Within the realm of ever fleeting fashion lies a beacon of eternal coolness, and her name is Mecca Cox. Known in inner circles as the stylist with the Midas touch (if Midas was into vintage denim), Mecca’s ability to turn thrift store finds into red-carpet-worthy looks has made her an iconic stylist for those in the know.Â
The early days of her niche were carved out in front of the camera, collaborating with the crème de la crème of stylists and photographers. Her modeling portfolio consists of the glossiest pages in the fashion world – think Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue Italia, and that one issue of V you pretend to read at the dentist's office. And when she eventually took the leap from posing to composing, she pivoted her focus towards collaborating with designers whose work transcends mere aesthetics, embodying a powerful message and a vision for a progressive shift within the fashion industry. With a rolodex of clients that reads like a guest list for the world’s most enviable dinner party, she orchestrates the kind of sartorial choices that make fashion’s elite sit up and take notice. Mecca’s authenticity and appreciation of what it means to be truly present, though, digs deep in a place that otherwise seems to only skim the surface of reality.
