Female Founders_Soleil Magazine_Iss5
Editor In Chief- Svetlana Blasucci Art Director- Tatiana Ayazo A magazine that isn’t just something to look at. A safe place to be free with your words and art. Soleil started as Clinic Magazine but changed to be closer to the sun. Light is in every word, image and line created in each issue. Ask questions, we welcome them. There are so many unseen artists and my mission is to bring them to the light. Expose them even if they don’t want to be. Challenge them and ask the real reason why art found them. We forget sometimes and get jaded by the recognition. I wanted to make something sprinkled with a little bit of this and that. Every theme falls under a category people tend to not appreciate. Soleil Magazine is for the underdogs. I spend most of time finding artists through the biggest artists. It’s amazing what you can find on Instagram, it’s like a dictionary for artists, just got to find them.

Upcoming projects...
I’m currently working on a
behind the scenes book about styling so I’ve
been focusing a lot of my time on it. I’m currently
working with Vogue Greece (Greece is where
I was born) on some beauty and fashion covers
and I couldn’t be any prouder. I have a cover for
the October issue we just completed that I
cannot wait to share. Working with Fred Leighton
on their fall catalog. I’m doing a special with Louis
Vuitton for resort which should be pretty
spectacular. I just styled a couple of videos for
Gucci beauty and Chanel accessories.
What you love about being a female founder/
owning your own company....
Being able to produce the kind of content I want
on my terms and having the resources to do so.
It’s not about being power hungry but using what
you have to make the most of it.
Putting in what you get back into your business.
Collaborating with people at all levels emerging,
established up and coming, meeting new
people and the collaboration process. I feel like
women are having quite a moment now and are
being more recognized for their work in the
industry as they should have always been so I am
very happy about.
Advice to other stylists/ how to find work and
where to look...
Don’t be in a rush. Spend time honing your craft
and figuring out your aesthetic. Do things
ethically and morally. Work on building
important key relationships. It’s better to have a
few solid clients that rebook you for years then
a million one hit one offs that never book you
again. Don’t get too hung up on what everyone
else is doing. Everyone’s path is different.
Don’t assume success has come overnight.
I myself have spent over 10 years getting to where
I am now and it’s still a struggle everyday I hustle
from 5 am till 9pm. Always be honest. It will bite
you later on. Most of my jobscome through referrals
that’s why it’s so important to have a good
reputation.
I’m the nicest person
in the world. I will
literally give you the
shirt of my back if you
need it.
