—CONSTANTINE JAMES—

...is a hair, makeup and wardrobe stylist based in Chicago. He started his career by working on major television network shows, commercials, photo shoots and fashion shows as a hair and makeup artist at the age of nineteen. Traveling between Hollywood and New York and working with some of the most influential individuals and celebrities, it was a natural progression for him to pursue a longtime dream of working in fashion. Constantine launched the addition of his wardrobe styling career by designing a look for a Chicago celeb for the 2012 Academy Awards red carpet.

Although he had several opportunities to pursue a fast-paced career in New York or L.A., he chose to remain in Chicago to maintain a work/life balance. As such, Constantine accepted the position of Creative Director for JWC Media in 2018, styling over 126 covers and 24 editorial fashion spreads for all four of Chicago’s North Shore premier luxury lifestyle magazines.

Today, with over 15 years in the industry, he is considered to be one of the country’s top stylists. As an expert in fashion and beauty, Constantine has contributed to several online beauty sites, blogs and publications offering expert tips and advice.

Because of the opportunities he was given, which allowed his career to flourish, Constantine is dedicated to giving back to the community by aiding non-profits, volunteering his time and creative services, and working with mentorship programs to inspire new generations of artists and stylists.
