Have you seen It’s a Brad Brad World? What’d you think?
What? You don’t know Brad? Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. I’ll catch you up.
Brad G is the former assistant stylist to Rachel Zoe. Rachel Zoe is a stylist to the stars (say it like you mean it), who, thanks to her reality TV show, has become more famous than the stars she styles.
Today, I want to republish – and to have it translated in english for the first time ! – that text I wrote in …2007 about my life as a free lancer. You’ll see that I was totally lazy my working methods have changed drastically !

I’m freelance so I work a lot at home. How else would I be able to blog at the weirdest hours of the day? What? You blog from work ? Noooooooo…
Luckily for me, my cat gets up early. Right at the crack of dawn, I’m pulled out of bed by my gross gracious hungry feline. I put on some old jogging pants elegant and casual outfit, I drink an espresso a fresh squeezed OJ, and make a nice little breakfast looking at my e-mail out at the sea.
After pillaging the magazine rack down the block doing some yoga, I fall asleep in the bath take an enlivening shower; I dry off looking through some blogs at my planner. For hours later, totally guilt ridden with a sense of accomplishment, I make a few phone calls.
My friends, I’ve discovered the most amazing thing and I know what you’re going to tell me:
Seriously, we’ve been telling you about it for the past 12,000 years. Where have you been, Garance?
Well, It all started when I lopped off all my hair.
I’m wishing you a most wonderful 2012. Did you have fun New Year’s Eve?
This year, I only made one resolution, but it’s so granola I’m not sure I’m gonna tell you…
Wait, whaddya mean granola?
Hey Garance ! Even though I like my eyebrows well enough, I’d like to “civilize” their line a little bit. What do you do to keep them in line? Do you do it yourself or do you go to someone?
Merci! Chloé.
Hello Chloé!
I pluck them myself and have ever since… I dunno, around 13? At the time, I wouldn’t have asked the question as to whether or not to do it myself or go see someone : I was hiding in my mother’s bathroom to do it because I thought plucking your eyebrows is something you should be suuuuuper ashamed about.
Let me say just one thing : Parisians don’t party like New Yorkers party. And vice versa. After extensive analysis, I’ve got a theory… It comes down to this:
The Parisian night is private. The New York night is public.
I had to deal with the cultural gap even before I moved to New York. It happened when, one night, I was out at the Boom Boom Room and I told a friend about my project of moving here.
Flashback. It was about 345 years ago that I told you, after following the advice of my dermatologist, I was going to stop using water on my face.
And this is coming from me who loves nothing more than to lather on my cleansers morning and night, clearing away any trace of mean mean sebum (Mean!!! Mean sebum!) which has been my sworn enemy since I turned 13 and a half years old. I was hopeless.
From Kaysi : Garance!!! Do you have any advice for creating a minimalist, functional, and fabulous wardrobe?
Mmmm… Kaysi, even if I dream of having a minimalist, functional, and fabulous wardrobe, most mornings I find myself buried under a mountain of clothes – outfits literally falling on top of me – I can never find anything and everything’s lost.
I usually just end up wearing the last thing I bought (right now, a pair of grey jeans and Fratelli Rossetti shoes) just because they’re on top of the pile.
That said, I could never dare to imagine just how happy I would be if every time I opened my closet, I found the following clothes, folded neatly and organized by color:
