Chaise Dennis grew up on Minneapolis\u2019 North Side, descending from a fashionable family. His great-grandmother Bernadette Anderson was Prince<\/a>\u2019s unofficial foster mom<\/a>, and several of her children were the Purple One\u2019s bandmates and tailor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dennis<\/a> launched his career as a personal stylist at Nordstrom Mall of America, wrote a lifestyle column for Insight News and hosted a fashion radio show for KMOJ (89.9 FM). After moving to Los Angeles, he started styling celebrities for red carpets and magazines, including actor Edward Norton (for premieres of the Dylan biopic \u201cA Complete Unknown\u201d) and Apple CEO Tim Cook (gracing the cover of Variety).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We checked in with Dennis after he dressed Tramell Tillman of \u201cSeverance\u201d in a custom, white-on-white tuxedo for his best supporting actor Emmy win. Dennis shared what it\u2019s like to style Hollywood stars and how Minnesotans can up their fashion game. (This interview has been edited for length and clarity.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You\u2019re saying it right. My mom confused everyone with the \u201ci.\u201d Everyone\u2019s under the assumption that it\u2019s going to be like \u201cchaise lounge.\u201d [Excuses himself to take a call from Tillman.] <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

[Laughs] No, we\u2019re prepping for three big events and they\u2019re all kind of back-to-back-to-back. So we\u2019re just coordinating logistics, because he\u2019s filming \u201cSpider Man\u201d and timing and everything is all over the place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The FAIR School Crystal [a fine-arts magnet for middle schoolers] was the first place I really discovered a love for all things arts and potentially entertainment. Theater was the first thing I fell in love with, and then, of course, when you\u2019re in theater, you put on costumes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And having hip family members didn\u2019t hurt.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n

My family does have some legendary allure behind them. My great grandma [Bernadette Anderson] had a street named after her<\/a> last year and she\u2019s kind of an icon of Minneapolis. She raised her six kids along with Prince, so my uncle Andr\u00e9 [Cymone] <\/b>and Prince created all of the incredible music of the late \u201970s in her basement. I felt like I\u2019ve had them to look to stylistically. As well as my grandma and my grandpa, who were models in Minneapolis \u2014 she was a Miss Black Minnesota.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And your great aunt Sylvia Loveless-Amos helped Prince turn his sketches into his singular, flamboyant couture? <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n

She\u2019s an unsung hero. If you look at all of the imagery from the late \u201970s, early \u201980s, when the Minneapolis sound traveled nationwide, all of the looks had been designed by her, from creative direction to fabrication. Today, I look at mood boards and I see collections that come down the runway and Prince is a constant reference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
