From Arkansas to Lady Gaga's Arm: The Rise of Hollywood's Labubu Stylist Marko Monroe!

MARKO MONROE: FROM HOLLYWOOD STYLIST TO LABUBU GENIUS

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood stylist Marko Monroe has left his mark on the world by becoming the go-to designer for custom Labubus. These mischievous gremlin toys have taken the entertainment industry by storm, and it's not just because of their adorable faces. No, these Labubus are getting makeovers fit for royalty, courtesy of Monroe's incredible talent.

The Arkansas native has been in the fashion game for a while, but it wasn't until he started customizing Labubus that his career really took off. His big break came when Lady Gaga was spotted carrying one of his creations - a bold red cloak-wearing doll with its own sleek black bob wig. We're not sure what's more impressive: Monroe's skills as a designer or the fact that he managed to get his designs into the hands of A-listers like Gaga.

But it wasn't just Gaga who fell in love with Monroe's work. The cast of Netflix's Wednesday got their own Labubus, designed after their respective gothic characters, and even Marc Jacobs couldn't resist getting in on the fun. And let's not forget about Blackpink's Lisa, who wore one of Monroe's designs on stage last month - a hot pink Labubu that perfectly matched her outfit.

We caught up with Monroe to talk about his journey from Hollywood stylist to Labu genius. "I was feeling stuck after a 'lull' in work," he explained. "But then I got this crazy idea to take apart my own Labubu and redesign it into something entirely new." And thus, a labor of love was born.

Monroe's first custom Labubu was inspired by his Dachshunds - yes, you read that right! The talented designer even claimed the original doll as his own after his boyfriend bought it off eBay. "I carried it everywhere with me," he said with a laugh. "It was like my little sidekick."

But what really sets Monroe apart is his attention to detail and dedication to creating one-of-a-kind pieces. He's been known to spend hours working on a single Labu, pouring over every stitch and detail to ensure that it's perfect.

And the results are nothing short of stunning. Even Kasing Lung, the creator of the original Labubus, has taken notice of Monroe's talents. "He's following me on Instagram now," Monroe said with a grin. "That's major recognition for me."

Of course, no discussion about Monroe's work would be complete without mentioning his collaboration with Lisa's stylist Brett. The two worked together to create an adorable hot pink Labubu that perfectly matched Lisa's outfit. "I was like, 'Please use the scraps from her custom look, it will make it even more special,'" Monroe said.

As for what's next for this talented designer? Well, let's just say he's got his work cut out for him. With orders pouring in and a reputation to uphold, Monroe is busier than ever. But we heard rumors that Madonna might be next on the list - if she reads this, your Labu is coming, girl!
