INSIDE ASTRIDLAND
I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of people say they missed their calling. Well Astrid Brucker clearly didn’t miss hers. This amazing New York based fashion stylist and designer has styled and stitched her way to the top.
Since Astrid was little, she has always had an eye for color and silhouette. If she wasn’t drawing, which came natural to her, she was busy collecting images in collage-like inspiration books.
Astrid traded in New York University to attend Parsons and obtain her BFA in Fashion Design. She began designing clothes at the school for other people. She started her own line when she needed a dress to wear to her movie premiere for “Joshua” (the 2007 thriller starring Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga). Astrid was also interested in styling, and assisted other stylists working on commercials and magazine editorials.
Astrid is the costume designer for numerous films and TV shows, and her work has been featured in various international ad campaigns. She has styled and adorned many influential celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Lauren Hutton, Eva Mendes, Faye Dunaway, Tim Curry and others, with her brilliant designs.
After making her mark in the industry, Astrid launched her own collection ASTRIDLAND, which includes dresses, accessories and jewelry.
Astrid gets much of her inspiration from NYC, ballet, movies, nature, traveling the world, the ocean waves, and going to see gallery shows.
The beauty of inspiration is that it comes in many forms; you just have to keep your eyes open to discover it. Astrid’s latest work that you see in this article was inspired by Lady Gaga. Of course I can’t leave you without giving you a few words from the stylist about the concept of the shoot.
“More is more – the idea was to go beyond the ordinary and layer clothing and jewelry. For example, I used necklaces to look like bangs and voluminous shapes to create a gaga world.”
