About
StyleLikeU (SLU) is an online magazine founded by former fashion magazine editor and celebrity stylist Elisa Goodkind and her twenty-one year old daughter, Lily Mandelbaum. From its conception in Lily’s dorm room during a brainstorm session with her mother to syndication on the Huffington Post which reaches 38 million people globally a month, SLU has quickly become the leading online destination for unique personal style.
StyleLikeU.com contains "in closet" video interviews featuring personal narratives and photos of tastemakers from around the world, those both celebrated and unsung. Each SLU muse provides new insight into their personal brand of style, music, literature, travel, beauty, home, art and food. In addition to closet interviews, the site regularly features editorials, using a closet muse as the subject of a conceptual fashion spread, and original content generated by a team of in-house writers and photographers. SLU believes that one can be inspired by anybody—either by the end result or by the path that led them there—no matter how different they seem to be on the surface. StyleLikeU is about the person who lives consciously inside of their clothing and style as an art.
“We reveal the profound connection between the external style and inner spirit,” says Elisa Goodkind, editor in chief. “After sharing this intimate connection with so many people, we feel certain that style has no bounds. No matter what one’s age, socioeconomic status, body type, or ethnicity, style is soulful and immaterial. It is accessible to everybody.”
