Misa Hylton

For over twenty-five years, Misa Hylton has been at the forefront of seismic shifts in fashion, music, and culture. She is acclaimed for reshaping the fundamentals of style within R&B and Hip-Hop culture and transforming them into something entirely new, bold, and a defining signature of how an entire generation dressed in the 1990s. Her skill for capturing an unforgettable moment while setting the stage for what everyone will want to wear next are immortalized in iconic looks from Lil’ Kim at MTV’s 1999 VMAs to Beyoncé’s leather MCM bustier and trench coat for the 2018 video “Apeshit”. So beloved was her custom designed MCM look for Beyoncé that its image was used for the international ad campaign of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s “Everything is Love” album. Misa has conceived groundbreaking styles for the world’s biggest celebrities - including Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Missy Elliott, Faith Evans, Sean Combs, and Kimora Lee Simmons. She has collaborated with major brands such as Pepsi, Viacom, Amazon, and the NFL. Her trend setting work has appeared at red carpet events, in videos and the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Essence, and Instyle. Today she continues to revolutionize fashion at various levels - collaborating with MCM as global creative partner for her own soon-to-launch capsule collection, styling private celebrity clients, featuring as a commentary subject in two documentaries on music epochs, and teaching a new generation of stylists at her Misa Hylton Fashion Academy and professional studies courses at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Misa continues to transcend categories by constantly defining then re-defining modern style.
