A Study of Style: Howard Ashman

Disney’s finest and our generation’s Musical Magician.

Today’s style star is someone who has affected my entire outlook of life for a very very long time.

Since I was a kid, I have been a huge Disney fan. All my favourite things were touched by Disney in some way or another and I was highly unconscious of it…until I grew up and connected the dots.

Looking back…

• the kinds of music that fills my heart,
• the kinds of movies that make me cry, and
• the moments in life that stayed with me as memories

All these things had a Disney-ness to them. A sort of childlike magic.

I’m absolutely positive it comes from the one thing that Disney does so well—

HEART-FELT STORYTELLING.

And there is an amazing duo who has helped lift these stories into the stratosphere for me…

1. The musical genius Alan Menken and

2. my childhood hero…
