Eric Himel is a Los Angeles–based personal and celebrity stylist known for a direct, highly individual approach to style. For more than two decades, he has worked with private clients, celebrities and brands to build wardrobes that reflect not simply what is fashionable, but who the person wearing them actually is.
His work is grounded in proportion, fit, lifestyle and instinct — with the belief that great style should make life easier, not more complicated.
Eric grew up in Toronto and Dallas before moving to New York City after high school to study fashion design at Parsons School of Design, where he trained under Tim Gunn. That foundation in design evolved into a career in styling — first in fashion and entertainment, and ultimately into the highly personal work he does with clients today.
Over the course of his career, Eric’s work and expertise have appeared across E!, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, The Style Network, Elle, InStyle, GQ, People, The New York Times and numerous other national outlets.
From television and editorial to celebrity and private-client styling, that experience has shaped the direct, highly personal approach he brings to his work today.
Eric has worked with a wide range of celebrity clients across film, television, sports and entertainment, including Rachel Brosnahan, Ali Larter, Taylor Kinney, Jenny McCarthy, Gabby Douglas and Scottie Pippen. His work spans red carpet, press, television appearances, personal image and special events, with each client approached individually rather than through a one-size-fits-all ‘celebrity’ formula.
He continues to work with talent through referrals from managers, agents and publicists, bringing the same attention to proportion, fit, personality and image that defines his private-client work.
Today, Eric’s work is centered on private clients. His approach is collaborative, candid and deeply personal: understanding how a client lives, what they feel good in, what they avoid, and how they want to be seen — then building a wardrobe that makes sense around all of it.
The goal is never to turn someone into a fashion person – it is to make getting dressed feel intuitive.
When needed, Eric also incorporates his signature Closet Purge™ process to edit what no longer works and clarify what a client’s wardrobe actually needs.
“Style doesn’t hide who you are. It reveals it.”
