Guest Overview
New York born, Hollywood stylist, creator of the first expert management agency, a trend spotter and teacher, and co-founder of moms' charity YourMomCares.org, is this week's guest, the irrepressible and inspirational Sharon Feldstein.
Leaving her beloved NYC aged 19, Sharon earned an early break as a costume designer on 70’s hit TV sitcom, TAXI. Never looking back Sharon became a Hollywood stylist, known for her trend spotting ability.
In the late 90’s she created the global trend of sparkle phone covers, before moving on to create the first expert management agency.
