Cloutier (style agency)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cloutier is an agency which provides hair, make-up and wardrobe styling for motion pictures, advertising, photographic layouts and more. The agency also provides photographers for these shoots.

Cloutier was founded in 1977 by Chantal Cloutier, a former fashion model. At the time, most California-based celebrities and Hollywood film studios used freelance make-up and hair artists for their photography shoots. Cloutier established a professional agency which chose the best up-and-coming artists in photography (Matthew Rolston, Herb Ritts and Paul Jasmin), make-up (Karen Kawahara and Francesca Tolot) and hair styling (Serena Radaelli and Will Carrillo).

The agency has provided styling services for music videos and touring musicians such as the Backstreet Boys, Madonna, P!nk, Jewel, Tim McGraw, the Dixie Chicks, Mariah Carey and Shakira, among others; feature films such as Bruce Almighty, Dick Tracy, L.A. Confidential and The Italian Job, among others; thousands of print and television commercials for hundreds of companies; humanitarian campaigns and events by such groups as Children of the Night, Hollygrove and La Posada, among others; television shows such as Friends, Will & Grace, Ally McBeal and Frasier; and photographic shoots for magazines such as GQ, Vanity Fair and Vogue.
