June Ambrose is the celebrity stylist credited with remaking Mariah Carey’s look (and with it, some say, her career). As the creator of styles on some of TVs biggest shows and Hollywood’s biggest names, Ambrose is an influential player in the fashion world with her own TV show on VH1, “Styled by June.” At home she’s the mother of daughter Summer and son Chance, who are typical Michael Jackson-loving, Converse sneaker-wearing kids, with a bit of extra style, of course. Ambrose’s style philosophy comes down to basics—she’s been quoted extolling the virtues of great undergarments—so we couldn’t wait to hear some of those basics that go into her family’s style. She shares them below:
