[News] Miley Cyrus' stylist talks dressing the 'We Can't Stop' singer

The name Simone Harouche may not be familiar, but you’ve probably seen her work. Harouche is the stylist behind Miley Cyrus’ latest fashion phase.

Harouche dressed Cyrus for the much-discussed music video for We Can’t Stop and is helping the star decide what to wear to the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.

Read on to see what the celebrity stylist-turned-designer says about Miley’s fashion evolution and what we can expect at Sunday’s VMA show.

Entertainment Weekly:  What’s it like working with Miley?

Simone Harouche: Miley is really fun. She’s open to trying new things. With every artist, especially musicians, when they put out a new album, their look needs to mirror what their sound is. With this new departure and new sound, Miley wanted to evolve as someone who is into fashion and style. It’s a matter of listening to her music and hearing the vibe and going from there. I think [to myself], “I’m hearing this music, now how should this look? How should this sound look?” You create a package. She’s really fun and open to taking risks. She’s got an amazing body and she’s hot. We have a lot of fun.

EW: What was your vision for the “We Can’t Stop” video? 

SH: There were a bunch of looks that weren’t even used. It was really fun to collaborate with Diane Martel, who was the director, and with Miley. Miley had specific ideas on what she wanted. It’s cool when someone who you work with is passionate about their projects because it makes you really passionate and excited. Diane and Miley both had a vision. It was fun to create that and carry that out and bring it to life.

EW: What were some of the looks that weren’t used in the video? Might they pop up elsewhere?

SH: No, [the clothes] were specific to the video. There were ideas and runway pieces that we got, but they just didn’t end up working because as the video evolved and as we were filming, certain things worked and certain things didn’t.

EW: How do you help a client like Miley prep for a big event like the VMA’s?

SH: I go through all the runway looks and we do requests with the showrooms and fashion PR people. We’ll end up having three or four racks of gowns and clothes. It depends on the client, but we usually have one or two fittings and narrow down the look. A lot goes into leading up to picking that outfit.
