Usually a wardrobe stylist works hard to make sure the clothes in a photo are clean, pressed and fitting perfectly. That’s easy. Enter Angel Rodriguez, ace stylist. His job was to find just the right wardrobe for an Uponor (makers of plumbing supplies) ad. The folks at agency Gabriel deGrood Bendt wanted our plumber (the talented Tom Payne) to look just real enough to believe.
This sent Angel off to 2nd hand stores which he soon found out didn’t have much in Tom’s large frame size. So he bought new. And with grinders, sand paper and other secrets worn out the clothes just so.
Here’s a short video of a little on-set styling by Angel!
