“I started out assisting June Ambrose when I first got into the industry,” says Archibald. “We had great chemistry when we were working together, because June came from an urban background and I came from high fashion, so it was a nice fusion.”

Stylish Destiny

“I love fashion. My mom was a seamstress and my father was a pretty sharp dresser,” says Archibald on why he decided to pursue a career as a stylist. “At a very young age my mom would say that I’d tell her, ‘that doesn’t go with that,’ and I would always wanted to dress my sister.”

Style Mady Easy

Fashion does not have to be complicated to look good, according to Archibald. “Michelle Obama is always so well put together and she does it with ease by wearing a cardigan or playing with color.”
