Keyla Marquez Joins L.A. Times’ IMAGE Magazine as Fashion Director at Large

Image is excited to announce that Keyla Marquez is joining the magazine as fashion director at large. Readers who have followed Image in 2022 will recognize the name: Marquez is a true creative visionary and has showcased her skills on numerous projects in the magazine, styling and fashion directing some of Image’s most inventive, high-impact shoots, including a feature that recreated the “Homies” figurines in real life and a collaboration with Sister Kokoro that dressed the L.A. Dance Project troupe in L.A. designers. She builds — and most importantly, she does it for and among her people.” “Whenever she styles, she is able to take a concept and elevate it, creating — in the truest sense of the word — something brilliant, incisive, new, felt.” Marquez grew up in Los Angeles and built her fashion and wardrobe styling career alongside a community of creatives now revolutionizing fashion together. Most recently, in October, Marquez launched Lujo Depot which she describes as “the first independent online showroom that specializes in renting sustainable and contemporary wear by new and established designers.” The shop launched with an epic zoot suit campaign, for which she gave nine L.A. designers full creative freedom to reimagine the suit. “She also really understands the power of community — how to genuinely collaborate with others to create something unique.” Since its relaunch in 2021, Image has continued to cement itself as an industry leader in all things L.A. culture, fashion and style.
