He has styled Julianne Moore, Courteney Cox, Nicole Richie, Heidi Klum, Carolyn Murphy, Debra Messing, Anne Hathaway, Thandie Newton, Milla Jovovich, Mandy Moore, Ashley Judd, Amber Valletta and Christina Ricci for C covers since its September 2005 launch.

In addition to his magazine posts, Kotsiopoulos is a fashion consultant for select celebrities, socialites and CEOs. He is a frequent contributor to The Hollywood Reporter and has worked as a freelance stylist for publications including Details, New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, i-D, Entertainment Weekly, Interview, L’Uomo Vogue, InStyle as well as The New York Times Magazine.
