This past season on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, we all welcomed Bianca Espada onto the scene of figuring out life and success. She’s a fabulous addition, to say the least! Espada has not only taken over our televisions, but she is taking the blogging and fashion world to a whole new level. Assistant to celebrity fashion guru Sonja Benson, Espada can sure teach us a lot about being a successful working woman on the go. Here, we chat with Espada as she continues to make her mark on the world.
Cliché: How has joining the cast of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills influenced your professional career?
Bianca Espada: It has influenced my career in many ways, such as brands wanting to promote through me and people sending me their products. That kind of stuff has gone up drastically since the show aired.
What was your biggest motivation for you to get into fashion design?
I’m most inspired by travel, street style, and different cultures and backgrounds. Traveling has opened my eyes to the way people dress in different places. Also, New York City is huge and very influential. There are so many creative outlets here so I think my day-to-day life is inspiring.
What is it like being the assistant to a celebrity stylist?
Being an assistant to Sonja is so much fun. It’s the first job I’ve ever had where I get up and I’m excited to go to work. We work with some really fun people and we work with the most beautiful clothes. It’s like playing dress up all day.
Who is your favorite designer?
Hedi Slimane from Saint Laurent. He’s no longer with Saint Laurent, but I think he is amazing.
With tons of options in both New York and L.A., what is your ultimate career goal?
My ultimate career goal is to work on my blog full time and to be able to work with different companies and different brands to promote each other. I think that would be a really fun and exciting job.
Your blog is absolutely amazing and aesthetically pleasing. What are your inspirations?
What qualifies as a good post for me is something that people are asking about on social media—everything from skin care, fragrances, or even the outfits I’m wearing in an episode. I get a lot of feedback from my followers, so that’s the direction I tend to go in.
What are some tips you have for a working woman on the go like yourself?
Always keep a pair of flats in your purse, as well as a nice pressed powder in your cosmetics bag. Also, lip liner goes a long way.
