Today we’d like to introduce you to Anthony Chad.
Hi Anthony, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted to work in the fashion and entertainment industry. My family would often tell me stories of me being a toddler picking out head-to-toe trendy looks, judging women’s clothing in public, and even styling hair. As a kid I would wake up every morning to watch Lauren Ezersky on the Style Network. Lauren would go behind the scenes at fashion weeks worldwide, the hottest parties, and even socialized with all the celebrities. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up.
Fast forward to 2008, I was fresh out of high school, and had been interning for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Bryant Park (The Golden Days). I was living “ The Life” and had made my way in the industry as a socialite. It hadn’t dawned on me until my later years that all of those visualizations, daydreams, dressing people up, speaking what I wanted into the universe, praying and putting in the work for what I wanted. I had manifested exactly the life I dreamed of at such a young age. I even got the chance to meet my idol Lauren Ezersky while backstage at Bryant Park. I couldn’t believe it. In my head I thought “Mama I Made It.” I had met so many people while working and attending the shows, among the many were Kim Kardashian, Solanage Knowels, Betsy Johnson, Paris Hilton plus more.
Throughout the years, I’ve been able to land major projects. Having the opportunity to design costumes for Fendi, collaborate with other cool brands like True Religion, Dr. Marten and H&M. I’ve styled some of my favorite celebrities and Influencers like Lisa Rinna, Claudette Ortiz, Charlie Baltimore, Bria Myles and the list continues. To date, my work has been featured by top-tier media outlets like New York Times. VH1, BET, MTV, GQ Magazine, Vogue Italia, and counting.
I have had one hell of a journey from super up’s to terrible lows; however, throughout it all, even on days when I just felt I couldn’t go on, I fought to stay strong. My faith in God and his power that dwells within me has helped me out tremendously. I’ve integrated more spirituality and spiritual practices into my life and it has changed my life forever. I encourage mind, body, and spirit wellness. Eating more vegetables, drinking more water, prayer, meditation, self-love, positive self-talk & affirmations, journaling, and setting intentions are all the things that have led to my full-body, mind, and spirit elevation. I’m back in rotation and better than ever before. I’ve decided that it’s finally time to take a step in front of the camera and start shining my own light, upgrading my own career just like the many careers I have helped to create. I’m welcoming in newness and all the blessings coming my way. I have so many exciting projects on the way. From collaborating with your favorite celebrities to using my intuitive, light working and healing gifts to upgrade my clients from the inside out. I am a walking testimony. If some of the things I mentioned helped transform my thinking and perception, I believe it can help many others too.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It hasn’t been a smooth ride. There were plenty of good times. However, I have had way more challenging times in my pursuit to follow my dreams. I’ve learned that all of the changes, re-directions, losses, pain, backstabbing and more were all a part of my purpose. I have had to learn some hard lessons but without those challenges, I wouldn’t be able to help others who may be going through what I’ve gone through. And also to know how to handle and protect myself, my business, and my energy. I’ve also learned that patience is truly a virtue and that when one door closes, no matter relationship, job, client, etc. A bigger and better door has always presented itself to me.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My company Anthony Chad Styles, is a full-service lifestyle and image consulting firm. Anthony Chad Styles specializes in talent and brand development and management. We help talent and brands connect the dots and provide services that help elevate their business. Whether it’s celebrity seeding and press activations, marketing, fashion styling, photography, micromanagement and more. Myself and my team are dedicated to creating lucrative success for our clients.
What sets us apart from most lifestyle and management firms is that we truly care and sympathize with our clients. Not only do we help them plan and prepare to crush their goals. We do our part in making sure that our clients are mentally and physically ready for the road ahead. We assure this with our positive self-image and mindfulness practices.
I believe that my purpose and my team’s purpose is to serve the greater good. We truly enjoy helping our clients grow from the inside out. Filling voids and generating abundance. Although most of our work is with macro-influencers and VIP clients, we do not discriminate. We actually love working with small businesses, professional individuals and anyone interested in taking themselves to a new level.
Any big plans?
Personally, for the future, I plan on merging into alternative areas like acting and even maybe dropping some music. Before I leave this earth, I want to make sure I have no regrets. I am working to successfully achieve my goals and aspirations that I set for myself. We have limitless opportunities in our lifetime and I will not limit myself. People will tell you to pick a focus, do this and do that. I choose and encourage that you only listen to the source of power within you and follow the unstoppable path that’s already written for you.
I am also passionate about intercity children and charity work. I love to inspire people and help them see and think their way out of undeserved situations. One day I want to have a chain of affordable living facilities for the homeless and under served youth.
