The Met Gala, Killing Eve, Phoebe Waller-Bridge – on the latest episode of A Different Tweed, meet Elizabeth Saltzman, the fashion stylist who is involved in all of these cultural phenomena. 

Tune in to hear Elizabeth explain her trajectory from working on Vogue and Vanity Fair to rank among the Hollywood Reporter’s top 25 “Power Stylists” because of her work with Waller-Bridge as well as Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer plus Gwyneth Paltrow and Saoirse Ronan, who she is dressing for the 2019 Met Gala. 

Elizabeth is the first stylist to feature on A Different Tweed and her episode is a special audio diary. Recorded at Claridge’s hotel in London, she recalls leaving behind her Upper East Side family home in the 1980s to immerse herself in downtown New York’s avant-garde fashion scene and its vibrant club culture. “Night life was my university,” she reflects.

Hear how she changed it up at the turn of the new millennium, leaving New York, when she was nine months pregnant, to live in London where deploying her clout as Vanity Fair’s fashion director, she helped nurture a new generation of designers who established the British metropolis as a bonafide fashion capital. She also divulges how preparing Vanity Fair’s annual Oscar party prepped her for her current role as a movie star stylist. “I was styling people before I knew I was a ‘stylist’,” she reflects. 

Elizabeth also talks about how a mix of Killing Eve creepiness, sustainability and the #MeToo movement all inspire her craft.
