June Ambrose Proves Fashion Is More Than Clothes

HelloBeautifulStaff — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:15:04 +0000

Stylist to the stars, June Ambrose has fully entered into the realm of reality TV. Last night, June hosted a premiere party for her new show, Styled By June, which is a show that will prove that fashion is more than the clothes on your back. For June, fashion is about attitude, branding and staying relevant. She’s definitely got all those things down and then some. Needless to say, I’ll be watching! Styled By June premieres on Monday March 19th at 9:30pm on Vh1 and here’s four reasons I’ll be there.

1. I count on June to bring the drama without conflict. It’s going to be so refreshing to see a black woman on reality tv without screaming matches.

2. June styles and has helped relaunch and rebrand careers of some of Hollywood’s heavyweights like Diddy, Jay-Z, Will Smith, Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige. Having one of June’s high profile clients show up on the show gives a lot of motivation to watch.

3. Between June’s three assistants–Eli aka her second husband, Tukie the marker editor and Rachel the socialite/actress wannabe that’s obsessed with the fun of it all–there’s sure to be tons of laughs. These cast members/employees are more than likely providing the drama of the show.

4. June is a complete success. She’s branded herself as more than a stylist. June’s the CEO of Mode Squad, Inc. as well as a designer for Selima Optique, so her work schedule is hectic. I love everything about being able to see a black woman thrive in her passion. More power to you June!

Celebrity stylist June Ambrose’s clients include Rihanna, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and Diddy, but her own style – think big frames and even bigger turbans – is just as worthy of being noted. So, it came as no surprise to us when we heard that she was getting her own reality show.

Here, she tells HB what we can expect:

Celebrity Stylist June Ambrose Gets Her Own Show On VH1!

HelloBeautifulStaff — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:00:52 +0000

Celebrity stylist June Ambrose has landed her own show on VH1. The docu-reality series will follow the fashionista as she and her assistants revamp the looks of actors and artists.

For the last 20 years, June has dressed Diddy, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and more. There’s not word if these A-listers will appear on the show, scheduled to premiere early next year, but we can hope!

Here’s what VH1 had to say:

In “The June Ambrose Project,” June and her team of tireless assistants will take on a mix of up-and-coming and established celebrity clients – some actors, some musicians — who would like to re-imagine their looks and brands. Each episode will chronicle an image makeover and overall rebranding, culminating in a visually stunning event designed to focus on the celebrity’s new look.

In addition to makeovers, viewers will get to see how June juggles her family life, CEO of her celebrity styling house Mode Squad and her burgeoning empire. Adding to June’s to-do list is a record label, books and a plethora of assignments ranging from celebrity clients, fashion shows and photo shoots to emergency style interventions for friends she can never turn down.

We can’t wait. It’s about time VH1 features something other than basketball wives and brawls.
