Growing up in the South of FRANCE (near Marseille) , Linda was inspired by the beautiful mediterranean scenery and nature around her, the diversity of her working class neighborhood, her Algerians parents immaculate style and the french editorials of the 80's.
It's her love for hip-hop that brought her to NYC a decade ago :" I knew nobody , couldn't speak a word of English, didn't have a dollar to my name ... but my head was full of dreams, music and dance ". And dreams did come true when Linda started to style her " idols " of that time like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Nas, Common, Cindi Lauper to name a few ....
She now works with multiple fashion and beauty clients as well as established commercial directors and production companies from NY to LA.
She is also a Costume Designer and has worked on independent movies, TV shows and contents.She is a member of Local 829.
Parallel to her styling career, Linda was the creator of a unique concept store in the Lower East Side of Manhattan called LE SOUS SOL. This fashion forward boutique promoted and introduced new designers from Belgium exclusively. The store received numerous articles and attention from the International press and Fashion Editors .
When she is not working on different projects Linda finds inspiration and meaning to her creative sides traveling between The Sahara desert of her native country of Algeria and a small fisherman village of the south coast of the island of Jamaica .
Linda works between NY/ LA/ MIAMI and FRANCE and is available worldwide.
