NAME: Christie Tyler
JOB DESCRIPTION: Content creator, student, neutrals aficionado

Carefully curated and filtered to perfection, Instagram often makes for real life disappointment when we encounter a person as meticulously branded as Christie Tyler. She is renowned for an effortless and distinctive style that revolves around neutral pieces many might consider monotonous on the rack. The New Jersey native who decamped for nearby New York City, however, makes a classic camel coat, cream pantsuit, or black slide feel anything but basic.

Jen Wonders, a Parisian-born, Los Angeles-based creative director and fashion blogger, can attest to the fact that Tyler is every bit as chic in person as she is on the gram. Wonders, who intersperses essential pieces with pops of bold color and pattern, made the first move IRL at a Nanushka presentation last year—a designer for whom both sartorial stars share a mutual affection. “We followed one another on Instagram, but we never met until then,” said Tyler. The two quickly became fast fashion week friends and regularly meet up in New York at “their spot,” La Mercerie, to catch up offline.
