### **A Trusted Production Team Member**
Sarah is a valued and trusted member of any production team, bringing her extensive experience to music, TV, and film sets. After college, she began her career at Warner Bros. Records in the A&R department, where she developed a multifaceted approach to supporting the media industry. One of her most rewarding career experiences was working at Geronimo Productions, a company owned by director and producer Dr. Dre and Phil Atwell. She managed the offices and handled production coordination on set, including costume and set design, shopping, and organizational duties.
Geronimo Productions produced iconic music videos for Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, N.W.A., and Eminem, including the celebrated *My Name Is*, on which Sarah worked. She later held a marketing role in Interscope Records' international department before gaining experience at Sony Music's headquarters in Germany. Her career took an exciting turn when she was entrusted with media promotion and production coordination for Michael Jackson's *HIStory Tour* in Germany, working alongside the legendary band Oasis. Additionally, she managed festival production for Korn, including *Rock am Ring* and *Rock im Park*. Her résumé also includes working on music video sets with Toni Braxton and Mary J. Blige.
### **From Music to Film and Television**
Sarah has contributed to major film and television productions, bringing her expertise to big-budget movies, Netflix originals, and popular TV series. Her costuming credits include *Sucker Punch*, *American Horror Story: 1984*, *#blackAF*, *Judas and the Black Messiah*, and *Grown-ish*. No project is too big or small-her ability to adapt to different productions makes her an invaluable asset on set.
### **Styling for Print, Hollywood, and High-Profile Campaigns**
Beyond film and television, Sarah has curated fashion and lingerie advertorial campaigns, as well as magazine covers for *Guess*, *Marciano*, *Esquire*, *FHM*, and *Oxygen*. She also played a pivotal role in special lingerie editions for *Flex* and *Muscle & Fitness*. As head of wardrobe at *Playboy* magazine for three years, she focused on celebrity covers, most notably designing a striking cover featuring Pamela Anderson, inspired by *La Dolce Vita*. Born in Rome, where the iconic film was shot, Sarah was the perfect choice for the concept.
Her styling talents remain in high demand for those looking to create an unforgettable look in print, TV, film, or live events. She has also been a key figure in designing for entertainment, advertising, and promotional projects, including billboards and campaigns for Bacardi, Crown Royal, Budweiser, and the *Lingerie Bowl*, as well as major calendars and cigarette company advertisements.
### **Designing and Innovating in Fashion**
Throughout her career, Sarah has designed and manufactured thousands of custom looks, including promotional clothing and uniforms-most notably for Miller Lite. While working on an ambitious *Guess* advertising campaign, a pair of shorts she designed was later picked up and sold by the brand. Her influence extended into *Playboy's Lingerie Bowl* special, where her custom-designed shorts became a signature piece, later incorporated into her Musotica fitness line.
Reflecting on her career, Sarah shares: *"Being a stylist in this fast-paced industry has allowed me to quickly identify what's missing in the marketplace and create designs or direct shoots that meet my clients' specific and diverse needs. I began designing and sourcing hard-to-find fashions that would look incredible. I created my own fitness and swimsuit lines simply because I couldn't find exactly what I needed for my clients, which include celebrities, directors, and photographers."*
### **Entrepreneurship & Musotica: A Fashion Visionary**
Musotica became the perfect extension of Sarah's expertise, allowing her to design and handpick pieces tailored for the industry. With limited capital, she strategically expanded her collection, focusing on timeless, high-quality designs.
*"A *Playboy* cover needs to be timeless for at least 10 years, and that's how I began designing. Sure, I add colors and fabrics, but my core styling remains the same,"* she explains.
It wasn't long before top production companies, advertising agencies, and photographers sought out her expertise, recognizing her keen eye for styling and her ability to craft visually compelling looks for projects, appearances, and promotional events.
*"Production and advertising agencies trust my ability to sell through styling, alongside my professional wardrobe styling experience,"* Sarah adds.
With a career spanning multiple industries-fashion, music, film, and production-Sarah Wallner continues to set trends, elevate brands, and leave a lasting impact on the world of entertainment and fashion.
