Atiba is one of the industry’s top celebrity stylists who will be featured on Oxygen’s “House of Glam” this Fall.
Define glam.
Glam … well, [it’s] anything that’s glamorous, anything with glitz, and anything that demands the spotlight.
Which fashion essential would you never be caught without?
Underwear, I can’t go commando. It would be a sausage party!
What was your biggest fashion faux pas or beauty misstep?
Back in the day I used to push the envelope really hard. Everything had to be designer and most of my clothes were fitted. Looking back at it now, I looked NUTS! Tight leather Gucci pants, Versace coats with big fur collars—I was bugging! There’s a fine line between fashion and foolish …I crossed it.
If you could work with our latest fashion icon, First Lady Michelle Obama, where would you start?
I love Mrs. Obama’s style, and I don’t think I would change a thing. I would stick with the blueprint she has now and just add my style to it. You know what they say: “If it’s not broken…”
What is the biggest catwalk to sidewalk fashion trend for this fall?
The biggest catwalk to sidewalk trend this year is bold colors! This Fall’s colors have a lot more pop to it.
White after Labor Day, yes or no?
Yes, you can do white after Labor Day.
Where can you go and find the best deals in fashion/beauty?
Vintage stores or Army Navy.
