“When I’m brought into an advertising campaign it’s because the clients want me to bring my documentary storytelling experience to capture an authentic moment in time that gets the reader to stop turning pages to look at the image and ad. Not so easy, which is why I always turn to Juliette to make the impossible possible. Regardless of budget, deadlines, creative requirements, rain or shine, Juliette has never failed to rise up and nail the campaign.

There are tons of stylists who will follow the client’s input and pull the usual, safe and easily approved looks that we see everyday. Then there is Juliette, an artist in her own right, who quickly solves the client needs, putting them at ease, but then seeks to go further. She collaborates with the photographer to imagine a unique personality and back story for each talent in the shot, digging deep with wit, imagination and true genius to elevate the whole production with her styling. For me this is crucial, as I need to create reality as I work more like a film director then a photographer. She inspires me and surprises me continuously which makes working with her such a joy. She puts her heart and soul into every shoot, cares way too much than is healthy, and works harder than anyone on the set.

At the end of each shoot, we look at each other in amazement at what was accomplished, but really, all I did was push the shutter. When I see Juliette and her team pushing around giant racks of hundreds of clothes, running back and forth to bring it all together it takes my breath away. And she does it with laughter and grace, making everyone on the set comfortable. That’s why if you are thinking about becoming a stylist, Juliette is the one you want to follow. The knowledge and insight you will get spending 10 days with her is stuff you won’t get at FIDM during the entire curriculum.”

Doug Menuez – Int’l Still Photographer & Film Maker

 

“Juliette was my stylist and costumer for many years. Even though I love her and she is a great friend, I always consider the work to be the thing and I do no favors. I want the best and I got the best with Juliette. She was collaborative but always had a distinct POV that reflected her superb taste and understanding of character and message. I would entrust her to style and design my work even without my approval. She is simply “the best”.”

Robert Lieberman – Award Winning Film & Commercial Director

 

“As a producer, I have hired & worked with Juliette for almost 10 years. In this business, loyalty is given for one reason only – to a team player you can totally rely on to consistently deliver awe inspiring results above and beyond the call of duty.

She is one of the most creative & brilliant stylists in the business – she has the panache of a Parisian combined with the steely resolve and focus of a Navy Seal.
And her job wrapping skills are more than a producer could wish for – she knows her stuff, and that’s why I always come back to her.

Juliette’s wealth of knowledge and years of experience are “priceless” – take her boot camp before she realizes she’s giving away all her secrets!”

Ellen Erwitt – Producer

 

“The expertise and ‘chill’ of Juliette is always welcome in this high intensity world of making celebs look Fabulous and Camera Ready!

Working with Madonna and Beyonce’ to Robert Downey Jr.,…. it definitely takes a strong team. Juliette will always be on the team! If you’re seriously thinking of becoming a Stylist, run, don’t walk to sign up for Juliette’s bootcamp!”

Damone Roberts – Make Up Artist

 

“Juliette is an exceptional fashion stylist with incredible taste. She brings brilliant ideas to every shoot and is always easy and fun to work with. I always know that whatever creative project I’m working on, Juliette will help make the finished product that much better. She is energetic and clients love her.”

Sue Boivin – Advertising Creative Director

 

“A delight to work with, Juliette Smith is not only professional and extremely talented, but she is also reliable, personable and resourceful. In addition to our principal actors, she wardrobed 30+ on-camera extras within a tight budget and over a number of rigorous days of filming. Our collaboration resulted in prize-winning productions with a rich look and timeless appeal.”
