True style cannot be taught. Instead, it is a divine inheritance. No one embodies this truth quite like Indianapolis’s own style architect, Kalenna Baskin. Model Icon Inc. officially awarded the visionary force behind Bask In Your Style the prestigious Fashion Stylist Icon of the Year title. The exciting moment took place during the Model Icon Indianapolis Fashion Show and Model Citizen Awards Ceremony at La Cascada.

A Decade of Runway Excellence

Kalenna has been a major force within the Midwest fashion scene for over ten years. Specifically, she shines across roles as a professional model, creative director, model coach, youth mentor, and fashion show coordinator. Therefore, her footprint on the culture is clear. Winning the Fashion Stylist Icon of the Year award brings beautiful validation to a journey fueled by pure passion.

“Creativity and passion cannot be taught,” Baskin shared while celebrating her well-deserved flowers. “I am truly living out my dreams in real time!”

Slaying with Intention

True to her title, Kalenna turned heads at the gala. She wore a striking custom tie corset from designer @wild_moon_child2020. Naturally, she curated the look herself through her own styling brand.

In addition, the night was a beautiful celebration of sisterhood. Kalenna shared the milestone with her close friend and fellow fashion powerhouse, @tlove67. As a result, they proved that friends who slay together stay together.

Consequently, this Fashion Stylist Icon of the Year is just getting started. The Heartland’s fashion scene is officially on notice.
