The style of Phil
By Daniel Hughes Vernola, Artist
The fashion of Phil B. Gomez has little doubt our contemporary moment is one of supreme potential; pattern is made bright, a fabric’s hue mirrors collective consensus, one finds the self styled. Nascent without naiveté, Mr. Gomez by chance finds himself in styles.
Drawing on the success of independent ventures like ‘styedbyPhil’, founded in 2008, as one piece is ‘pulled’ for a look from a wardrobe, the twenty something year old found his way to Downtown Manhattan in the fall of 2009, with only a suitcase filled with vestiges of culture, the things we call clothes, the stuff Gomez styles into fashion. He had just finished as Head Stylist for Phoenix’s Fashion Week, 2009.
In a fashion, he arrived already present in the virtual space. Tweeting and updating his blog regularly. Phil has been featured in various outlets such as: Arizona’s 3TV, Lotsofstylemag.com, TuTeleonline.com, and RACKED.com. His work as been published in publications like Astonish Magazine, Gladys, Vogue.it, SPUR Japan, Hombre Magazine, 944 and Componere magazine.
Phil has worked with Jil Sander, SOTU by Ami Goodheart, Formento+Formento, Augusto Araujo, Jessica Kinney, Eva Marcille, Jana Wirth, Chris Alfinez, DJ Brazilia, UNIQLO, DOCKERS, Keith Lloyd Couture, Cesar Galindo, Liza Montoya, Sabina Schreder and many others.
Gomez affects every inch of fabric he touches and persons his styles touch. His most recent exhibition: Costume Director for ‘FASHION’ The Musical, which was awarded ‘Best Musical’ award at the 2011 West Village Musical Theatre Festival.
No small thing for a self made Manhattan-based fashion stylist. This however is what Phil B. Gomez has done and will be so successful doing for fashion in the contemporary moment.
