HBL’s SVP of Fashion & Beauty Featured in Chicago News Weekly
At HBL | Henningson Black Level, we believe luxury is not defined by logos, but by legacy. It’s about owning your voice, your values, and your presence. Few embody this better than our own Linda Gray, HBL’s Senior Vice President of Fashion & Beauty for Los Angeles, who was recently featured in Chicago News Weekly in the article “Building A Luxe Wardrobe” by C.L. Blackburn.
In a world saturated by fast fashion and fleeting trends, Linda brings something rare: perspective.
More Than Fashion | A Statement of Identity
The article explores Linda’s approach to curating a wardrobe, but more importantly, it captures her philosophy. For her, building a luxe wardrobe isn’t about buying into status, it’s about dressing with strategy, intention, and presence. It’s a practice rooted in storytelling. After all, in the luxury space, how you show up is often your first language.
Whether she’s advising emerging designers, mentoring professionals, or styling high-profile personalities, Linda’s work is grounded in the belief that personal style is a direct extension of personal power.
A Leading Voice in the HBL Network
Linda joined HBL to help shape our fashion and beauty division across the U.S. market, bringing decades of experience as a fashion show producer, stylist, marketing executive, and image consultant. Her role goes far beyond aesthetics, it’s about shaping narratives, unlocking brand potential, and elevating visibility through the lens of luxury.
Under her leadership, HBL Fashion & Beauty in Los Angeles has become a trusted reference for curated campaigns, international runway collaborations, and the intersection of style, influence, and identity.
Her presence reinforces what HBL stands for: global intelligence with local nuance, where every touchpoint, from couture to consulting, is executed with precision and heart.
A Platform for Women Who Lead
Linda’s feature is more than a personal milestone, it’s a reflection of the HBL mindset. We don’t just support talent. We amplify it. Especially when that talent is rooted in authenticity and a deep understanding of cultural impact.
As Chicago News Weekly celebrates her voice, we celebrate the woman behind the signature red lip, the statement hat, and the strategic insight. Linda doesn’t just dress for power, she dresses to empower.
Luxury Is Personal. Legacy Is Built.
At HBL, we are proud to have Linda Gray shaping our fashion & beauty strategy in Los Angeles and beyond. Her recognition in Chicago News Weekly is well-deserved, and just the beginning.
Congratulations, Linda. Your vision continues to inspire clients, brands, and our entire global network.
