The Visionary

 Fashion extraordinaire, Dexter Phillip has worked as a celebrated stylist, writer and visionary
 entrepreneur. His muse is the energy and glamour of living and working in New York City.
 Born in the British West Indies -Trinidad & Tobago, Dexter grew up in New York honing his
 craft in the realm of fashion.


 After studying theater and media communications at Marymount
 Manhattan College, and journalism at Columbia University, he
  eagerly positioned as an authoritative voice within the fashion industry
 by opening his own image consulting company called La Mode New
  York, styling for high fashion glossies, music moguls, celebrities
  and lifestyle advertising campaigns. During this time Dexter became a   staple on the New York social scene; linking himself with edgy
  models, glamorous socialites,striking designers, brilliant makeup
  artists, and exceptional photographers.


 Now a 20-year veteran in the world of fashion and beauty, Dexter
  embarked on making his long-time vision a reality - creating DEX
  New York - an all- in- one makeup, hair, and photography
  production studio with a red-carpet touch. Dexter, with the
 assistance of global artists, stylists and photographers have also
  launched the creation of DEX New York modern minerals - a
 makeup line used by professional artists and general consumers.
  He knew the industry waslacking a professional line of
 "camera-ready" mineral makeup that could be utilized in the
 industry,and felt a need to own the category.


 If it's cutting edge and all around chic, it's happening at DEX. The
  popularity of DEX Studios has driven celebrities such as Tyra Banks to
shoot her talk show makeover segments, Victoria Beckham to shoot her S/S 09 look book, and designer Stephen Burrows to show his F/W 09 runway presentation, all at DEX. DEX Modern Minerals makeup has also managed to snag quite the celebrity following as Carrie Underwood, Pat Cleveland, Vivica Fox, Kelly Ripa, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, and Alicia Keys have all raved about DEX.
