Stylist Kesha Mcloed discusses the looks she created for Kendall Brown, Bennedict Mathurin, and Jalen Williams for the 2022 NBA Draft.
“I wanted to take things a step further and start dressing guys before they come into the league,” says McLeod, who, as one of the NBA’s reigning image architects, has worked with James Harden, PJ Tucker, and numerous other players. After dressing San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones for the 2020 Draft the opportunity presented itself again when WME and BDA Sports approached her to style the aforementioned clients for this year’s draft.
“We landed with Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana in the end,” McLeod explains of Mathurin, Liddell and Williams’s looks. “I have a family relationship with both of those brands.” Brown opted for a custom suit by Kilburne and Finch. Here, McLeod breaks down each look.“One of the things Kendall said was, ‘I want jewelry,’ so I had to focus on getting that for him.
Jason of Beverly Hills provided his lapel pin, watch, chain and studs. I found an atelier, Kilburne and Finch, and they made a custom jacket for him. It’s this gold floral embroidery with tinsel, little hints of cream, a shawl collar and satin lapel. He wore it with a white dress shirt, a black, sparkly bow tie, and black tuxedo pants. Very sharp.“EJ couldn’t attend but he had a huge draft party in St. Louis. I sent a colleague out there.
