Seeking opportunities to work on cover shoots, Hollywood movies and music videos
Sarah has curated print magazine covers and fashion and lingerie advertorial campaigns for the likes of Guess, Marciano, Esquire, FHM and Oxygen, as well as special lingerie editions for Flex, Muscle and Fitness.
Sarah was head of wardrobe at Playboy Magazine for three years, focusing on celebrity covers. She’s known for designing an ambitious cover featuring Pamela Anderson, inspired by the 1960 classic, La Dolce Vita. Born in Rome where the movie was filmed, Sarah was perfect for the inspired issue.
These styling talents have remained in constant demand for anybody interested in bringing a stylish and desirable look to life in print TV, film or at events. Not only does Sarah have experience in production and design, but is well known for leading styling and shoots.
Experienced in design, wardrobe styling and art direction
Sarah’s work on entertainment, advertising projects and promotional materials includes Billboards, Bacardi, Crown Royal, Budweiser and the Lingerie Bowl, as well as major calendars and cigarette company advertisements.
Throughout her career, Sarah’s designed and manufactured thousands of looks including promotional clothing and uniforms, most famously for Miller Light.
Working on an ambitious Guess advertising campaign Sarah’s shorts were later sold by the fashion giant. While working on Playboy’s Lingerie Bowl Special feature, Sarah’s designed shorts were used throughout, becoming a popular addition to her Musotica fitness line.
Reflecting on her career, Sarah said: “Being a stylist in this fast-paced industry has allowed me to quickly identify what’s missing in the marketplace, and create designs and/or direct shoots that meet my clients specific and diverse project needs.
“I began designing and sourcing hard-to-find fashions that would look incredible. I created my own fitness and swimsuit lines simply because I couldn’t find exactly what I needed for my clients, which include celebrities, directors and photographers.”
An entrepreneurial spirit and her own fashion business
Musotica allowed Sarah to design and handpick from her own collections, ideal for her industry production and styling work.
With limited capital, Sarah selectively added items while expanding her initial collection, clothes she felt would stand the test of time, sticking to strict and friendly budgets.
“A Playboy cover needs to be timeless for at least 10 years, and that’s how I began designing. Sure, I add colors and fabrics, but my core styling remains the same,” she said.
It wasn’t long before companies sought out Sarah’s expertise and knowledge, as well as Musotica’s collections for cover shoots, projects, appearances and promotional events.
Sarah added: “Production and advertising agencies trust my keen eye for selling through styling alongside my professional wardrobe styling experience.”
