History
Now: About Stilo Style Diary Magazine
Founded in 2008 by Carolyn “Carol Moda” Sylvester and the late international fashion model Trudi Ferguson, Stilo Style Diary Magazine has grown into The Global Style Diary — a defining voice at the intersection of fashion, beauty, and culture.
From its beginnings, Stilo has embraced a global perspective, spotlighting creativity, individuality, and cultural influence from around the world. The magazine has featured visionary designers, emerging talents, and style innovators shaping fashion’s evolving narrative — from couture ateliers in Paris and Milan to vibrant street style movements in New York, Lagos, and Seoul.
With its editorial sophistication and cultural depth, Stilo Style Diary goes beyond trends to explore the art, stories, and spirit that define modern fashion. Each feature reflects a commitment to diversity, innovation, and authenticity — values that have guided Stilo since its founding.
Today, under the continued leadership of Carolyn “Carol Moda” Sylvester, Stilo Style Diary Magazine stands as both a tribute to Trudi Ferguson’s legacy and a forward-looking platform for global fashion dialogue. Uniting established icons and new voices alike, Stilo remains dedicated to redefining what it means to live beautifully, boldly, and in style.
Founder’s Note
“When Trudi and I created Stilo, our dream was to give global fashion a home — a space where every culture, every designer, and every creative could be celebrated. Her spirit and vision continue to inspire everything we do. Stilo is, and always will be, a reflection of that shared dream — fashion without borders, style without limits.”
