NOLÉ MARIN
A Biography
Ground-breaking fashion icon, go-to celebrity stylist and television personality, New York-native Nolé Marin has been America’s favorite judge on multiple seasons of “America’s Next Top Model,” “Canada’s Next Top Model”, ABC’s “True Beauty” and three-time coach of MTV’s #1-hit makeover show “MADE.”
This eclectic mix of programs is what catapulted him to superstardom.
As a regular contributing editor to Elle, Esquire, Allure and Vogue around the world, Nole's expertise, as featured on "E!" and "TV Guide," is being tapped into by celebrities, producers, and editors alike, for the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmy's and Grammy's. Additionally, Nole has established himself as every A-lister's only answer to red carpets, award shows and of course, New York Fashion Week.
Marin’s resume of work with high-profile advertising campaigns includes L’Oreal, Pepsi, Disney, Sony Music, Colgate, Avon, Showtime, Virgin Records and Lady Footlocker while working alongside noted photographers as Danella Federrici, Richard Fibbs, Tony Duran, Greg Gorman and Nigel Barker.
His list of celebrity clients are no less impressive. Claudia Schiffer, Tommy Hilfiger, Tyra Banks, Hugh Jackman, Heidi Klum, Lenny Kravitz, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Cynthia Nixon, Ricky Martin, Vivica A. Fox, Gabrielle Union, Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons, Antonio Sabato Jr., Chloe Sevigny, David Blaine, Smokey Robinson, Emily Watson and Taryn Manning have all turned to the master of trends, Nole Marin.
As if that was not enough, our spitfire Nolé proved to the world that he has a few more tricks up his sleeve with his discovery of southern-boy-turned-international-male-modeling-sensation Sean Opry, whose face has sold millions for Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani and Gianfranco Ferre.
Now Marin himself has become the inspiration behind Deborah Gregory, acclaimed author and creator of the wildly popular ``The Cheetah Girls,’’ new Random House novel series, CATWALK based on a teen character and his stylish Pomeranian—Nole Canoli and Countess Coco.
When he’s not turning the average Jane into an international fashionista, securing celebrities on best-dressed lists around the globe, or coaching a friend in need on the proper way to insert a pocket square, Nolé splits his time between both coasts, his affection among nine adopted dogs, and his new modeling agency AIM Model Management.
So as bell bottoms still make their way out of closets and chunky highlights still make their rounds, Nolé Marin will be making his own rounds controlling the damage and beautifying America, one bad outfit and attitude at a time.
