesn't know
- 0:10the mess they're going to give him.
- 0:13If a stylist doesn't solve your problem
- 0:15, don't buy it.
- 0:16If it doesn't solve your problem, bye.
- 0:18It is just that there are obviously
- 0:19people whom we enjoy working with more
- 0:21and others whom we enjoy working with
- 0:22much less. There are some who are
- 0:25referred to photographers. The girl's
- 0:27leg is going to show through her
- 0:28panties. The heel. This. Join in and
- 0:34shut up. This screen is discarded. I
- 0:37took it home for the cameras at home.
- 0:39Very expensive. Don't answer here.
- 0:41Don't answer or I don't have a date.
- 0:43Ahita. I always answer them, but you
- 0:45know what, I don't have a date. No,
- 0:46never. Today's podcast is going to be a
- 0:54little different, because this is going
- 0:57to be a lot of buzz with the guest I
- 0:59have here today, because she can't hold
- 1:01back, she can't hold back at all. But
- 1:05you don't know who she is; but she's a
- 1:07very well-known stylist that I love. As
- 1:11I've always told you, the people I have
- 1:14here are going to be people whose work
- 1:16I love and who are dedicated to fashion
- 1:18, to fashion, to dressing them up,
- 1:20accompanying them during their
- 1:22photoshoots, during their events. She's
- 1:27very creative, I don't know, you tell
- 1:30her, "With this, give me a look and
- 1:32she'll do it for you." And it's really
- 1:35cool, uh, she's
- 1:39very original, she's
- 1:41very original. And well, here with you
- 1:45I have the great stylist from Culiacán
- 1:48, Luz Payán.
- 1:51Uh, audience, audience,
- 1:54audience, those of you over there. Uh,
- 1:58I'm very happy, Lu.
- 1:59Thank you, Karen. Look, with those
- 2:00cheers I was like, what do I say now?
- 2:02Now what do I talk about? Thank you
- 2:04very much. Here we are. I wanted to
- 2:07come and gossip about fashion, tell you
- 2:09what we're doing, what we're going to
- 2:11do, how we're doing it, but you figured
- 2:12it out perfectly, didn't you? I'll
- 2:16show you a look with this, of
- 2:17course, whatever you want, you know,
- 2:19with this petal and make me a look.
- 2:21I always say, "Wear the clothes, we
- 2:22don't
- 2:22know how to dress, right?"
- 2:24And now they are buying and buying with
- 2:26that che thing, going crazy for the
- 2:28sales and then they do not even wear
- 2:29anything. That's what I'm getting at.
- 2:33It's a gift, it's a gift that you have
- 2:34to have because sometimes you don't
- 2:36even know how to combine colors, black
- 2:37and white and how to combine them and
- 2:39you're dead. Hey, and that's because I
- 2:41did start playing, Karen, playing. Then
- 2:44I specialized, but you have to bring it
- 2:45. In fact, many times I've been invited
- 2:48to give classes at very famous schools
- 2:50here and I refuse, as the song says,
- 2:52because I can't fail them and there are
- 2:54people who really don't have it. Well,
- 2:56too bad, kid, she does this work and
- 2:57lacks it too. She wants to be one thing
- 3:00, like you dress cool or like, oh girl,
- 3:01the friend who dresses cool, but when
- 3:03it comes to interpreting it with people
- 3:05or getting inspired. I looked on
- 3:07Pinterest and this and this look good
- 3:08and you wear it, you copy. That's
- 3:11copying. It's very different,
- 3:12right? And besides, even if they copy
- 3:14it, for example, I can copy you and
- 3:16they can be the same clothes and it
- 3:18doesn't come out right. You have to
- 3:20have that gift. That applies to
- 3:22everything, right? In photography, in
- 3:24clothing, there are people who will
- 3:25copy you and they still can't do it
- 3:27because they're not funny. I mean, 100%
- 3:29you have to have the gift, the grace,
- 3:31the spark, that spark that you have
- 3:33that where you get, what's up? There
- 3:37they are
- 3:37afraid of me, but I do behave very well
- 3:39. It's more like part of my image.
- 3:41She's a little strict, but honestly, I
- 3:43always try to have fun with my clients
- 3:45and treat them well. It's super
- 3:47important to be nice to people so that
- 3:48everyone can identify with you.
- 3:50Sometimes, no. Yes, I've had my two or
- 3:52three little details that I have. There
- 3:54are some very complicated people.
- 3:55Tell me, tell me. Let's start with that
- 3:57. Here, gossip will come first. Tell me
- 3:59. Let's see. There are some
- 4:00very complicated people, Carmen. I mean
- 4:02, more so in Culiacán. Here in
- 4:03Culiacán, the truth is that they think
- 4:05that you're the one who paints me,
- 4:06paints me, does everything for me, and
- 4:08they don't even tell you, "Please, or I
- 4:10want this and I want you to put Chanel
- 4:12Hermés on me and you, let's see, Mommy
- 4:14, do you have it?" No, no, you bring it
- 4:16to me. Well, you have to have it to
- 4:18know how to use it. Well, in my job, I
- 4:20also work with brands and stuff, but
- 4:22that's not the point, right? I always
- 4:24tell them that brands were a boom here
- 4:25in Culiacán for a while, when everyone
- 4:27wanted brands, and I thought, well, why
- 4:28would you wear them if you don't have
- 4:30them in your daily life? Sure,
- 4:31why should I say that? I mean,
- 4:33something aspirational is really cool,
- 4:35but no, there was a time when it really
- 4:37affected me like, let's see, if I have
- 4:39certain things, but if you don't have
- 4:41them, you're not going to...Besides,
- 4:42how are you going to carry a Hermes bag
- 4:44among your things that are what you're
- 4:46going to use every day to someone, or a
- 4:48pair of Chanel sneakers? How are you
- 4:50going to buy a pair of sneakers that
- 4:52cost $ 40,000 if you're catching 5%of
- 4:55the sneakers and they're not going to
- 4:57sell them to you? Well, no, I mean, no.
- 5:00Well, that was one of the things that
- 5:02some people didn't like. And another
- 5:03thing, well, sometimes it doesn't click
- 5:04, right? When they tell you, "I want
- 5:06this, I want to stand out from the
- 5:08crowd and shine." And you see that
- 5:11neither the person you hired does it
- 5:13nor I do it,
- 5:14which is very important, right? Many
- 5:16people hire you and don't even review
- 5:18your work or what you do and as we were
- 5:20talking about a while ago, ah, I want
- 5:21this. But I don't do it. I mean, it's
- 5:25not so much a fight with the client,
- 5:26it's more like I don't do it, hire them
- 5:28to do it or hire them to do it, right?
- 5:30Because many times it's not that you
- 5:31don't do it, it's that you don't want
- 5:32to do it,
- 5:33right? And what matters, what's
- 5:34important, is knowing how to say, "Hey,
- 5:36stop, I won't do it." And not just to
- 5:38keep the client's money, do something
- 5:40that you know doesn't represent you,
- 5:42that you don't do it, that you simply
- 5:44don't do it
- 5:44because then they're going to ask you,
- 5:46they're going
- 5:47to ask you and they're going to ask you
- 5:48and you're going to say, oh, I don't do
- 5:50this and I don't like it, it's not me.
- 5:52And that is going to be another thing
- 5:53you must do. And I always say, if you
- 5:56do it for money, right? That too, of
- 5:59course, obviously we all work for a
- 6:01monetary purpose, right? But when your
- 6:05essential motivation is, oh, I want to
- 6:06make money, it doesn't happen very
- 6:08often. I mean, that's why 350,000
- 6:10styles came about, because they do it
- 6:12for money. That's what I
- 6:13meant, we're getting ahead of ourselves
- 6:15, right? But that's what I was going to
- 6:16talk about. What do you think about
- 6:18that? That stylists pop up everywhere?
- 6:21And well, sometimes, they're people who
- 6:23either don't have the gift, or even
- 6:25though they studied it, it just doesn't
- 6:27come to them, or they didn't even study
- 6:29it and because they went to a session
- 6:31with a friend and helped the friend put
- 6:33on her boot and jacket or something.
- 6:35Oh, yeah, now they're stylists. Well,
- 6:37right now everyone is a stylist. Since
- 6:40I worked at Sara's for 2 hours, I've
- 6:41been a stylist for 2 hours. My mom and
- 6:43I dressed her for her first communion.
- 6:45I'm now a stylist. They tell me that I
- 6:48look good, man. I'm a stylist now, and
- 6:49I'm not.
- 6:50What do I think? It's too easy for them
- 6:52? It's so easy for them, so easy that I
- 6:54feel like right now they're really
- 6:56devaluing the market, because there are
- 6:58so many who say, "Oh, I'll buy a piece
- 7:01of chain
- 7:02and I'll do it with that, right?"
- 7:03Or that they lower their prices
- 7:05and, well, I always say that everyone
- 7:07can charge what they want, right?
- 7:08Everyone knows what they're worth, but
- 7:10it's very important that you give to
- 7:12the client. So, well, there are many
- 7:14who believe they are, but they're not.
- 7:17And deep down they know it because
- 7:18they're copying trends, copying what
- 7:19the other person does, doing exactly
- 7:21the same thing and as we were saying,
- 7:22it doesn't work out for them, it
- 7:24doesn't look like Wenda's, it just
- 7:25doesn't work out.
- 7:27I feel like the stylist market is even
- 7:29more jealous than the photographer
- 7:30market.
- 7:31Yes, because, well, it's the same thing
- 7:33, the client is going to ask you for
- 7:34the same thing that someone else saw or
- 7:36you always have to be creating because
- 7:38you know that what you've already done
- 7:39will be replicated and that's great. I
- 7:41always say, it's a tribute to life, let
- 7:42them continue it. replicating. What a
- 7:44pain. This one, but that detracts from
- 7:47the work.
- 7:48Yes, you come to realize that this
- 7:50stylist copied this look from me and
- 7:53this is what I did.
- 7:54Yes. And many times it's not really him
- 7:56, it's also the client who asks for it.
- 7:58I mean, it's a balance, right? You know
- 8:01who is copying you because it's
- 8:03shameless. The client asks for it and
- 8:05it's once, once in a while, well it's
- 8:06like the photos. Oh well, I want the
- 8:09photo in the white circle in the back.
- 8:11Oh, it's not going to say a
- 8:12photographer copied me. Well no, the
- 8:13client asked for that. This, like for
- 8:15example the metallic looks, those the
- 8:16gold looks, the tool ones, the client
- 8:18is going to keep asking for them. So,
- 8:20on that note, I don't think that type
- 8:21of look is so common. You realize when
- 8:24it's a joke or when you say, "Hey, you
- 8:26want to be a stylist, put in some
- 8:28tricks, invest in it." It's also very
- 8:30easy for them because they don't invest
- 8:32, they don't invest and in This
- 8:33requires a lot of investment, right?
- 8:35Yes.
- 8:36Let's say that as a photographer you
- 8:37can fix it if the boot comes bent
- 8:39because sometimes they do bend it, yes,
- 8:40but sometimes they do come back really
- 8:42damaged. So if you don't want to invest
- 8:45, just take money, it's the same thing.
- 8:47You're doing it just for the money, not
- 8:48to treat the person well, to make them
- 8:50feel cool, which is what I mean, right?
- 8:55So that they can see it and say, "Oh
- 8:57man, I took a bath.""
- 8:58I used to recommend, like, oh, well,
- 9:00there's such and such a stylist, such
- 9:01and such a stylist, they're missing
- 9:02something. I would send them the list
- 9:04like
- 9:04the directory.
- 9:05Yes, the directory of Stylists of
- 9:07Culiacán, I swear. But some time ago I
- 9:10started to realize, I mean, the
- 9:12difference between how a stylist treats
- 9:14a client and how another treats them.
- 9:17That's
- 9:18also very important. I always tell them
- 9:20, styling someone goes way beyond the
- 9:22clothes and if you're just hiring
- 9:23someone for the clothes, then you're
- 9:25hiring a costumer. Costumers or someone
- 9:27who puts your clothes on. Look, all of
- 9:30them, all of them, and there are too
- 9:31many. But as long as they make you feel
- 9:34good, they make you feel comfortable,
- 9:36they pamper you, they make you say," Oh
- 9:37, I had a great time, the session isn't
- 9:39a nightmare. "" It's
- 9:41even for us, the photographer, that
- 9:46the stylist can either make the session
- 9:48easy or difficult or complicated,
- 9:50because for example, I really like it
- 9:52when you guys come and ask me if you've
- 9:54noticed, to pose for me or to see some
- 9:56of your poses. I mean, oh no, Karen, I
- 9:58don't want to work.
- 9:59No, no, no, no. Here with Karen Ibarra,
- 10:02we work, man.
- 10:03Yes, of course. That's why teamwork is
- 10:05very important. If you work as a team,
- 10:06you work more comfortably,
- 10:09the session goes by faster, and if
- 10:10there's a situation like the one I'm
- 10:11telling you about, like my stocking
- 10:13ripped, you solve it as a team; you
- 10:14don't feel that attention anymore, like
- 10:16, how am I going to say it? And
- 10:18obviously, like everything else, there
- 10:19are photographers that I don't work
- 10:21with and won't work with again, and I
- 10:23don't care.
- 10:24And I don't care. Why? Because they
- 10:26don't support you. No, or maybe you
- 10:29excel at doing a great job and when
- 10:31it's time to They deliver the photos,
- 10:33horrible photos that he didn't even
- 10:36show, you say, "Oh, this client is
- 10:38paying me and spending and doesn't know
- 10:41the mess they're going to deliver to
- 10:43him." It's super important, right? I
- 10:45always ask, who's going to take care of
- 10:46you? Because I know that we're going to
- 10:48be able to work on that. And sometimes
- 10:50they ask you for things and you say, if
- 10:52you're saving money with the
- 10:53photographer and not with me, then the
- 10:55result might not be the same, right?
- 10:57And you hear it,
- 10:58but sometimes it can be misinterpreted,
- 11:00putting the client on alert and saying,
- 11:02I never tell them, I just ask to know,
- 11:03oh, do you want to do this? Well, what
- 11:06needs? I also have to cover it, it's
- 11:07part of my job. And this is wrong
- 11:09because you're exposing the other
- 11:11person and maybe that person needs a
- 11:13little more, it doesn't mean it's wrong
- 11:14, but it doesn't meet the requirements
- 11:16of what the client wants. If you want
- 11:18photos like that, you have to hire them
- 11:20here when they ask me
- 11:22or if they don't have a photographer
- 11:24anymore or you want this, you can hire
- 11:26them here because that person will give
- 11:28you the vibe, the bike, as the girls
- 11:30say now, or whatever you want. If not,
- 11:32well, We will do everything possible to
- 11:33make it work, but it won't be the same.
- 11:35It's not going to happen the same,
- 11:36right? It happened to me a lot, I'll
- 11:38tell you, I'd go through the whole
- 11:40calendar and now I don't have my top
- 11:42photos and I'd just do a few little
- 11:44numbers, I mean, and it's like, no...I
- 11:46don't tell them, "I don't recommend you
- 11:48anymore," I simply tell them, "I like
- 11:50to work with the stylists I like, with
- 11:52the ones who do a good job," and beyond
- 11:55that, I don't know you anymore. If you
- 11:58bring your own stylist, no problem. I
- 12:00mean, yes, I do work with them, but
- 12:02they almost always come with the ones I
- 12:04like. Because there was also a
- 12:07situation where I recommended a lot of
- 12:09stylists and then I found out that some
- 12:10of the stylists I recommended were
- 12:12already talking to me, "Oh, who's going
- 12:14to take your photos? Oh, Karen Ibarra."
- 12:17Oh, but look, there's so-and-so
- 12:18photographer,
- 12:20the client was stealing my photos and I
- 12:21was a good person. "
- 12:22Those are bad practices. When the
- 12:24market grows, for example, in
- 12:26photography, in styling, in everything,
- 12:28those kinds of things happen. The truth
- 12:30is that the new guys do it, the new
- 12:32guys who say I'm going to steal money
- 12:34to work here. And what do they do? They
- 12:36close the market, they close doors
- 12:38and they close the doors on themselves
- 12:40because the client goes to them once,
- 12:41they don't deliver the results they
- 12:43expect and then they come back to us
- 12:44and tell us," Sure,
- 12:46please. "" I mean, we've been through
- 12:48all those things, right? And even more
- 12:50so when lawsuits start between several
- 12:52people. I've never really been in an
- 12:54employment dispute with anyone, thank
- 12:56God for that, because I'm very clear.
- 12:58Oh, I don't work with the point. Oh,
- 12:59I'm telling you to their face. I mean,
- 13:01I don't like working with this person
- 13:03and I try to avoid those situations so
- 13:05as not to end up in a lawsuit. I don't
- 13:07like those rumors because, what do you
- 13:09say? It says more about what you say
- 13:11about that person than what you're
- 13:12doing. Sure. So, if this person comes
- 13:15and tells me, well, that says it. I'm
- 13:19not one to complain, I just, oh, okay,
- 13:21that happened, excuse me, I won't pass
- 13:24on your number again, I won't recommend
- 13:26you again, period. Oh, I haven't seen
- 13:30you since. Who knows? Oh, how strange.
- 13:32Touched.
- 13:32Oh, you don't lend me things anymore.
- 13:34Who knows why I have it busy? And also
- 13:38I like clients, uh, I love to like bad
- 13:40clients who behaved badly during the
- 13:43session. I say, "No, mommy, no, it
- 13:45won't happen to me again." And badly I
- 13:49mean that sometimes they are rude to my
- 13:51assistant, to me, to the makeup artist,
- 13:52since everything is a team, you say, "
- 13:54No, this person is going to be a
- 13:56problem in the long run and they don't
- 13:58like anything, it's better here." Then
- 14:00they come back, but they are left
- 14:01wanting more.
- 14:02They are left wanting more. Besides, if
- 14:04that person, if you have already
- 14:05realized that you don't do well with
- 14:06them at all, it's bad publicity because
- 14:08they are going to go and say, "Oh, this
- 14:09happened to me," blah blah blah. "And
- 14:12that's a lie because they come back
- 14:14because they come back, you don't say
- 14:16no,
- 14:17but if you have a little
- 14:19mark on my, on my cell phone, on your
- 14:20cell phone, don't answer here, don't
- 14:22answer, or that I don't have a date, I
- 14:24always answer them, but that you know
- 14:25what, I never have a date. Listen,
- 14:29we're starting with the hard gossip,
- 14:31but for those who don't know, because
- 14:33this term of stylist is perhaps more
- 14:36for the kids than for the older
- 14:37generations. Hey, yes, because then
- 14:41they always asked me if I paint hair,
- 14:43if I do nails, that I don't paint hair,
- 14:45I don't do nails, I'm not going to sew
- 14:48your clothes, or I'm not going to rent
- 14:50you my clothes, just like that.
- 14:53The term of styles, well, it started
- 14:55with people who paint or fix hair, but
- 14:56it's already migrated to people who are
- 14:58image consultants, right? That's the
- 15:01word.
- 15:01Yes. Ah, well then I do them and I
- 15:04emphasize them. And here we tell you
- 15:06what a stylist does and doesn't do.
- 15:10Maybe for The older generations, as I
- 15:12tell them, who are not aware that, ah,
- 15:14a single outfit and they tell you, like
- 15:16, a single what? I mean, a single
- 15:19outfit, two outfits, the package, the
- 15:21stylist doesn't include it, but then
- 15:22you as a photographer tell them," Hey,
- 15:24what do you include in your package?
- 15:26Here come the clothes. "I mean, no,
- 15:29that's the job, the stylist's work. Yes
- 15:32. What does a stylist do? They're an
- 15:33image consultant. They help you
- 15:35conceptualize what you're going to do
- 15:36in the session, get dressed, put
- 15:37together the looks. And you also have
- 15:40looks, which I always tell people, if
- 15:41you have a really bad suit or maybe I
- 15:42have, you know what? All these branded
- 15:45things that I don't even know how to
- 15:46use, you have to style them, that's the
- 15:48word, make them work in a way that
- 15:49works for my photos or for everyday
- 15:51life too, right? That's what a stylist
- 15:53does, they do it...The term started
- 15:55with artists, because they were the
- 15:57ones who conceptualized the image of,
- 15:58well, how Britney looked or how we
- 16:00define the 2000s era; it's because
- 16:02there was someone, this, how she looked
- 16:07or how Duel looks, how Lady Gaga looks,
- 16:09how all the divas look and how men look
- 16:11too, right? Everything is thought out,
- 16:14right? And I liked doing it, well,
- 16:17Bringing it down to earth with photos
- 16:19of normal people, so that everyone in
- 16:21their photos feels like an artist, a
- 16:22diva, an artist, and even more so here
- 16:24in Culiacán, where we love the show,
- 16:27the cool, the glitter, the extravagance
- 16:30,
- 16:31everything extravagant, where lately
- 16:32we've been very calm, but we're still
- 16:34looking for shorts.
- 16:35Yes, lately I feel like the trends
- 16:38right now are like everything a little
- 16:40less. Culiacán was a little more, I
- 16:45mean, Culiacán always more is more and
- 16:47it also had its golden age which was
- 16:49like a trend towards the bochona wave,
- 16:51all the glitter, the nail polish or ah,
- 16:54that's very Culiacán, I love that. I
- 16:57love it when that's very Culiacán.
- 16:59Of course, I mean, no, that also
- 17:00happens a lot with fashion, right?
- 17:02Because if you don't like it, what can
- 17:04I say if it's good or bad, no. Fashion
- 17:06goes
- 17:07beyond that. In fact, when I upload
- 17:09outfits I tell them, I don't like those
- 17:10pants. Dude, I didn't ask you, I'm
- 17:12telling you that it's being used. I
- 17:14don't like it, dude. Well, don't wear
- 17:16it. That's what fashion is for, to
- 17:18create diversity.
- 17:19Fashion suits those who like it, you
- 17:20can express yourself. And yes, right
- 17:22now, trends go hand in hand with what's
- 17:25happening in the world. What's
- 17:27happening in the world? Crisis, um, war
- 17:30, instability, sorry. We're coming out
- 17:34of a pandemic that seems like yesterday
- 17:35and it was 6 years ago. So, what's
- 17:37happening with fashion? Well, you don't
- 17:39wear glitter anymore, you don't wear
- 17:41those heels with feathers anymore,
- 17:43because right now everything is more
- 17:44about being more stable and that also
- 17:46goes with what you wear on your head,
- 17:49right? So, that's why women are simpler
- 17:52, calmer now, they also want us to go a
- 17:54little unnoticed, but since we
- 17:57stopped wearing heels, the ladies...Oh,
- 17:59yeah, you ladies. Let's
- 18:02see, you don't wear high heels, boots
- 18:04and...Like that, but it's so famous
- 18:09that we used to go
- 18:12to the club, to the little bar, to the
- 18:14restaurant, to the piñata and we would
- 18:16go in heels. Now it seems to us that
- 18:18it's completely irrelevant. Sure, it's
- 18:22a trend. In fact, there's a theory out
- 18:25there that says that it has a lot to do
- 18:26with how the world is, how it uses
- 18:28skirts and heels. And when we wear them
- 18:31closer to the ground, they want us
- 18:32calmer, more relaxed, more everything,
- 18:34given what happens in the world, right?
- 18:36It is when a revolution is desired that
- 18:38women step up onto their platforms,
- 18:40that they step up onto their high heels
- 18:42. So that's also why I'm telling you,
- 18:45because fashion has many very
- 18:47interesting things, not only that get
- 18:49ready with me, let's do this Shane
- 18:51thing. I mean, no, everything has a
- 18:54reason, right? Why do we dress. What do
- 18:56you think of get ready with me? Oh, how
- 18:58awful.
- 18:59Hey, I was dying of laughter just now
- 19:00at the World Cup.
- 19:01Always, look how always. They ask me
- 19:02for it on my social media, but I mean,
- 19:04I always wear the same thing because I
- 19:06don't know what I like, what suits me,
- 19:07what doesn't. And well, they record
- 19:09that I bought all this from Sara, I'm
- 19:11going to wear it. They end up returning
- 19:13it. It doesn't suit their personality
- 19:15at all; it just doesn't. One day
- 19:16they're sirens, another day they're
- 19:18clean look, another day they're Harley
- 19:20Bieber. Oh man, that's why I was
- 19:22shocked because they don't have a style
- 19:24and it's very important to have a style
- 19:26where they say," That's too expensive,
- 19:28my bar, that's
- 19:29too bright for girls "and you don't see
- 19:31those people who say, oh that's too, I
- 19:33was going to say an influencer, but I
- 19:34better not say it, that's too her, no
- 19:36because they're always wearing what's
- 19:38trendy, trendy, trendy, trendy, they're
- 19:39like a catalog. I see it as a catalog.
- 19:42I don't like them for that reason, but
- 19:44I do see them
- 19:45because I'm always looking for clothes,
- 19:47I liked that. Oh, now I know where it
- 19:49is. I'm going to look for it, I'm going
- 19:51to buy it to have in my styling closet.
- 19:52Yeah, it's not something that, if you
- 19:54see it represented in an image, you'd
- 19:55say:" Oh, that was made by such and
- 19:56such influencer. "Is it her look or is
- 19:59it a look that she would wear, because
- 20:00they have everything very...is she from
- 20:02the archetypes? For example, she's on
- 20:05the red carpet in Sendaya, a get ready
- 20:06with me with her, we already know what
- 20:08style she has; she has a really badass
- 20:09stylist. Sure, I'm interested in that
- 20:11one, but I don't care about the one in
- 20:13Monterrey, I mean, and they send them
- 20:14to me as if it were, dude, they don't
- 20:17send you ideas, as if they were ideas,
- 20:18dude, no, I mean, and in fact there are
- 20:19things that I already bought, I already
- 20:21bought.
- 20:22For that, yes, I'm very observant,
- 20:24observant. So, if I go to a store, I
- 20:27can tell you before the people who work
- 20:28at Sara, where is it? I feel like
- 20:35hiring a stylist when it's something I
- 20:38don't have in my closet. Sure.
- 20:41I wouldn't normally wear it, but I like
- 20:43it, it's something I want, but I won't
- 20:46go to an event with something like that
- 20:48. You're
- 20:48not going to invest in that either. I
- 20:50mean, for example, we're talking about
- 20:52these stuffed animals, these stuffed
- 20:54animals that are very trendy. It's
- 20:56something that you're always going to
- 20:57wear, but you're not going to buy it.
- 20:58Why would you buy it?
- 20:59Yeah, because you're not dating him. I
- 21:02was even traveling recently and my
- 21:03assistant told me to bring me some
- 21:05stuffed animals like that. I told her,"
- 21:08Man, I mean, no, how am I going to
- 21:10carry suitcases all over the streets
- 21:11with these stuffed animals and how am I
- 21:13going to get to the tower? "I said and
- 21:15I'll lend it to you. I'll lend it to
- 21:18you, I'll rent it. No, I did know that
- 21:21you would lend them to me, but I mean,
- 21:22it wasn't, I mean, it would have been
- 21:23really cool to take a photo, maybe at
- 21:25the Tour de Paris with an outfit that I
- 21:26had asked you to put together,
- 21:29for example, that's what they talk to
- 21:30me about, they talk to me a lot and I
- 21:32barely think I'm going to launch it,
- 21:33but I'm going to launch this little
- 21:35project of making looks for her for her
- 21:36trips. But they ask me about this a lot
- 21:38and I tell them, if you're going to
- 21:40travel you have to take clothes, cables
- 21:42, but you have to be practical. Why?
- 21:45Because the photo, gey photo, I mean,
- 21:46there you don't see how in New York I
- 21:48had to see some influencers who brought
- 21:50a big suitcase and changed right there,
- 21:52but that's what they were going for.
- 21:55How annoying that you miss all that for
- 21:56a photo. That's going to make you look
- 21:58better in your daily life. Why? Because
- 22:01you can be all messed up with the coat
- 22:03and be telling me," Wow, did you see?
- 22:05Look, no. "I mean, tell me what you saw
- 22:08in Pisa, what happened in Rome. I mean,
- 22:11that gives you, like, I don't know what
- 22:13. A story you learned. I didn't care
- 22:15about the look and the photo this time.
- 22:17And the photo. You can take a really
- 22:19cool souvenir photo, take two or three
- 22:21looks with you, but there are people
- 22:23who want the whole trip to be theirs
- 22:25and suffer the whole trip because
- 22:26they're thinking," I won't make it to
- 22:28the hotel to change. "Sometimes you
- 22:30make it and then you go to the hotel
- 22:32with Alex Rivera, who I love with Alex
- 22:34because Alex travels a lot. New York is
- 22:38great. I had to take the looks with me,
- 22:40obviously. They would have seen me
- 22:42carrying my suitcase. If you go out and
- 22:44travel, you can't walk. Oh, I'll call
- 22:47an Uber because it's expensive, right?
- 22:49But it says that some people have one,
- 22:52but you lose a ton of time getting
- 22:54there. So, you have to walk with that.
- 22:56Now, imagine yourself on a trip in
- 22:57Europe,
- 22:57on the train. For me, a suitcase tire
- 23:00would break, and I'd be screwed.
- 23:02Yeah, it's not impossible. So, there's
- 23:04also that illusion that influencers
- 23:06give off that we're going to go and
- 23:07take a photo every time we go out. It's
- 23:10a lie. There are people who do that,
- 23:12but when you travel, travel to improve
- 23:15your style. And besides, if you want
- 23:18style, you don't need to take 50,000;
- 23:19you'll look great with whatever you
- 23:21wear, invest in it. I always say:
- 23:23accessories, something that identifies
- 23:25you, get ready, make sure you look
- 23:26clean. I mean, then a bad fall and
- 23:28there they are in their pajamas or
- 23:30doing yoga.
- 23:31Without showering for three days, no
- 23:32way. I mean, even if they bring yoga,
- 23:34lululemon or whatever they have. So,
- 23:37the best thing is that if they want
- 23:38photos, I think, ah, okay, I'm going to
- 23:39take the photo, I'm going to one place,
- 23:40there's no way to go to take the photo.
- 23:43If you're going to take a photo,
- 23:44pay for a trip to take a photo.
- 23:45Yes, I think so. Yeah. I think that's
- 23:48actually the ideal thing, to pay for a
- 23:50special trip and go for special photos.
- 23:53There are so many photos. I have also
- 23:54seen that trend with younger kids,
- 23:56where their travel photos no longer
- 23:57need to be quite so perfect anymore. I
- 23:59mean, if you take your gloss with you,
- 24:01it also looks super cool when you're
- 24:03blurry. And the great look, well, who's
- 24:05going to see your great look? I'm not
- 24:07interested in seeing your great look,
- 24:09I'm interested in seeing Shakira's,
- 24:11Dualipa's, and on their honeymoon, but
- 24:13not yours.
- 24:16No, no, no, no. I mean, if it's from
- 24:18influencers, well, they always wear the
- 24:19same thing, you go down to see what
- 24:20they wore on that trip and that's where
- 24:22you can get inspired too. That's why
- 24:24I'm telling you, the trend right now is
- 24:27not to be so posed, to be
- 24:29more relaxed,
- 24:30more relaxed, but in a photo, which is
- 24:32what I like to do the most, that's
- 24:34where the fantasy comes in. You want to
- 24:36be cool, you can do anything because
- 24:38the photo is a fantasy. Of course.
- 24:40And one's job is to make that fantasy
- 24:42flow, to make it look good and for them
- 24:43to say," Oh, how cool, you look like a
- 24:45princess. "" Oh, how cool, you look,
- 24:47you look great. "Yes, because a style
- 24:49can also be the thing that builds you
- 24:52or breaks you. So, you have to be very
- 24:55careful when choosing your style. And
- 24:57especially now, let's talk about brides
- 25:00, weddings, which is super important
- 25:02and sometimes people don't think that
- 25:05having styles is something basic.
- 25:07Yes, I love working with brides because
- 25:09most of the ones who hire me are very
- 25:12bright. I don't know anything about
- 25:13fashion. I work all day, but I want
- 25:15something pretty for my session and a
- 25:17little more elevated than what I wear
- 25:19every day, right?
- 25:21Those brides who want me to dress them
- 25:22up as baseball players for the tomato
- 25:23growers don't hire me because I've
- 25:25already asked them to. But you're going
- 25:28to wear that all season. Why do you
- 25:29want to look like that? Better a cool
- 25:31dress to look like a total [ __ ],
- 25:33expensive, and your husband looks
- 25:34expensive, no? They arrive with a
- 25:37guarachón or with the...
- 25:39Your thing is glamor. The glamor
- 25:41of who? Of a very handsome but very
- 25:44eccentric boyfriend who arrived with a
- 25:46lot of brand-name stuff, but in very
- 25:47bad taste, very bad taste. And I did
- 25:50that
- 25:50so I told him no. I
- 25:53told him, you know, I don't know, I
- 25:55mean, he laughed because it was very...
- 25:57We were already getting along and I
- 25:59told him, dude, I mean, this is
- 26:00Cristian, the booty is horrible. Don't
- 26:04those sneakers you're wearing on the
- 26:06clock look better on you than all this?
- 26:09I was very disappointed after seeing
- 26:11all his investment wasted. I mean, most
- 26:14people want to look good and others
- 26:15want to get crazy saying," Oh, I'm
- 26:17going to cut my hair for a new look, "
- 26:18and I also don't recommend that when
- 26:20it's a photoshoot because you're not
- 26:21going to feel like yourself,
- 26:23right? And then you'll look at the
- 26:24photos and say," What did I do? "
- 26:25Say," What did I do? "Exactly. That's
- 26:27what a stylist is for. Aside from
- 26:29taking your clothes, you know what?
- 26:32Look, if you like to have your hair cut
- 26:34like this, leave it because it's you,
- 26:35or you know, how many ugly nails have
- 26:37you seen that you've had to edit? You
- 26:39have to fix them.
- 26:41So, I always say, roots, nails, this,
- 26:43that, once you have everything ready,
- 26:44such as your nails, your personal
- 26:46hygiene, for men, your beard, cutting
- 26:48your nails, your teeth, I don't know,
- 26:49any little detail, then we'll go to
- 26:51your clothes,
- 26:53start with your person, that's
- 26:54the easiest thing to do. And with
- 26:56brides and grooms, that's what it's all
- 26:57about: making sure they look good, that
- 26:59they look expensive, that they look
- 27:00elegant, and that they have great
- 27:02photos that will last a lifetime. Those
- 27:03photos will stay with them, right? On
- 27:05the contrary,
- 27:07sometimes they don't want to invest in
- 27:09stylists and want to leave all the work
- 27:11to us photographers. They think that
- 27:13we're going to do a fabulous job with
- 27:16whatever clothes they come in. Of
- 27:18course, it has a lot to do with the
- 27:20styling work. Why? Because you can tell
- 27:23me," I want this spot. But obviously
- 27:27this spot has to be done with shades of
- 27:29clothing that suit her or that one
- 27:31color suits her and the other clashes
- 27:33and the two colors clash, and forget
- 27:35about it.
- 27:37It doesn't mean that you look bad. I
- 27:39always say, it doesn't mean that the
- 27:40photo doesn't look harmonious when
- 27:42combined, and you'll say, "Oh, why
- 27:43doesn't my photo look like theirs?"
- 27:46It's because of what you wore, the
- 27:47color you used, where you wanted to
- 27:48wear it. Sometimes they want to wear
- 27:50heels in the ocean. I've done endless
- 27:52sessions of couples in the ocean and I
- 27:54tell them, "Hey, there are flies,
- 27:56you're going to get wet, this, that, ah
- 27:57, I'm pulling." If you pull, I'm
- 27:59pulling. And the point of that session
- 28:01is that you know that you have to wear
- 28:03clothes that, well, too bad, look dirty
- 28:04and then they say, "Oh, why isn't that
- 28:06photo in?" And it's because of all
- 28:08these types of details that have to be
- 28:10taken care of,
- 28:10because low-fit does matter. And then,
- 28:13apart from that, for us as
- 28:15photographers, the work of the stylist,
- 28:17apart from that, greatly improves the
- 28:19photo. Why? Because of what I tell them
- 28:22, because when they arrive, if they
- 28:24don't bring stylists, I tell them, "Hey
- 28:27, that look you're wearing goes better
- 28:29with this setting or that setting. So,
- 28:31I do help them a little bit when they
- 28:33don't bring a stylist."
- 28:34Yes, of course. In fact, as
- 28:35photographers, there are some who tell
- 28:36me, "Oh, no, I don't know anything,
- 28:37help me." Or what can I do? Because you
- 28:40also have so much work and sometimes
- 28:41you can't figure it out, right? Like me
- 28:44, sometimes they come to me and say, "
- 28:45Oh, what do you recommend?" And I don't
- 28:47know you, I don't know how to recommend
- 28:49you. Wait,
- 28:50let me talk. I see everything. Now that
- 28:53I know you, I can recommend you. It's
- 28:54the same with what you recommend. All
- 28:56that takes time and that's also why you
- 28:58pay. Of course. No.
- 29:00And many times they say, "Oh, no, right
- 29:02now that's so fashionable because of
- 29:03the chain, because of the sales,
- 29:05because it's summer and obviously
- 29:06because of the economy. I'd rather buy
- 29:08the clothes that way I'll keep them."
- 29:10They don't wear them. That's a lie.
- 29:12They don't wear them. And I tell them
- 29:13you
- 29:13end up spending more.
- 29:14You spend more. Why? Take a look. If
- 29:17it's two looks. Two looks is the
- 29:19complete outfit. Two pairs of shoes,
- 29:22two earrings, two necklaces, makeup,
- 29:23someone to touch up your hair, someone
- 29:25to take care of those details.
- 29:27Especially if you wear a certain type
- 29:29of clothing. There are details that we
- 29:32have in the styles, such as coats,
- 29:33capes, stoles, things that we have made
- 29:35, that we take off and put on, and that
- 29:37make any little thing that you wear
- 29:38look good for a photoshoot. So, if
- 29:40you're going to wear something that you
- 29:42wear every day, take them with your
- 29:43cell phone. Your stylist is also
- 29:44sometimes in contact with your makeup
- 29:46artist. If you take the package with
- 29:48your makeup artist, she has already
- 29:49spoken to your makeup artist. I'm going
- 29:51to put this on. I need an updo, I need
- 29:54some waves so that I can put them back
- 29:56later or I need to blow dry, I need, in
- 29:58other words, your look, your makeup,
- 30:00and
- 30:01now that it's really hot, I tell you,
- 30:03bring that one that I buy and I don't
- 30:04know what, and then the clothes are
- 30:06finished. It works. Like, "Oh, I'm
- 30:08going to get my makeup done and all,"
- 30:10but you bring no one to assist or do
- 30:11your touch-ups; that's how they arrive
- 30:13at the session.
- 30:13They arrive at the session carrying
- 30:15suitcases, unloading things from the
- 30:17car, saying, "Wait, I forgot this, I
- 30:19left this outside, I don't know where
- 30:21this is." I mean, they're already very
- 30:23stressed out by the time they get to
- 30:25the session, it's already here.
- 30:26Their job is to solve problems. If a
- 30:28stylist fails you, it isn't the reverse
- 30:30. If they don't solve your problems,
- 30:32bye. And of course, that can be
- 30:33discussed too. There are things that I
- 30:35can't solve because I don't know how to
- 30:37do them, or I'm not going to do them
- 30:39because your photographer has to do it
- 30:41or whatever; that can be discussed. But
- 30:44if not, misunderstandings often arise,
- 30:46and that's when the client, like, ask,
- 30:48come over. And the truth is, if you
- 30:52hire a stylist and a photographer you
- 30:54trust, you'll spend the entire session,
- 30:57like, bubble gum, at ease, you'll have
- 30:59fun and you'll let them pamper you.
- 31:03They'll tell you, "Sit down, they'll
- 31:04take off your shoe, put on another one,
- 31:06they'll adjust your dress, if the dress
- 31:07is too big, they'll adjust it for you;
- 31:09in other words, they'll totally pamper
- 31:10you on the day of your photos.
- 31:12Especially in a wedding session it's
- 31:14very important because it's not the
- 31:16same to deal with one person than with
- 31:18two. As a bride, you have in your head
- 31:19what you're going to wear, your look
- 31:21and everything, and men never decide on
- 31:23their look, what they're going to wear.
- 31:25So,
- 31:25they end up fighting about this. The
- 31:29man also doesn't make me laugh and they
- 31:31don't take care of him. Really, really
- 31:33bad, and God forbid. And if you worried
- 31:36about the man also coming handsome, you
- 31:37come with the burden of" I forgot this
- 31:39about him "or" I forgot this about me "
- 31:41because you come with the burden of two
- 31:42people. Otherwise, you hire your
- 31:45stylist, you arrive fresh, combed, even
- 31:47in your pajamas if you want to arrive
- 31:50without" I forgot. "If you want to
- 31:53bring your watch, your personal items,
- 31:55little things that you should bring
- 31:56because you are a couple, but you bring
- 31:58the rest at your leisure.
- 32:00We have fun with the only thing I
- 32:02always tell them, the only thing we
- 32:03can't do anything about is the heat,
- 32:04but if you put in the effort,
- 32:06everything flows
- 32:06or if you come to Vinal's, everything
- 32:09flows because obviously here in his
- 32:12dressing room, we have his entire
- 32:15bathroom here, we have everything. You
- 32:16had to put the prize there, right? You
- 32:18knew
- 32:19we had to score a goal with Vinal. Of
- 32:21course. Hey, yes, because it was urgent
- 32:23to have a new space here in Culiacán.
- 32:25It was
- 32:25urgent to give it versatility.
- 32:27Yes, because here we like the same
- 32:28thing, the same thing, the same thing.
- 32:30But
- 32:30not anymore. Here we are going to be
- 32:32renewing, renewing so that later they
- 32:34don't say," Oh, no, Abinalu again,
- 32:36Avinalú again. "No, no, no. Here we
- 32:38are going to be renewing.
- 32:39The careen doesn't stop. This woman
- 32:40wants to do a podcast, she doesn't want
- 32:41to jump out of the helicopter, she went
- 32:42to Rome, she came back and
- 32:44tomorrow we are going to jump out of
- 32:45the parachute.
- 32:45Tomorrow she feels like it, Pilates. So
- 32:47, the woman doesn't stop.
- 32:48Yes, it's not ideal. I think I don't
- 32:51stop, like being on trend, always
- 32:53looking for something to do, like you
- 32:55too, who spends time checking how many
- 32:57times a week you go to the stores.
- 32:59Oh, enough.
- 33:01Enough. Every time I go I find you
- 33:03there, so don't tell me. You're also
- 33:05there all the time. I've been a
- 33:06compulsive shopper since I was born.
- 33:07That has nothing to do with my
- 33:09profession, right? So I always go that
- 33:11way, but I really like going. Sometimes
- 33:14I don't go shopping. I'll go see if the
- 33:16videos are being recorded, what's being
- 33:18used, why it's being used, and things
- 33:21that I like for the shoot. Right now,
- 33:23as I said, the trend with Stylis is
- 33:25almost always to order, not custom-made
- 33:27, but different things and garments.
- 33:28Why? Because fashion is very quiet in
- 33:31stores and it's summer, all fashion is
- 33:33very light, relaxed, so these are
- 33:35things that I don't use for the shoot.
- 33:37Bring back the wow factor or something
- 33:39that says," Oh, that's cool, I'm going
- 33:40to style it like this. You're making me
- 33:41all heated up. You're making me all
- 33:43heated up with all the gossip. We're
- 33:44behind the scenes. The gossip got even
- 33:48better behind the scenes. There are
- 33:50things we can't talk about. Well, yes,
- 33:51we can, but without names.
- 33:53Luz is going to tell you why we're
- 33:55talking. Obviously, there are people we
- 33:58like working with more and there are
- 33:59people we like working with less. There
- 34:02are some who go overboard. There are
- 34:05photographers who go overboard. I mean,
- 34:06they take 3 hours or they tell me, "I
- 34:08take an hour per look." Doing what? I
- 34:11don't take an hour changing them. Or
- 34:13when it takes me a little while, it's
- 34:15like, "Hey, I'm going to take a long
- 34:16time because I'm going to put on the
- 34:17stockings and they take an hour with a
- 34:18look." But as a photographer, you agree
- 34:20that you can't depend so much on your
- 34:22time, right? And if the client doesn't
- 34:24give it, there are girls who put in the
- 34:26effort, others who don't give it, it's
- 34:27like everything else, you can't give it
- 34:28to them, right? And you have to help
- 34:31them, but in heels, with the lights, in
- 34:34the heat,
- 34:35right? If you see that one isn't
- 34:36working for you, discard it and do
- 34:37another one and you have to find
- 34:39someone who sticks with it and sticks
- 34:40with it and, well, add to that, there
- 34:42are several factors, right? A session
- 34:44that can drive you crazy, which drives
- 34:45me crazy. One is time, right? I know
- 34:48that there are photographers who take
- 34:49longer than others, there are styles
- 34:50that take longer than others, you know
- 34:52that, but since they're going overboard
- 34:53, you say, hey, what if you
- 34:55have another event scheduled that you
- 34:56don't have your time. Of course, don't
- 34:58fall in love, right? And there are
- 34:59photographers who seem to do it on
- 35:01purpose, like, oh no, I'm not That's
- 35:03how I work.
- 35:04Oh, look,
- 35:06I love it when people come to me and
- 35:08give me fresh ideas too, and tell me, "
- 35:10Karen, what if you're thinking of doing
- 35:12this look here? It would look cooler
- 35:14here." Yes, you're right.
- 35:15There are photographers that you can't
- 35:17tell anything to, that you can't
- 35:19interfere with. At first, I had to work
- 35:21with two.
- 35:22There was a man who was hateful,
- 35:24hateful, hateful, hateful, hateful.
- 35:26He's not so new anymore. He's old, he's
- 35:29old. I don't have to work with him
- 35:30anymore. Thank God. That man thought, I
- 35:34don't know, Mario Testino, that he knew
- 35:37who this guy from Bog was, that I would
- 35:39say, "Hey, girl, I'm going to tell you
- 35:42what to do." But it was so rude that I
- 35:46didn't say, "Oh, well, screw my mother,
- 35:53let her do whatever she wants." It's
- 35:55also when you say, "Hey, I'm not going
- 35:57to interfere and hurt her." I mean, I'm
- 36:00explaining what's happening to me. And
- 36:02sometimes even the client would notice
- 36:04and it was like, "Oh no, the
- 36:05photographer told me this, but I didn't
- 36:06want that. I
- 36:09can't do anything right there." No. And
- 36:10another factor that also affects my
- 36:12feelings in the sessions is that there
- 36:14are also mothers who don't behave,
- 36:16right? They're like, "Put your hair up,
- 36:20Luz, your hair, your hair." And you're
- 36:23like, "
- 36:23No, you're taking the picture from that
- 36:25angle and you can see the girl's leg
- 36:26here." Luz, her leg doesn't go like
- 36:28that. The glove usually goes on, right?
- 36:30And you obviously already know what to
- 36:32do, but many times you're not at the
- 36:33same angle and I always tell them, "
- 36:35Look, if you're on that side, don't
- 36:37worry, I'll take it from here." But
- 36:38there are intense mothers, right? That
- 36:40the girl's leg is going to show through
- 36:44her panties and you, uh, shut up. If
- 36:48you come to the photoshoots, you see
- 36:50and trust the work of the great team
- 36:53they bring. Relax, you see, they are
- 36:56intense and I like the tangles, start
- 36:58making conversation so that they let
- 37:00the photographer work. There, the
- 37:02photographer, well, I tell him, "You
- 37:03know what? Tell me about the hair,
- 37:05something, anything, I'll entertain her
- 37:07because sometimes they don't let you
- 37:08work. I've had to be on top of the
- 37:10photographer and the light and...Show
- 37:12me the photo. Show me." That's why I
- 37:15don't
- 37:16use the screen to do the test test
- 37:18anymore because I bought it and had it
- 37:19for a while and it was just to see the
- 37:21photo, I don't know what, and I didn't
- 37:23discard this screen; I took it home for
- 37:25the cameras at home. That's why, for
- 37:28example, it's often done in fashion
- 37:29photoshoots, right? Where the model
- 37:31isn't going to get involved and only
- 37:33the stylist, the creative director,
- 37:34those kinds of people are going to give
- 37:36their opinion, but here, when everyone
- 37:38wants to give their opinion, no, no,
- 37:40it's not a factor that makes me feel
- 37:42like a jerk. I've never, it's very rare
- 37:44, I don't think I've ever fought with a
- 37:46client, but I have been clear, let's
- 37:48see, clear. I need to know. What do
- 37:50they need, what do they want, because
- 37:51if not, we can't move forward and they
- 37:53calm down, but it's extreme, right? I
- 37:55had one time where the girl didn't like
- 37:57anything. I brought everything you
- 37:59asked me to, everything. I mean, I did
- 38:02a whole room of this apartment with all
- 38:04the looks as she had sent them to me
- 38:06and it was like, well, this one, but
- 38:08also this one, but I'd rather try that
- 38:10one on and I, I mean, that can't be
- 38:12done in terms of time, guys. Why?
- 38:15You waste the photographer's time, I
- 38:16waste my time. You have to trust what
- 38:18they bring you, they bring it to your
- 38:19measurements. Well, if you want to do
- 38:21that, it's also more expensive, right?
- 38:23You can book an appointment in advance,
- 38:25an appointment as well. Trying on
- 38:27clothes doesn't work so much when
- 38:28you're going to do a photoshoot,
- 38:29because the point is to do it quickly,
- 38:31if you're looking at the clothes,
- 38:32you're looking at yourself, you're not
- 38:33going to buy them, someone is going to
- 38:35fit them, they're going to make them
- 38:36look cool. So, that also makes the job
- 38:39not work. flow. Why? Because what you
- 38:41do is they don't trust your time,
- 38:43they have to trust your process, what
- 38:44they like and you don't make them flow,
- 38:45right? Why? Because the photographer is
- 38:47already there, already there. And you,
- 38:48well, no, the girl wants to try
- 38:50everything on, what do we do? I mean,
- 38:52it's very different working with an
- 38:53artist or someone like that who you've
- 38:55already asked me to and I rudely
- 38:56refused. Okay, it will be, it will be.
- 38:58Uh, I refused because they're regional
- 39:00Mexican, not to mention a band. I
- 39:02refused because of the time it would
- 39:04take, but he'll come back to me and
- 39:06we'll dress him. We'll dress him
- 39:07because he's a man.
- 39:08Oh, well, they do let you, well. No,
- 39:10well, they don't. And when it's an
- 39:12artist, of course, you have to do a
- 39:14fitting or a test. Why? Because it's
- 39:16for a stage, for a photo shoot, and
- 39:17they don't even try on more than a few
- 39:19things, right? But if it's for the
- 39:21stage, it's a different performance,
- 39:22but yes, there's not a lot of funny
- 39:23anecdotes between them. Photographers,
- 39:26stylists, that's why it's so important
- 39:28to work as a team, because you can
- 39:30quickly control those kinds of little
- 39:31details or they can lead to a client
- 39:33play-acting. Nobody wants that to
- 39:35happen. Nobody, we all think that the
- 39:36client is going to be happy. Yes. No,
- 39:38no, no.
- 39:38The good thing is that I don't have to
- 39:40deal with that. So, I'm happy and
- 39:41content with the stylists. Oh, okay,
- 39:44now I do. Vinal,
- 39:46when photographers arrive, you also say
- 39:48, "What's going on?"
- 39:50But I know that I'm not here, that my
- 39:51assistant is mostly here because I
- 39:53don't want them to feel watched or
- 39:55judged, that Karen is watching me take
- 39:57this photo for her to take it. Yes, I
- 39:59want them to arrive and feel that this
- 40:01is their studio and that they're free
- 40:02to go up, down, do whatever they want,
- 40:04put the lamp wherever they want without
- 40:06anyone judging them. I mean, then I'd
- 40:08be happy to, if you'd excuse me, they
- 40:10can stay at home.
- 40:11Yes, yes, yes. So, no, I want my
- 40:13assistant to give them all the
- 40:14attention. that they need.
- 40:16Yes. No, that's because there's a crowd
- 40:17at the session.
- 40:18Oh, that too.
- 40:19No, no,
- 40:20no. And it stresses them out too. I'm
- 40:22feeling
- 40:22hot again.
- 40:23The person who's modeling also gets
- 40:24stressed out. Why? Because many people
- 40:26are watching, it doesn't flow the same.
- 40:28It doesn't flow the same. It's better.
- 40:30No, but if most of them are watching
- 40:32and there's a scandal and the ones over
- 40:34there are looking away.
- 40:35Hey, they’re always the ones that
- 40:36things happen to, right? I always tell
- 40:37them, "Oh, look, if you want, stay here
- 40:39. No, I want to see here." Here, they
- 40:41knock something down, they cut
- 40:42themselves or, for example, when we go
- 40:43to the beach, the burner gets hot and I
- 40:45, but who brought you? Nobody. When you
- 40:48go to have your wedding session, just
- 40:50take the photographer, the stylist and
- 40:51the bride and groom, and it can be
- 40:53someone you trust, like, take care of
- 40:55my cell phone or you know what act.
- 40:58Because whoever goes with you is
- 40:59contagious, their attitude is
- 41:01contagious. I want to ask you a few
- 41:03more questions because we're going to
- 41:05wrap up. We're running out of time.
- 41:07They've got us under pressure here, we
- 41:09don't have time and there's so much
- 41:11more to tell.
- 41:12Part two, part two controversial.
- 41:14Yes, because she's the first stylist to
- 41:15come to the podcast, so there's a lot I
- 41:17want you to know. But we're going to a
- 41:19wedding, Luz. We're going to transport
- 41:21ourselves to a wedding. How long in
- 41:23advance do they need to hire you? What
- 41:25should the bride and groom take into
- 41:26account when
- 41:27planning a wedding photoshoot. I always
- 41:29tell them that if they're getting
- 41:31married, it's almost always 6 months
- 41:33before, Right? 6, 5 months for the
- 41:35invitations, because I missed that too,
- 41:37because most people work so they have
- 41:39time 6 months before. If you're going
- 41:41to hire me to dress you for a wedding
- 41:43that's for an event, I always tell them
- 41:44two weeks, I
- 41:45do it two weeks before too, I have a
- 41:47lot of fun. Why? Because here people
- 41:49dress horribly, horribly for weddings.
- 41:52Or if it's a beach wedding and they
- 41:53wear an outfit that has nothing to do
- 41:55with it. And it complicates things, it
- 41:57complicates them a lot. I always tell
- 42:00them when they tell them the formal
- 42:01dress is long, for men it's a suit, I
- 42:03mean, don't go around asking if I'm
- 42:04going to go, no, no, no, it's not long.
- 42:06I mean, I see it a lot at weddings that
- 42:08it's out of respect for the bride and
- 42:09groom. It's a mineral that they're
- 42:10spending so that you go badly dressed.
- 42:12It
- 42:12has all the...
- 42:13No, that's true. They always ask me if
- 42:15I'm criticizing. Never, but at my
- 42:16wedding I was very demanding about the
- 42:18time they had to go or at my birthday
- 42:20parties I was demanding when they told
- 42:21them I asked for a dress code. Now he
- 42:24asked for a black dress coat, but it
- 42:26said disco black and I said
- 42:29disco black. In what aspect? Oh, the
- 42:31one who is recording us was wearing
- 42:33white, guys. He was the only one but it
- 42:34doesn't matter because he gave me a
- 42:35monetary prize. It's...
- 42:37Ah, very good. He won me over
- 42:38with that. He
- 42:39says he didn't read it, he missed that
- 42:41the invite said white.
- 42:42Oh, and that's not what the people on
- 42:43GTP chat say, who have like a thousand
- 42:45pieces of information, a
- 42:46thousand letters. No, but I said disco
- 42:48black, how is that? Oh, man, well no
- 42:50more black, the light tells me. Black
- 42:52and it shines, but yes for weddings,
- 42:54honestly, guys, if it says formal, long
- 42:56and suit or tuxedo.
- 42:57So you also dress the guests, you can
- 42:59help them put together the outfits for
- 43:01the bridesmaids, of
- 43:02course. Sometimes you recommend the
- 43:04color palette, I recommend this and
- 43:07super cool.
- 43:08And when it's a wedding, you know my
- 43:10vogue is the beach, what do you
- 43:12recommend they wear? Oh, This, this,
- 43:14this and this. Also, when I go to the
- 43:16beach or the garden, it's fluid color,
- 43:18no heavy things and just have fun. And
- 43:21wear things that are going to be really
- 43:23hot. Otherwise, they walk around with
- 43:24sweaty, sticky butts like right now. I
- 43:27mean, they walk around with all sweaty
- 43:29or they wear really heavy things that
- 43:31are really heavy.
- 43:33Very heavy makeup. Hair, well, if you
- 43:35like it loose, that's up to you, but a
- 43:38little more combed. Yes, yes. Here at
- 43:40weddings, honestly, people arrive
- 43:42wearing hats, and men in jeans, that's
- 43:44my death. Women wear dresses that don't
- 43:47look bad, but they don't suit the
- 43:49occasion. Very, very important. And I
- 43:51tell them, one must respect the bride
- 43:53and groom because, well, right? So, you
- 43:55know, you have to hire your stylist 6
- 43:57months in advance. If it's such an
- 44:01important session, hire a stylist, the
- 44:03one you prefer, the one that goes with
- 44:05you, the one that goes with you. That's
- 44:09very important, hire a stylist. that
- 44:11they identify with what they work on.
- 44:13Oh, I like what they work on. That will
- 44:16translate into what you wear, right? Be
- 44:19very careful with those styles, that
- 44:21have torn things, fancy things and in
- 44:23the treatment. So be careful with that.
- 44:25So, listen carefully to the points that
- 44:28you have to take into account when
- 44:30hiring a stylist. Uh, more or less, how
- 44:34much does your service cost for two or
- 44:36three outfits? S
- 44:38for the looks. This one, right now, is
- 44:415800. I already leaned them, advice,
- 44:42detailing, uh, touch-ups if they want
- 44:44any changes, it can be done and also, I
- 44:46always tell them, behave well, I always
- 44:48make some surprise changes there.
- 44:52S 5800 and also they have all this good
- 44:54vibes in succession, the encouragement,
- 44:56they have fun, we gossip and the photos
- 44:58come out great. So, please, well, we
- 45:02are running out of time, or rather we
- 45:04have already run out, uh, we missed a
- 45:06lot here for say and unspeakable things
- 45:08, but if
- 45:09the angel is going to extort us here
- 45:12with that information, oh well.
- 45:15Luz, I'm delighted to have had you in
- 45:17this space, that you've been here with
- 45:19us today. It's always super fun to chat
- 45:23with you, you always learn something.
- 45:26Whenever I talk to you about fashion,
- 45:28about whatever you want, I also take
- 45:30away lessons from you. I know it's not
- 45:33easy to be where you are right now, at
- 45:35the point in your career where you are,
- 45:37where you're already recognized. I
- 45:38want to retire, I want to retire. No,
- 45:41well, you're going to put up with it
- 45:43longer because she's already a very
- 45:45recognized stylist, she's super cool,
- 45:47original, she has it all, she has it
- 45:49all and she gives it her all too.
- 45:52Oh, no, what a scandal. I'm going to
- 45:54leave here like a peacock,
- 45:55right? Really. So, also pay attention
- 45:58to punctuality, good service, treatment
- 46:00, everything, everything, everything.
- 46:03So, don't forget to hire a stylist and
- 46:05make sure they're what you want, that
- 46:08they're a responsible person and that
- 46:10they're solutions. It seems that
- 46:12Lustán arrived at the studio today.
- 46:15Relax, let yourselves be pampered and
- 46:17listen to what we tell you. It's not
- 46:19because sometimes we don't want to do
- 46:21things, it's so that things flow better
- 46:23, right?
- 46:23And everything goes super well. So you
- 46:25guys go with the flow, have fun, hire
- 46:27the one you prefer and yes, hire, uh,
- 46:29because then you want to hire them and
- 46:31that's when things go wrong.
- 46:33No, no, no. Hire. So, I hope you'll
- 46:36finish the whole podcast so that you
- 46:38know what to do, what not to do, what a
- 46:40stylist is, what to bring, what not to
- 46:42bring, what the costs may be and
- 46:44everything that happens sometimes.
- 46:47Hey, we'll have to do part two of the
- 46:49bad part. Now we'll talk about the good
- 46:51part.
