Young Hollywood

I gotta say you are always, always styling.

Style Tips

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Young Hollywood

What would you call your personal style?

Style Tips

It's just mine, whatever I feel like, you know. It's me being comfortable with myself. But learning myself over the years of just like trying different things and, you know, not scared to try stuff. You know.

Young Hollywood

What's the biggest fashion mistake you think you've ever committed?

Style Tips

I don't know if I, 'cause you know, you know, a lot of the stuff that I did was like, you know, like with the criss-cross backwards jeans and everything like I don't, a lot of stuff people might have thought was like dangerous for them, worked for me so.

Young Hollywood

You somehow just make it work.

Style Tips

It's to make it work.

Young Hollywood

So what brings you out tonight? You're a very stylish woman.

Style Tips

This amazing store. It's a very stylish store, so I had to make sure I came out and supported.

Young Hollywood

Well, you walk the red carpets. You know what it takes to look like this. Do you have a styling tip for everyone at home?

Style Tips

Make sure you stay true to your own style. That is most important 'cause that's what's gonna take you to the next level. If you keep following these trends, and it's gonna keep you to a dead end. So I would just say, do you and it'll just all work out.

Young Hollywood

And how much damage to your credit card are you going to be doing tonight?

Style Tips

Oh, I will buy it all. I love everything here. It's amazing.

Young Hollywood

Can we get you to twirl for us real quick?

Young Hollywood

I'm with April and Arell, owners of The Wardrobe Department. Well, congratulations, ladies.

April

Thank you. We've been styling for 20 years, so in between getting the store together, we were actually working with our clients. So we wanted to create a space where they could come, they could do fittings, they could shop while they're here in a comfortable environment. We wanted to make it really sexy. So not only do we style the racks, so you can't go wrong if you shop the rack because everything goes together. But then we're also there to say, "Oh, no, you need to do like this."

Young Hollywood

Tell me how you went about curating for the store.

Arell

We bought everything that we like. It's like our uniform. So we wear this stuff every day and we put it on our clients and it's like highs and lows and mix and match. So it was easy when we went to shop.

Young Hollywood

You talk the talk, you rock the walk, right? You've worked with some of the biggest names in music. What's the number one thing, the number one styling tip that you can share with everybody, as style insiders, as celebrity stylists?

April

It has a lot to do with being confident in what you wear. So whatever you put on, like you wear the clothes, don't let the clothes wear you.

Young Hollywood

Thank you so much, ladies. Well, I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely ready for a fashion makeover. Because hey, who doesn't need a little help from The Wardrobe Department?
