Yael Shelbia's dramatic change: parting ways after 5 years
Yael Shelbia and her longtime stylist Daniela Kapluto are ending their professional partnership, with the main driver behind the surprising move and the intriguing name that might take over the coveted role now revealed.
A dramatic change in the close team of one of the biggest stars in the local fashion industry: model Yael Shelbia and stylist Daniela Kapluto are going their separate ways. After half a decade of close collaboration and the creation of countless looks, the two are closing a professional chapter. The separation was done in a good atmosphere and with mutual appreciation, summarizing a bond that extended far beyond the boundaries of shooting days and reached as far as spending time together on the luxurious yacht of Shelbia's partner, Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll.
The main driver behind the surprising move is the rise in Shelbia's international status. The new status alongside Stroll requires her to have a constant presence at prestigious red carpet events, global premieres, and glamorous meetings overseas. These demands created the need for a comprehensive refresh of the styling package and personal style, in order to meet the standards of the global fashion scene. Industry sources point out that the change does not stop here, and that it is very possible that the young driver himself will also undergo a wardrobe upgrade in the near future.
In the new race among stylists that has opened up, all eyes are turned toward a particularly intriguing option — Or Luzon. The renowned stylist and influencer, who has years of close work with Omer Adam (Shelbia's former partner) on her resume, is considered one of the figures closest to the model. Shelbia even defined her in the past as her "speed dial" in emergencies, and the two display particular photogenicity at prestigious events and in joint campaigns.
Now it remains to be seen whether the close friendship and proven chemistry between the two will translate into an official work contract, and whether Luzon is the one who will take the reins and lead Shelbia to the next stage of her style on the international stage.
