“Meeting you guys… I never thought it would be like this. I didn’t think stylists were like this. I think you guys are unique, in your positions of who you are and where you’re at in the industry. People talk about being unique in the industry and it’s difficult because the industry is so big. I think the collaboration and the union you guys have, what you guys are doing in the industry and the power you guys have in yourselves and each other… I feel blessed, I feel honoured to be in this union, I feel blessed to have you guys as stylists. I feel blessed to be in conversation with you and to be inspired by you.” - Bukky Bakray

"I always came with the energy, that I'm no one's role model. I do think that we live to inspire. I hope that's what I've done with @RocksFilm. The only reason why it doesn't feel weighted for me... I don't feel like I have this massive responsibility, to be like a premium proper person, is because if I continue to be me, people will be able to identify with someone who is just not premium and proper." - Bukky Bakray

We hope you'll enjoy the conversation - stay tuned for part 2!

For our second episode of Let's Talk About with Zadrian and Sarah podcast, we spoke to our dearest friend, Salvo Nicosia, a.k.a. The Bearded Publicist! Our conversation drifts from reflecting back on his hay days at Dolce and Gabbana, dressing Madonna for the MTV awards to the legacy of icon stylist Patti Wilson and spearheading the VIP sector at Karla Otto in London and Los Angeles. His genius at spotting talents before they blossom into greatness has led to Salvo being the go to person for all things red carpet! And now as Head of Celebrity Services (Alberta Ferretti/ Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini), Salvo Nicosia sheds light on the current state of fashion and leading a global brand through a pandemic whilst self-educating on diversity and inclusion.
