Preston Konrad is a celebrity stylist who knows a thing or two about dressing stars for big events. He sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about some of the biggest trends hitting the red carpet this season and what he's heard about how celebrities are going to honor the #metoo movement.
