Can you please introduce yourself, who is Kristina Gisors?
My name is Kristina, I'm a freelance stylist from Paris.
I was born and raised in the City of lights,
My mom is from Guadeloupe and my father from Africa.
I have a masters in Cinema. and I originally wanted to be a costume designer for cinema.
When did you start working as a stylist?
After my studies, I took some sewing classes... I then became a dresser for Jean-Paul Gauthier, Chanel and Paco Rabanne. I was also a costume designer for a few theater and dance companies, worked for a press office then a buying office (Bergdorf Goodman, Lane Crawford).
I officially started as a stylist 2 years ago and my first shoot was with Alice Dellal.
Who is your favorite designer or brand and why?
OMG there are so many designers that I like...
Here are my picks for Spring/Summer 2010:
NYC
Alexander Wang: for his cool sportwear, downtown NYC look
Paris
Alexander Mc Queen: for his creativity he's just beyond earth
London
Mark Fast: for his knitted, little, tiny dresses and for the fact that he's stepped up the game by choosing plus size models
Shoes
Atalanta Weller: for her futuristic feminine vision
Men
James Long: for his audacious choice of colours and his accessories

Is a there a celebrity male or female you would like to work with?
I'd love to work with La Roux - my friend NoVA Dando is her stylist.
I also like Lykke li, VV Brown, Janelle Monae ! It would be great to work with Dutch singer Eva Simons too!
What projects are you working on now?
My own TV show, please keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm also styling Vitaa - French R'nB songstress based in Paris !
What did you want to be or do when growing up?
I dont' really remember... I think, I wanted to be a professional dancer or to own a shop.
Now that I'm old, LOL, I'm 28... I dont know, I would love to own a magazine, a shop, a man, a dog and a house !
What's playing on you Ipod these days?
Miike Snow, Jack Penate, Passion Pit, Santogold, Mapei, Vv Brown, Janelle Monae
Give us some of the trends for this Fall?
Biker style, leather, transparent, studs, eighties and suits
Lady Gaga meets Grace Jones meets Bjork. Fashion, this Fall is very extreme!
What is, according to you, the must-have item (s) of this Fall?
The must have item will be shoulders pads -as well as knee pads.
Just take an old leather or jeans jacket, add a pair shoulder pads, some studs or safety pins et voilà !
Thanks for the tips Kristina; your work rocks!

Your favorite designer or brand and why?
There is not one, but several; Maison Martin Margiela, Gareth Pugh, House of Holland, Opening Ceremony, Pierre Hardy, Hedi Slimane....
How would you define your style?
Eclectic!!!! Maybe be low key one day and super high end the next one
What did you want to be or do when growing up?
Studying hard and partying, like everyone ;-)))
What's playing on you ipod these days?
BATTANT!! I am a huge fan!! And Peter Doherty’s last album...

Dressing the part
The word "snobbery" came into use for the first time in England during the 1820s. It was said to have derived from the habit of many Oxford and Cambridge colleges writing sine nobilitate (without nobility), or "s.n.o.b," next to the names of ordinary students on examination lists in order to distinguish them from their aristocratic peers.
- Status Anxiety (BOOK)
Funny, without status the complete opposite of today's meaning. S.N.O.B someone offended by the lack of high status in others.
