Natalie Newquist  

Natalie Newquist

I am an LA based wardrobe stylist, a Southern California Native. My work consists of editorial and commercials. At a very young age I had an eye for beauty, which ultimately fed my hunger for fashion. I draw inspiration from music, photography, and architecture. I love to mix different textiles with unexpected pieces either drawn from vintage finds or the timeless pieces in your closet. To me, fashion is a genuine expression of self.
