The mentor:CAMILL A LOW THER
Founder of CLM
From huge Louis Vuitton billboards to Nike
campaigns, you will have seen the work produced
by Lowther without necessarily knowing it.
The founder of one of the most powerful booking
agencies in the industry, Lowther represents iconic
and cutting-edge photographers such as Juergen
Teller, who has shot campaigns for Celine and
Marc Jacobs, and Paola Kudacki, who has captured
everyone from Lupita Nyong’o to Gal Gadot.The cult creator:
LEV TANJU
Founder of Palace
When a brand wants to
capture the eyes (and wallets)
of a younger audience, they
go to streetwear brand Palace.
Like Supreme before it, the
brand’s collaborations, which
include Adidas, Reebok and
Ralph Lauren, guarantee two
things: hype and instant sell-out.The sales-driver:
ANGEL ABABY
Actor and influencer
As the fourth person to reach 1OO
million fans on Weibo (China’s most
popular social media platform),
Angela Yeung Wing, otherwise
known as Angelababy, has more
power than most. Named Dior’s
first Chinese brand ambassador in
2O17, she is an essential player
in the industry’s desire to woo
Eastern consumers. What she
wears sells. And sells. And sells...IN THE FAMILY

KARL A WELCH
Celebrity stylist
When a look goes ‘viral’,
Welch is usually to thank. From
Justin Bieber’s reinvention to
the Golden Globes’ black
dress protest, Welch is behind
some of fashion’s most powerful
‘moments’. She also has the
ability to catapult her clients –
including Karlie Kloss – to the
top of every best-dressed list.ELLE.COM/UK September 2O19Camilla Lowther and Adwoa Aboah Karla WelchTracee Ellis RossLev Tanju AngelababyKarlie KlossKaty Perry
