"Well, Idris is 6-foot-2 and he loves sharp clothing," says Cheryl Konteh, who has the best job ever.Author:Fawnia Soo HooUpdated:Aug 13, 2019Original:Aug 13, 2019We all know that Idris Elba looks amazing in pretty much anything: A super-villain suit, a natty wool coat, reading glasses and even chunky fur outerwear and a floppy hat with cat ears. Of course, those are just the Golden Globe and double SAG winner's on-screen roles.
Konteh, who started her fashion career in editorial at the Sunday Times and InStyle U.K., first met Elba on a magazine shoot. "We got on and then he booked me for something else and something else and the rest is history," she explains. "Now we collaborate on lots of projects." "Styling Idris for events is really cool, but working with him on our own line is really, really exciting," says Konteh. "I love it and he loves it. But the one thing I know is when Idris wears something, people go crazy about it." Konteh and Elba work with a design team to create the 2HR Set "drops," for which she also styles the ad campaigns.
After working with him for so long on so many projects, Konteh developed a natural instinct for what works on Elba. "I know 90% of what Idris likes. I know the kind of styles, where to go, the shapes. It's not difficult," she says, possibly with a shrug. And, as many of us can relate, Konteh always has him on the brain — but professionally speaking, people, professionally.
