Career
Early in his career, Kithe spent fourteen years in Europe honing his skills as a fashion editor and stylist. Leaving for Paris at age nineteen proved to be the right move for Brewster, who immediately grasped the French scene, becoming a hot stylist on the move almost instantly. After seven years in Paris, Brewster moved to London where music styling became his bread and butter. Working with artists, like the group the multi-platinum selling band that he imaged from the start, their video “C’est La Vie” was credited for the return of denim in the mainstream. In no time it was the Brit Awards and Finley Quay, who chose Kite to smarten him and his band’s look for the big night. Winning “Best Male Solo Artist” of the year that night, Finley’s performance was noted in history, and Kithe had now begun to conquer two European fashion capitals.
While in London, Mr. Brewster got his start working for magazines such as Elle,Scene, Vanity Fair, Interview, Flaunt, Chic (Dutch), French and American Jalouse, and Surface to name some. His work for these publications gained attention from the crème de la crème in fashion, as well as European and Hollywood celebrity elite.
With his return to the U.S., Mr. Brewster’s work has become highly sought after by those at the top of American pop culture. After working with Julianne Moore on a Flaunt magazine cover, she immediately requested him to take her “under his wing” and become her stylist. He eagerly agreed, as he had become a fan of then up and coming actress. Makeup legend, Kevyn Aucoin was also taken with his work, and booked Brewster to style 60 percent of his styling in his last book. Kevyn told Kithe that he was one of the best stylists he had ever worked with. Brewster collaborated on shoots with Celine Dion as Maria Callas, Gwenyth Paltrow as Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde, Julianne Moore as Twiggy, and a multitude of others that will forever be a part of fashion history. Aucoin was also instrumental in spreading the word throughout Hollywood of Kithe’s work.
Kithe Brewster styled covers for Flaunt magazine with stars such as Adrien Brody, Cate Blanchett, Drew Barrymore, Selma Hayek, Winona Ryder, and many others. During the same time he kept Eve and Julianne Moore on best dressed lists all over the world and Brewster was established as a leading Hollywood stylist.
As a stylist, his work has appeared in television and print advertising campaigns for Revlon, L’Oreal, Roc-A-Wear, Puma, and many others. The “Hey Ya” video that Kithe styled, changed the face of fashion and music videos forever. “Hey Ya” went on to win every major video award possible in 2004 including MTV’s “Best Hi Hop” video, and “Video of the Year.” He had the same response with many other videos, like Eve’s “Let Me Blow Your Mind” featuring Gwen Stefani. “Let Me Blow Your Mind” won MTV’s 2001 “Bests Female” video. Garbage, Bryan Adams, Beyonce, Usher, Jessica Simpson, Lil’ Kim, and Brandy are just a few of the artists who have seen fashion through Kithe’s colored lens.
