Celebrity clients of superstylist Monica Rose are parting ways with her under mysterious circumstances, we’re told.
In recent days, several longtime devotees — including top models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, as well as reality stars Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian — have stepped away from her service.
The fashion world is buzzing with theories about the schism — which began several weeks ago — as the mass exodus of famous clients happened so fast.
Rose posted pictures of Hadid in a look designed by Rose as recently as three weeks ago, and Khloé was referring to Rose as her stylist just five weeks ago.
Adding to the intrigue, Rose recently hired a lawyer to keep some of the wilder scuttlebutt out of the headlines.
It’s believed that Rose still counts Cara Delevingne and Chanel Iman among her high-profile clients, and a source told Page Six on Friday that Chrissy Teigen is still “on board.”
W Magazine reported on Friday that Kendall has hired Beyoncé’s stylist Marni Senofonte.
Rose — who also used to style Kim Kardashian, and was credited with overhauling Kim’s look into her much-admired pared-down monochromatic style — had been close to the famous family since 2007, when she met Kim while working in an LA boutique.
Rose has since become a fashion powerhouse, with the Web site Fashionista even identifying a “Monica Rose effect” for her part in “shaping the aesthetic of the social-media generation.”
An industry insider called the split “crazy,” adding that Rose put the Kardashian clan “on the map” in the fashion world.
Although the Kardashians had interacted frequently with Rose on Instagram, as of Friday none of them were following Rose on Instagram.
Surprisingly, Rose gushed about Kendall in an interview with Teen Vogue published on Friday, saying that the model is open to new fashion ideas. “She’s so awesome,” Rose said. “She’s the coolest chick.”
