About
My name is Erica Lloyd, I am an optimistic, selfless, servant to fashion. I just graduated from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications and Rhetorical Studies. Now is the time for me to pursue my dream of working in the fashion industry.
I am a freelance wardrobe stylist that has assisted celebrity stylist June Ambrose. Working for June was similar to the movie “The Devil Wears Prada.” I ran from store to showroom picking up and dropping off $10,000+ garments. I have worked on projects for Jay Z, Neo, Jermaine Dupri, Ciara, and Fantasia. I am a self-starter and I have great organizational and communication skills but most of all I am willing to learn and pride myself on being a team player with a can-do attitude.
I have had an appreciation for fashion since the age of 13 when I picked up my first copy of Vogue. A few of my dreams include launching a fashion publicity firm, opening a clothing boutique, creating a makeover television show, styling for substantial clients, and writing a book about my journey through the fashion industry. I want to expand my knowledge of every aspect of the industry.
Aside from this fashion and social savvy, I am business minded and understand the power of networking. I take every opportunity to learn about my prospective clients or investors and focus on making the connection. I have attained contacts for various departments in every field of media and fashion from positions listed on my resume. This includes showrooms, celebrity makeup artists, celebrity stylists, and national television, radio, and print outlets.
