After 3 Decades in Fashion, Stylist Giannie Couji Is Ready for a More Inclusive Industry

was a teenager growing up in 1980s Paris, her decision to become a fashion stylist was far from the obvious career choice. “When I first heard the wordI actually didn’t even understand what it meant,” she says.

Couji’s career is, in itself, an education. After an early stint climbing up the ranks at the now defunctmagazine in Paris—“I was the person in charge of receiving and returning the clothes after the shoots, so it wasn’t very glamorous,” she notes—Couji befriended the legendary stylist and jewelry designer Judy Blame, who encouraged her to move to London. “I met Judy years before I moved to London through a friend of mine in Paris and we just clicked,” she remembers.

It’s this DIY spirit that has always underpinned her work and served as the backbone for her own magazine,which she launched in 2014 and is now on its 10th issue.
