bio: In the past five years, this self-taught New Yorker has transitioned from a punk-rock makeup artist to a sought-after leather and denim guru by some of Rock n’ Roll’s elite. Stella’s fashion inspiration comes from her lifestyle in New York City and she has a strong work ethic and a “no bull” mantra. She describes herself as outgoing, funny, blunt, and caring. Her best fashion advice is not to blend in and not to let your clothes wear you.
