Some stylists get into the game through a love of fashion, others through design—but for Ivanna Fontana, it started with a realization: styling could be a career path.

“When I was studying fashion design, I realized styling was a real thing. I started researching the top stylists in Australia and hit them up for opportunities to assist,” she recalls. “That’s how I started learning the skills I needed to make this a career.”

From there, things escalated quickly.

Breaking Into Celebrity Styling

Networking in the fashion industry landed Ivanna at some of the biggest events; Sydney Fashion Week, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Berlin, high-profile editorial shoots. That’s when she knew she was in the right lane, “I also discovered personal styling and fell in love with it instantly,” she says.

“I dedicated myself to building my skills and getting as much experience as possible, working with all kinds of clients.”

It wasn’t long before she was working with PR teams, influencers, and reality stars—gaining access to elite fashion circles and eventually landing her first celebrity clients, high-profile sh*t.

Styling Aesthetic & Creative Process

Ivanna’s style is a blend of sleek, high-fashion with a streetwear edge. Think sharp tailoring, luxe textures, and statement pieces that radiate confidence and sophistication.

“My process is intuitive and personal. I take time to understand each client’s vision and what makes them unique. It’s about connection—ensuring every detail aligns with who they are,” she explains.

When it comes to styling, she doesn’t rush. It’s about curating a look that represents her clients authentically, not just hopping on trends.

“I craft a style direction that’s personal and thoughtful,” she says. “It’s about creating something that tells a story.”

Industry Lessons & Working With Celebrities

The biggest difference between styling everyday clients and celebrities? The access.

“Celebrities often have a defined look, and you either elevate it or push it creatively. You get access to designer showrooms and exclusive pieces, which shapes how things move on social media."

Ivanna explains...

“Everyday clients shop mainstream brands, and there’s more flexibility in styling them once you understand their personality.”

The most important lesson she’s learned? Adaptability.

“You’ve got to stay authentic and keep learning,” she says. “Every client is different, so you have to push boundaries while staying true to your craft.”

Memorable Moments & What’s Next

Ivanna has had her fair share of major styling moments—Miranda Kerr, an Adidas basketball campaign with NBA superstar Trae Young, dressing Naomi Watts and Monica Barbara for the Oscars.

As for what’s next?

“I can’t say just yet… stay tuned.”

This is going to be an important few years to be alive for.
