About Styl.ish
Ishmael Bennett
Fashion stylist and visionary based in New York
I am a fashion stylist and visionary based in New York. I created Styl.ish, a video series and brand dedicated to teaching people—especially the youth—how to transcend boundaries and push into the fashion world with confidence and creativity.
Growing up in Philadelphia, I experienced first hand how fashion norms can feel restrictive. Philly can be a close-minded place when it comes to self-expression through clothing—whether it's wearing something traditionally labeled as "menswear" or "womenswear," or simply stepping outside the norm. I created Styl.ish to help break those barriers, inspiring people to embrace their style without limits.
"Fashion is more than what you wear—it's a statement, a movement, and a form of art."
This series isn't just about fashion—it's about where to find it, how to wear it, and why it matters. I meet with stores, designers, and creatives to understand their vision, their mission, and the culture they cultivate. Through Styl.ish, I translate that experience to my audience, guiding them to discover new pieces, new spaces, and new ways to express themselves.
Styl.ish is here to help people explore it, own it, and redefine it on their own terms.
