Whether he’s creating Met Gala looks for Kim Kardashian or helping everyday clients find their signature style, his approach is all about modern classics and true individuality.Listeners will hear his unfiltered advice for up-and-coming stylists: know the classics before chasing trends, stay curious, and never just copy-paste the same look for every client.

• Understanding Your Skin as an Organ, Not a Trend with Dr. Doris Day

  In this insightful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with board-certified dermatologist, author, and longevity advocate Dr. Doris Day to unpack what it really means to age beautifully — inside and out. With decades of experience bridging medical reporting and clinical practice, Dr. Day shares why skin is so much more than what we see in the mirror: it’s a reflection of our total health and vitality.Dr. Day explains why lasting beauty begins with good habits — quality sleep, smart nutrition, stress balance, and mindful movement — before any injectable or skincare product ever touches our face. She dives into why injectables like Botox work best when paired with a careful, customized approach that considers bone structure, muscle dynamics, and skin condition. Her biggest rule? Results should always look natural and authentic, never frozen.The conversation also explores today’s hottest trends — from the reality of “Ozempic face” and rapid weight loss to K-beauty’s multi-treatment craze — and how to protect skin from unintended consequences. Dr. Day breaks down how smart planning, collagen support, and thoughtful biostimulatory treatments can help preserve facial structure during big changes.She also gives us a glimpse of her upcoming longevity skincare project focused on fibroblast health and stem cell protection — the next frontier for keeping skin resilient as we age. If you want to understand the science behind aging gracefully and make better choices for your skin, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
