Philip Bloch

Philip Bloch, the ‘godfather’ of celebrity stylists, is credited with spotting the potential of allying celebrities with the fashion world two decades ago. The former Versace model’s trademark is drop-dead glamour. In his heyday in the late 1990s, he dressed virtually every A-list actress for red carpet frock fests globally. He once famously dressed 10 celebrities for Oscar night. "I was like Santa Claus trying to get round everyone," he recalls. Clients include Sandra Bullock, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, Jacqueline Bisset, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayeck and Jada Pinkett Smith. He now has a best-selling jewellery line, writes books and remains one of Hollywood’s premier fashion gurus.
