Even when I think my schedule is chill, it usually isn't,” stylist Jared Ellner says from his home base of Los Angeles, where he's just returned after a stint in Europe. For the past few weeks, he's been juggling a slate of overlapping international projects, including the wardrobe for Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet tour and the Oscars after-parties, which five of his clients attended. Right now, Ellner might be one of the busiest people in fashion. “But that’s the beauty of this,” the 28-year-old says. “I'm very grateful to ride this wave.”

A new class of young creatives is driving entertainment forward: YouTube wunderkind-turned-entrepreneur Emma Chamberlain, pop powerhouse Carpenter, and Hollywood multi-hyphenates like Molly Gordon and Rachel Sennott, who write and star in today's buzziest indie films. Along with exceptional talent and sitting on the millennial/ Gen Z cusp, one key thing these women have in common is Ellner, who styles all of them. “I still don't totally know how it happened,” he says of the influential clientele he's assembled. “L.A. is a very tight-knit community; it’s a bunch of friends talking to friends. The right people cling to you if you're lucky, and you cling to the right people if you can find them, and it just kind of builds.”
