This week on LADY’s After Hours, fashion and cultural historian Laura McLaws Helms meets with makeup artist, hairstylist, interior decorator and gallery owner Rick Gillette. Passionate about beauty and transformation, Rick arrived in NYC in the late 1960s. In great detail, Rick vividly brings to life the many worlds of New York—from downtown hip salons to luxury fashion magazines to the gay scene. Soon a star makeup artist and hairstylist, Rick was a favorite with famous photographers like Richard Avedon and Irving Penn. In the late 1980s he shifted his career to photography, before later focusing on interior design. Since 2013 he has run a gallery in the town of Hudson in upstate New York, which combines fine art, lighting, and furniture in a light-filled 3000 sq. foot space, perfectly curated by Rick. A must listen for anyone interested in the fashion world of the 1960s through 90s, and for anyone interested in beauty (in all of its manifestations).
