Wayne Scot Lukas has an unparalleled reputation for fashion styling, and has worked with some of the world's biggest celebrities and most glamorous women. His client list reads like an entertainment and music industries' Who's Who: Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, Lauren Hutton, Halle Berry and Glenn Close and Meryl Streep, to name a few. Born in Bergenfield, NJ, Wayne starred in TV commercials as a child model. Later he trained at the Pratt Institute, studying graphic design, before becoming a celebrity fashion stylist. Wayne has been a top fashion stylist for 25 years. He was the first in the industry to be named "Celebrity Fashion Stylist" or as some have put it, "Stylist to the Stars." He's learned that he can dress anyone, whatever his or her size, shape or budget. His expertise in spotting a trend, fit, color, balance, design and body shape issues have put him in great demand. He has been quoted as saying; "I have dressed every body type from Roseanne Barr to Janet Jackson." He was asked to feature three of his costume designs in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Rock Style” exhibit, which traveled around the globe. The costumes in the exhibit are considered the best in music history. The outfits chosen included Janet Jackson's couture dominatrix outfit from the Busta Rhymes "What's It Gonna Be" video – the video won numerous awards for style and music. The exhibit also featured two of Tina Turner's tour costumes from her 1995-1996 Wildest Dreams tour – the premiere outfit was designed by Wayne Scot Lukas and executed by Gianni Versace. Wayne has been nominated for the coveted VH-1 Vogue Fashion Award for "Most Stylish Video." Other videos for which he has styled and designed have won awards on MTV, BET and VH-1.
