Linda Rodin’s Life Lessons

Linda Rodin, beauty badass and founder of cult favorite beauty brand RODIN will be in Chicago next week (Sept. 3) at space519 to introduce her new scent RODIN BIS and we can’t wait . Don’t know much about the stylist entrepreneur bada$$? In the upcoming Matchesfashion Style Report magazine, she talks about life lessons and why she doesn’t work with celebrities.

The first thing I do in the morning…”I get my cappuccino from a great little place called Golden Crepes at the end of my street and then I walk Winky, my dog.”

You may not know this about me but… “I never go out past 7pm. But I’m not an early bird either. I like to watch late-night TV and I get up at 10, unless I’m working. Getting enough sleep is the key to life. I need nine hours.”

I’ve steered away from working with celebrities, because it can be so problematic. To dress somebody who’s not sure what they like is too stressful. Emma Stone has a great stylist – she consistently looks good,” Rodin said. “But I look at some outfits on the red carpet and I’m like, ‘Why did anybody even show you that dress?’”

The piece of advice I would give my 15-year-old self is… “You’re more interesting than you think, so just embrace yourself.”

My epitaph would read… “I did the best I could.”
