Knowing I\u2019ll never lose it \u00a0\u2013 whether I\u2019m in my studio, backyard or living room \u2013 is pretty cool! Whenever I\u2019m ready to go back to a note or sketch, I can go back to the idea on any device through the Samsung Notes app.<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m working with talent on a new look, it starts with one idea that I\u2019ll capture and send using my Note20 Ultra. From there, it\u2019s a collaborative process and we\u2019ll go back and forth to finalize the details. That\u2019s how fashion styling works for my clients. We\u2019ll start with a look on the phone and then I\u2019ll pick up the Tab\u00a0 S7+ to go bigger. I need a larger screen to see and feel all of the details. Fashion styling is step-by-step. You start with a sketch and then you finalize the fabric, the embellishments, the color, the jewelry. When I use the tablet I\u2019m able to build it out even more so it\u2019s larger than life!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41802\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celeb-Stylist-Jason-Bolden-with-Galaxy-Note20-Galaxy-Tab-S7-Galaxy-Watch3-and-Galaxy-Buds-Live-2.jpg\" alt=\"Celeb Stylist Jason Bolden with Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Tab S7+, Galaxy Watch3, and Galaxy Buds Live\" width=\"3508\" height=\"3023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/24220259\/Celeb-Stylist-Jason-Bolden-with-Galaxy-Note20-Galaxy-Tab-S7-Galaxy-Watch3-and-Galaxy-Buds-Live-2.jpg 3508w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/24220259\/Celeb-Stylist-Jason-Bolden-with-Galaxy-Note20-Galaxy-Tab-S7-Galaxy-Watch3-and-Galaxy-Buds-Live-2-600x517.jpg 600w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/24220259\/Celeb-Stylist-Jason-Bolden-with-Galaxy-Note20-Galaxy-Tab-S7-Galaxy-Watch3-and-Galaxy-Buds-Live-2-950x819.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3508px) 100vw, 3508px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What do you love most about the new Mystic Bronze color?<\/span> <\/span><\/h5>\n<p>I\u2019m also a very visual person, so I\u2019m immediately drawn to the Mystic Bronze color that matches my Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live. It\u2019s so chic, fresh, and modern! I also love that it\u2019s a point of conversation! It\u2019s warm, bold, and inviting; I love that I can have a cohesive look across all of my devices. Sometimes technology can be intimidating, but that\u2019s not the case with something as design-forward as Mystic Bronze. I want to take my devices with me to every room!
