14553107870991 (1)

Jason Bolden is known for his congenial personality and sleek sense of style. The entrepreneur and celebrity stylist tailored his eye for fashion during his extensive experience with high-end retail. He then began styling clients like Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union and lending his colorful commentary to show like BET’s 106 & Park. In recent years he has returned to retail by collaborating with long-time client Lala Anthony on 5th and Mercer and developing a luxe sunglasses line called JSN Studio. When he’s not styling for massive ad campaigns, or striking editorial images he is working on making his husband happy and keeping that flawless skin smooth. We asked him about his career goals, motivation, and role models.
