My name is Illysia Neumann-Loreck. I grew up in New York City but have lived all over including Boston, Philadelphia and even Hong Kong. I’ve been interested in fashion since I was in diapers. Everyone thought I was just speaking baby talk, but I was really explaining how to accessorize my ensemble.
Fast forward to now. I’m a fashion stylist, and I have worked backstage at over 70 shows during New York Fashion Week executing looks for labels such as Badgley Mischka, Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria Beckham, Project Runway, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Custo Barcelona, Prabal Gurung, Joseph Altuzarra, Rebecca Taylor, Zac Posen and others.
I have been on TV to showcase trends, and I style fashion for magazine photo shoots. I also write fashion articles for magazines on topics including body types, color, trends, accessories, shopping and more. I have been quoted in newspapers, magazines and I have appeared in fashion videos for Ehow.com. My career is multi-faceted, but it is all about being stylish.
