“I started styling when I was 16, making little photo shoots with my friends.”   For @karolynpho, creativity started early. The in-demand stylist recalls a childhood spent creating her first magazine (when she was 10), styling vintage clothes with her friends, and feeling inspired by the looks she saw on MTV. (“I love the Aaliyah music videos,” she says.)   Now twenty years later, she’s come a long way. First paying her dues with internships, then working for various editors and designers, and finally breaking out on her own with commercial work and editorials in everything from the New York Times, to Vogue, to Interview. Whether she’s dressing Mikey Madison or David Letterman, her styling always feels confident and effortless — informed by whatever’s in the cultural zeitgeist at the moment.   “I look at music. Movies. I never thought I liked Bob Dylan’s style until I saw the recent film, and I realized, oh, this is incredible,” Karolyn says. “I also get inspiration from travel, just being in a city and seeing how the people are dressing. It’s all about the people and culture. What’s happening now.”   We followed Karolyn around New York for the day, as part of our series celebrating artists within the Gap community. Exploring creatives in their element — with a strong point of view, and a strong sense of style.   Shot by @maddyrotman   #IamGap
