OWN star Evelyn Lozada continues to stun as rolling out’s cover girl. So to delve deeper into the magic of the moment, we decided to sit down for a little chat with Casey ‘Icon’ Billingsley, who expertly styled the shoot. A longtime stylist in the industry, the man affectionately known as ‘Icon’ in industry circles gave rolling out the inside scoop on what it was like to style the ‘Livin Lozada’ star. 


How did you approach styling Evelyn for this shoot?


Well, Evelyn has a bit of flare to her personality, so I wanted to play that up. She’s curvy and sensual, so I wanted to implement feminine pieces that would accentuate all of those qualities.

What was your favorite feature to bring out in her?


I am totally in love with Evelyn’s face. It all starts there for me, as she is absolutely stunning—flawless actually. Also, her legs are a rare find … full, blemish free and stallion like. She has an incredible build.

How important is the collaborative process on set with the entire team?

Energy is everything. There is nothing that I admire more than collaborating with like-minded individuals while creating. It allows for amazing things to be birthed.

When working with celebrities, how important is the first impression when they first lay their eyes on the clothes?

First impressions are colossal. I mean, I have been styling for a while and to this day I am always slightly nervous before shoots, because I want that initial impression to transcend. I have a background in visual merchandising so I like to have things set up as if it were a storefront. Crazy I know, but it allows the client to really get a feel for the inspiration.

Let’s delve into the looks from this shoot.
