Tell us more about who you are and what you do!
I’m Savannah Mendoza and I’m a celebrity wardrobe stylist based out of LA. I’ve been in the industry for almost 10 years now. Some of my clients include country music singer Mickey Guyton, Lady A, Justin Baldoni, John Harlan Kim, Cailey Fleming, and Rahul Kohli.
What led you to become a stylist?
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a stylist. I’ve always loved fashion and in my life, all roads always led back to the fashion industry. So once I got to college, I was able to get a few internships, one of them with Ilaria Urbinati and I worked for her for about 7 years and the rest is history!
What is your fashion philosophy for styling clients in a few sentences?
I’ve been really lucky that a lot of the clients I’ve worked with have let me bring a vision to life. I never want to push them to be uncomfortable but I like to show them new ways to dress. Selfishly, I want to try fun clothes and new trends on them as well! Once you push them a little out of their comfort zone , they start to say “Oh I actually really like this” or “I didn’t think I would ever wear something like this” and that to me, is always exciting to hear.

What is a trend you are loving for the Fall season?
This has been a trend for awhile, and anyone that knows me knows I love anything western! I’ve been obsessed with the jeans and blazer look for men, and if you want to add a cowboy boot, even better!
And, not really a trend but I have been obsessed with the Willy Chavarria Spring 2026 collection. Definitely one of my favorite designers at the moment. The way Willy showed the bright colors and the silhouettes was so chic.
What is a fashion rule you like to break?
A rule that makes me crazy is no white after Labor Day! A white suit or white dress is so chic and timeless all year round. I love a winter white moment!
What advice would you give aspiring stylists?
Get an internship! The best way to learn this job and industry is a hands on education. Having internships really gave me an inside look into the job. I learned the hard way it’s like 95% hard work and 5% glamour!

How do you like to style Just Black Denim jeans?
I’m always running around LA doing pick ups and returns, on set, or running to fittings so jeans are my go to. I love to wear Just Black jeans with simple t-shirt and flats or an oversized blazer and cowboy boots. I am OBSESSED with the capris and love to pair them with a kitten heel and blazer or cropped leather jacket.
