You may not know Molly Dickson by her photo, but you definitely know her work.
I knew the moment I felt it, Dickson says.
It was Lana at Coachella.

Coachella was a beast in and of itself," she says.
“There were two weekends and it was just really long hours, and we were very exhausted.
But when she got on stage, I started crying.

It was so beautiful.
I was essentially paying to intern for free, she says.
We started off with 23 interns, and by the end of it, there were maybe eight.

Interning is a very good filter process for whos really serious about it.
I told Leslie, I cant give you 110% anymore.
That was when I left her and I started doing it on my own, which was scary.

A major career milestone came in 2022 when Sink was promoting her filmThe Whaleon the festival circuit.
Dickson used it as an opportunity to usher her from aStranger Thingskid to a young auteur.
I remember being on set and the strap of her dress fell down.
Bottega Veneta
I was like,Oh my God, your dad is going to kill me, Dickson says.
She never rushed me into that though, which Im so grateful for.
When she was doing press forThe Whale, thats when we showcased her turning into a woman.

She wore that McQueen gown that had cutouts, and it was kind of sheer.
That was probably the sexiest look that shed ever done.
She is the embodiment of sunshine and laughter which is incredibly rare in fashion, she says.
Balmain
Dicksons clients, it seems, value her beyond the clothing.
Molly feels like a sister and is a true friend.
I trust her explicitly, and Im instantly comfortable around her, Sink says.

Im lucky to have her on my team, and just in my life in general.
Dickson open to learning from her clients, too.
Sydney, for example, loves to try different things, she says of Sweeney.

I want to play different roles, and I want to have fun with fashion.
I dont want to be put in one box.
Some days I want to be girly, some days I want to be sexy, Dickson remembers.

I was like,Wow,Ive never looked at it that way.
Getting there starts during fittings.
I want to create an environment where fashion is meant to be fun.
