Julia Obst, originally from Russia, has been an LA girl her entire life. After years of spending time on the LA social scene, she realized she should use her relationships and contacts and turn them into a profession.

From owning her own pr firms to working at the top pr firms in LA, she was a publicist for seventeen years.

With a passion for pop culture and fashion, she now works as a contributing editor at The Blonde and The Brunette and prides herself on always valet-ing and never carrying any cash. True story.

Jadan Danielle Huter has been surrounded by the arts throughout her whole life. With a family full of accomplished artists, a creative sense of style was always in the cards for this Brunette! She’s had the fortune of traveling to countless international fashion destinations, and met a wide variety of eccentric crazies! Being exposed to so many diverse cultures at such a young age has helped mold her into the fashion forward thinker she is today.

She doesn’t limit herself to one particular style, and she’s not afraid to be bold. Her range of fashion is derived from whatever she feels like at the particular moment. Her closet ranges from high fashion, to vintage, to modern…she believes pairing these three together gives you the perfect look. Her youthful eye, creative mind, old soul and “finger on the pulse” mentality, helps her stay relevant in this ever changing world of fashion.

A Seattle native, Lauren Cheek, also known as The Blondette, ventured down to Los Angeles in hopes of emerging into the fashion industry. It was her passion and drive that then lead her to The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise in downtown LA. After recently graduating, she continues to pursue her innate passion for the industry by continuing to evolve as a creative; styling for multiple shoots and events, keenly designing graphics, and aggressively following current trends and designers. She’s always in touch her native west-coast style and tends to gravitate towards that “effortlessly cool” look. From street style to runway, Lauren is always pulling inspiration that blends into her daily life, and translates into her everyday style. She adores her beloved pup James Dean, and Watermelon Sour Patch Kids are her weakness.

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA, Rachael’s career in fashion began at a young age working as a buyer and marketing director for her family’s swimwear store, curating fashion shows/events and photoshoots as well as assisting local stylists and eventually launching an online active wear store of her own. Always feeling drawn to the fast paced energy of the city and the creative inspiration she felt here in LA, Rachael decided to make the move from her little beach bubble to pursue other endeavors in the industry. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Rachael began to pursue projects in marketing and brand/artist development as well as creative direction and curating for a number of labels, designers, and photographers in both menswear and women’s fashion. With a passion for punk rock, independent films, old literature, and art museums, Rachael pulls her style inspiration from the same areas that fuel her creative projects. Combining vintage, high-fashion pieces, and relaxed menswear inspired silhouettes, Rachael’s personal style could best be described as rock n’ roll meets streetwear with a little 70’s action. Her favorite designers are Demna Gvasalia (Vetements & Balenciaga), Hedi Slimane (Saint Laurent), and Alexander Wang…and she believes you can never have too many black leather jackets.
