Lionel Richie Editor & Author

David Thomas is considered one of the pioneers of celebrity styling. His client list reads like an encyclopaedia of entertainment, from Bananarama, Boy George, and Lisa Stansfield in the 80s, to Kylie Minogue, Westlife, Robbie Williams, and Sting in the 90s, to 21st century icons like Dr Dre, Harry Connick Jr, Calvin Harris, Britney Spears, and of course, John Legend and Lionel Richie. It was through receiving a grant from The Prince's Trust that David was able to get a start in the world of fashion.
