This year has proven to be the year of Marina Munoz- stylist, rising fashion maven, and dear friend of Gargyle. With images of her unforgettable eyebrows and face, enviable collection of hats, and signature style splashed all over blogs and magazines like Vogue, Madame Figaro Japan, Ginza and Spur, we thought it would be fun to ask the lovely Miss Munoz to drop by to show us how to get her look with Gargyle’s summer selection.
Her unpretentious mix of patterns and prints with a play on masculine-feminine has made her a standout on the NYC streets, where it’s often hard to be noticed for style alone. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, her aesthetic is as eclectic as her upbringing. Born to an American father, described by Marina during our shoot as a “very talented artist who paints gauchos,” and an Argentinean mother who is “always sending [me] fabrics in the mail”, the down-to-earth stylist not only draws style inspiration from her family but also from such ’80s Americana references as Brooke Shields, Angelica Houston, Meryl Streep, and Lauren Hutton.
We had a blast working on this story with Marina, watching her work her magic and chatting about everything from the perfect linen couch to Rome to camping and yurts. Needless to say, we love Marina here at Gargyle and are ecstatic to present some of her favorite looks for Summer 2011. Styled and modeled by Marina Munoz, if you don’t already know and love her, you will after this!

but upon closer inspection there's something different about her, a toughness which i like. and not the tired, over-done shredded neo-grunge thing that didn't really seem to have heart or a connection to the original source.
she is really fun to hang with and serves the best tea and biscuits at her place, so yeah, thanks miss Marina, thanks Vogue.fr x
