Remember last year when we blogged about Margaret Maldonado. Yes the article discussed her life after Jermaine Jackson but mostly the article talked about the agency she founded, which is a leading agency for celebrity stylists or top stylists who work with celebrities. Well, Simone Harouche is one of the top stylists on her books and she was responsble for Christina Aguilera’s fierce album cover for her latest CD Bionic. Margaret sure is doing her thing. You go girl!

Zaldy has been honing his skills since the late 1990s, when he and his partner-in-costume Mathu Anderson were fixtures on the New York club scene. Zaldy’s early get-ups are now the stuff of legend. One of many memorable looks consisted of a bodysuit covered in hand-cut bits of mirrors so that only the eyes and mouth were visible – a sort of human disco ball.
Musicians Super DJ Dmitri, Lady Miss Kier and Towa Tei of Deee-Lite and Designer Zaldy attend 10th Annual Council of Fashion Designers of America on February 25, 1991 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

When did it happen that stylists became more important than the clients they dress? These days we hear more about LA superstylist Rachel Zoe than we do about her famous customers. And what about red-carpet stalwart Phillip Bloch? Don’t we see more of him than his perfectly coiffured creations? Surely, the secret to a good stylist is to interpret the talent’s look, not become the talent itself.
There is one who prefers to stay under the radar and allow his handiwork to do the talking. But now, with a rumour swirling that Victoria Beckham wants to get her hands on him to design her new fashion line, the question on everyone’s Botoxed lips from London to LA is:
Short answer: a stylist to the stars and designer of his own line, whose full name is Zaldy Goco.
Slightly longer answer: self- invented creative genius and calming Swami-like character to even the most stressed celebrities seeking his sartorial services. He was the man behind Gwen Stefani’s label LAMB, and is known to all by his first name only.

In the mid 1990s, while working as an image consultant for Donna Karan, Shiseido and other brands in need of a tune-up, Zaldy, dressed in drag, shot a racy Levi’s television commercial. It was banned in America and shown only late at night in the UK. With star turns on the catwalk for Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier around the same time, Zaldy found himself flirting with serious fame – movie roles and the rest of it. But in the end, he withdrew, saying, “I only wanted to make clothes. That was my passion. I didn’t feel like dressing up any more.”

Michael Jackson apparently loved clothes. But he was no student of fashion, says celebrity stylist extraordinaire, Phillip Bloch, who talked to StyleList about working with the legend.
Bloch styled Jackson for what would turn out to the King of Pop’s final photo shoot, the cover story for the December 2007 issue of Ebony magazine. Over two days Bloch got to know Jackson as a loving and kind person, but also as naif who seemed not to understand his impact on style history.
“Jackson wasn’t up on pop culture or fashion designers,” Bloch says. When the stylist arrived with a well-edited selection of high-end clothing for the photo shoot, the singer admired the clothes, asking if the notoriously British designer Paul Smith was American and whether Japanese clothier Yohji Yamamoto was Italian.
