Contessa Stuto





occupation: stylist and party promoter

“I like to celebrate women. Accentuating your body, all different sizes.”
Contessa Stuto

Admittedly and comfortably “shocking” in her style, Contessa says that she loves to be the center of attention in her femme fatale clothing combinations. She is alluring and commanding in her ensnaring leather bustiers and 80′s leggings, but equally captivating with her carefree and iconoclast personality. You cannot help but notice her and for all the right reasons – she uses fashion to boldly and bravely celebrate who she is and to have fun. With an eye for good finds that are fierce in late 80′s and 90′s references (like strong prints, color and accentuated shapes), it’s not surprising that her favorite designers are Patricia Field (for her career), Betsey Johnson, Alexander McQueen, Thierry Mugler, and Stephen Sprouse, whose memorable graffitti bag with Louis Vuitton she scored. In her black sheer top with gold belted black leggings, tulle headpiece, dark sunglasses, and platinum blonde hair, Contessa is a portrait of one who is extraordinary in self-presentation and defines self-expression as an art. Whether it’s Madonna-esque 80′s glam or 90′s fly girl, she makes it her – bold and comfortable enough to stand on her own.

    This chic is cold blooded. Anyone who dares to take some fly ass vintage and make it her sexy bitch gets a big fat virtual “fuck yeah” from me!

    I’m not sure if the vintage picture of Patricia Fox or Sophia Lamar wearing the see through blouse with the faintest of black threads is one of the most erotic looks!

    The look is of class and pride, one which should make a come back in tdays fashions!

    Contessa’s gorgeous inside and out.
    She exudes sass, power, confidence and style.
    I knew the second I met her we’d be close friends.
    Really mother fucking close.

    She smiled and told me she’s “New York’s next Big thing”.
    And she was right.

    Love You, baby. XOXOX

    wow. very bold. good thing she’s a promoter and stylist.. otherwise, it wouldn’t be appropriate to wear what she wears.

    if you need conservative but trendy clothes, try Ashley Stewart at http://www.ashleystewart.com. I like their clothes a lot.

    Dressing in “vintage” shitty looking clothes is not art. It is recycling tired old trends. How is she any different from any of the thousands of other kids dressing the same way?

    Wow, Contessa is so fabulous. I run into her at all the dopest parties and she’s either throwing them or hosting. Her fashion is so different because she just doesn’t give a fuck! I love her.
