How Stylist Marina Munoz Balances Androgyny


Marina Munoz is one of the most sought after women in the street style photography phenomena and we felt it was essential to find out where her motivation lies. We gathered she’s taken her experiences and travels and used them to her advantage. Her signature Indiana Jones style fedora, androgynous attire, and casual vibe showed Marina’s apparent love for vintage as well as her relish for the fashion industry. Besides her prevailing taste, her modesty and how she cares for those she mentors as well as works with is 
extremely refreshing.


Why do you think photographers want a photo of you?
I think they see something different and fresh. Then when they get to know me, we usually become friends…

Who’s your favorite street style photographer?
I get a lot of inspiration from Scott Schuman His attention to detail is so good. I learn a lot from his blog about shoes, belts, and pocket squares.

What would you say is your signature style and where does it come from?
My signature style mixes masculine and feminine wear, men’s shirts, silk blouses, trousers, blazers and men’s fedoras! Also, my parents are chic examples of cool and elegant. Also, I take bits from my travels and films that I have seen.

What is your favorite part about styling?
The whole creative process is exciting for me, coming up with the concept, researching, and watching it all come together. It’s like cooking. You have a project and you see it from start to finish.

You’re a model and you’re a stylist’s assistant to Kate Young what is your ideal job?
I’m lucky to be in a position where I can do a lot of things and still stay focused. My ambition is to eventually style and be happy. I don’t expect to get to the top; I am content with working and being able to enjoy life.

Are you in NY for good or do you think you would go elsewhere?
(Laughs) there’s always the Parisian itch! Now that I have been here for a year, fallen in love with someone and haphazardly fallen in love with NY it all has been very rewarding.
