This week’s Fame Game Featured “Mover and Shaker” is Stylecaster contributing stylist Annabel Tollman, moving up 3.4% in this weekâs âFASHIONâ category, ahead of Proenza Schouler designer Lazaro Hernandez and fellow stylist Rachel Zoe.
Formerly the fashion director at Interview Magazine, Annabel may be best known as Scarlett Johanssonâs personal stylist. Annabel also styles rapper Pharrell Williams, and can always be counted on to know exactly what the stars (and you) should be wearing. Annabel was caught modeling one of Kate Mossâ creations for Topshop here, and also be sure to catch her checking out the fashion goods at the next Marc Jacobs runway show.
Annabel gets Fame Game props for being a full-figured fashionista, and not feeling any pressure to be super-skinny. So in case you were wondering, healthy is hot this year. In an interview for Marie Claire, Annabel quipped, âI find Amazonian models like those in Herb Ritts photos from the early ’90s to be more attractive than skinny twigs, but I am the most oblivious person to what men think.â It seems to us that Annabel has a great, fun outlook when it comes to dressing up, but her best advice may be: âYou donât have to stop enjoying yourself” (as quoted in the New York Times.)
Annabel Tollman is currently ranked 850 among the more than 160,000 people in Fame Game and has 106 people connections. She has attended over 75 events in the past few years and counts fashion muse Scarlett Johansson, Nylon mag editor Dani Stahl, and Allure fashion director Michael Carl among her top friends. Annabelâs highest rank to date is 620.
FameGame’s algorithm computes rank (a measure of overall media attention) by looking at inputs such as the number of events attended, influential connections and “connectedness” index, news and editorial mentions, user attention/search trends, blog attention, and more. Learn more here.
