Meet The Nigerian Who Has Made It As America’s Hottest Stylist

Ever wonder why celebrities always look so well put together? They employ stylists to keep them looking fashionable. And one of the hottest stylists around is Ugo Mozie, a fashion stylist and creative director of Nigerian descent.

One of his main clients is Chris Brown, but he has also worked with Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Sean “Diddy” Combs as well as for films such as Sex and the City 2.

In addition to styling the stars, Mozie is currently the fashion editor at large at 360 magazine, the New York fashion editor of Ghubar magazine, and fashion contributor at WAD magazine in Paris, according to his website.



Mozie, 23, was born in Enugu, Nigeria, but moved to Los Angeles, California, at the age of three with his family. “He got his first insight into entertainment in 2004, when he attended and graduated from Barbizon School of Acting and Modeling. With the help of Jay-Z, he got his first modeling job in 2005,” says the site.

He went on to launch his own fashion line, Aston Mozie with design partner, Quinn Aston, in February 2010, during New York Fashion Week. This soon led to requests for Mozie’s services as a fashion stylist.

“Mozie, with Karrueche Tran, designs The Kill and also consults CB’s [Chris Brown's] own streetwear brand, Mechanical Dummy’s Black Pyramid,” reports Complex magazine.
