@nolasinger discussed her path to styling during a conversation for @theretaility with client and friend @menasuvari .
âI worked for Phillip Bloch, and I assisted him with the Halle Berry stuff [when she was Oscar nominated for âMonsters Ballâ in 2002], which was amazing. Sheâs the nicest and prettiest. That was so cool. But I was in college working for him, and he fired his assistant and made me his assistant. My dad was like, âIâm not paying for school when youâre working all the time. You need to graduate,â because I loved styling. Then I had to finish school and graduate. Then I had a boyfriend who was in a band. I was dressing them. And his girlfriend was an actress. I started dressing her. Then, I kept meeting people and working. I did a lot of musicians to start first. I donât even remember. I just started working, and I had an eye, and then I made jewelry for a while. But then I had a girlfriend who was an actress. She invited me to go to the Oscars with her. I was in her hotel room with her, and Iâm like, âWhat are you wearing?â She showed me this dress. I was like, âYou canât wear that. Youâre going to get worst dressed.â I was like, âIâm going to get you something.â I got her something, and she got Best Dressed.â

For @theretaility âs latest In Conversation, @menasuvari spoke with her longtime stylist @nolasinger .
The two came of age in Los Angeles, but their lives didnât intersect until later in life when both were looking for a reset.
âI definitely felt, kind of, taken in and spit out by so much of the Hollywood machine,â said Suvari, an Emmy-nominated actress who became a household name at twenty thanks to the critical and commercial success of the Oscar-nominated film âAmerican Beautyâ and hit comedy âAmerican Pieâ in 1999. âA lot of people can fall victim to that because thereâs so much pressure.â
Singer remembered being equally frustrated in her styling career when a childhood friend â Oren Segal, now a talent manager â introduced her to his client, Suvari.
âI was disillusioned,â Singer recalled of that pivotal moment, ten years ago, when she and Suvari met for a meal to discuss the possibility of working together. âHollywoodâs hard, and I love being creative, but sometimes when you get to a [certain] level, it stops being creative. ⌠I had some clients I was still working with, but I was questioning my life. And then, [Mena and I] really connected.â
After meeting â and clicking â professionally in 2016, their relationship inevitably turned personal as Suvari and Singer realized they have a lot in common beyond a mutual love of fashion.
