If you’re familiar with some of fashion’s biggest stylists, chances are you know Shiona Turini. In fact, she appeared on our sister show, Second Life, in 2019, where she revealed how she was able to make the transition from major media titles like W Magazine and CR Fashion Book into freelance styling. A name that has become synonymous with impeccable style and creativity in the industry, Turini has a styling expertise and unique vision that quickly gained recognition, including her recent work with Beyoncé on the Renaissance World Tour and the Cowboy Carter transformation.

Turini’s talents extend beyond styling. She is also an accomplished costume designer. Her impressive portfolio includes wardrobing three seasons of HBO’s Insecure, designing the striking looks for Universal Pictures’ Queen & Slim, and, most recently, creating the period-accurate costumes for Apple TV+’s Lady in the Lake, starring Natalie Portman.

Her ability to source the perfect coats and garments for key plot points showcases her keen eye for detail and her understanding of how costume design can enhance storytelling.
