Welcome to Styled by Gianni - The storyteller's stylist
Ashley's Story
My love for fashion and the art of playing dress-up was born at an early age.
I produced my first fashion photoshoot at eight years old. I’m not kidding! When my Mom asked how I wanted to celebrate my 8th Birthday, I told her that I wanted a “Dress Up Party”!!
“A Dress Up Party? What’s that?”, she inquired. I proceeded to lay out the plans for my “Glamour Fashion Photoshoot Birthday Extravaganza”!
My Mom, the OG fashionista, has always indulged my creativity! So, off she went to rent a big box of vintage goodies from the local thrift, decked out our sunroom, and turned it into a photography studio! My besties and I spent the day getting dolled up, picking out outfits from the vintage treasure chest, getting our hair and makeup done, and posing for pictures like Supermodels!
My Mom and Aunt served as the Glam Squad, Mom Head of Wardrobe, my Aunt our family photographer, and they Co-Headed Hair and Makeup! It was a full-blown production!!! Produced by 💁♀️
It's no surprise that decades later, I'm still playing dress-up!
As an award-winning actor, writer, and filmmaker myself, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a Wardrobe and Certified Personal Stylist.
I’ve served as Head of Wardrobe on several award-winning independent films, commercials, and promos dressing celebrity talent such as Denise Richards, Jerry Ferrara, and Bobby Moynihan. I’ve worked with brands such as Netflix and Crayola, and currently serve as the Wardrobe Coordinator for Mattel, Inc.
I’m a sustainably conscious, creative stylist passionate about helping fellow filmmakers and storytellers feel empowered and confident through fashion, allowing them to shine in the spotlight and bring their authentic voice to every aspect of their career!
It is my goal to help you tell your story and grow your presence and brand within the independent film world and beyond!
