How do you deal with a diva?

Being nice, I think, goes a long way when you're a fashion stylist. If you continue to be nice, eventually people can't continue to be nasty or demanding, so it diffuses the 'diva' situation. Part of your job as a fashion stylist is actually being able to deal with and manage people, understand their insecurities as well. Quite often you're taking people back to the core of how they really feel about themselves, particularly if you're creating a dramatic change. I think you got to have enormous empathy and understanding as fashion stylist, but sometimes that's going to rock people's security and bring out their vulnerabilities. As well as looking after fashion, I think stylists are therapists as well, in some sort of way, building confidence and making people feel better about themselves.
