SONIA YOUNG Born and raised in the Bay Area, celebrity stylist Sonia Young is recognized for her fresh perspective and authenticity. Young is inspired by using fashion as a vehicle for finding common ground and bringing communities together. Her work has appeared on the covers of Vogue, Marie Claire and Men's Health, as well as on her clients for countless red carpet appearances. In her first assignment for Bal Harbour, Young styled cover model Sanne Vloet, who was photographed by Ryan Pfluger for the fashion editorial, "Dream State." STEWART SHINING Stewart Shining's portraits and fashion photographs have appeared on scores of covers, from Rolling Stone to Vogue, as well as this publication, and have been published in numerous books. This fall he's releasing his first book, Alessandra, a monograph on supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, whom he's been friends with for the last 20 years since first capturing her likeness for the cover of Wallpaper magazine when she was 17 years old. "She was like this little, waifish diamond in the rough but I saw something in her eyes," says Shining in our interview on page 152. "Those eyes just draw you in."
