Founder of Always Stylish.

About Lisa O’Shaughnessy

Fashion Designer - Personal Stylist

My passion for design, fashion, and style began at a very young age. As a child, I was always painting, sketching, and creating - starting with dolls, then moving on to making my own clothes. This creative spark led me to pursue a degree in fashion design, which became the foundation for my career. Working as a fashion designer, designing for renowned brands like Tommy Hilfiger, M&S and Zara to name a few. Design also took me around the world - from New York and Paris to Delhi, Hong Kong, and Istanbul - giving me invaluable firsthand experience of how culture, style and fashion intertwine across different corners of the globe. As well as becoming a dab hand at packing!

In the midst of my design career, I had the opportunity to style a friend who had declared, “I have nothing to wear,” for her birthday. Witnessing the joy and positive reactions from her and others that night was a ‘lightbulb’ moment for me. It sparked the realisation that I could share my skills to help others discover and refine their personal style. In 2014, I diversified into personal styling and completed a styling course at Aston & Hayes, initially balancing both freelance design and personal styling. Today, I focus exclusively on styling individuals businesses, as well as offering a bespoke clothing service for women and men.

How I Work

Through being both a fashion designer and a stylist I have a keen eye for detail and a unique understanding of how clothes are constructed. How fabrics hang on different body shapes and how garments be easily altered to achieve the perfect fit.

My design head focuses on the fit of each piece, while my stylist’s eye ensures the entire look is cohesive and crucially the right look for you both physically and mentally. Together, both skillsets combine to elevate each individuals personal style.

I encourage clients to explore and broaden their style horizons, whilst always respecting their individual needs. My aim is for clients to feel confident and empowered no matter the occasion.

I’m also able to work with clients who are interested in building a more sustainable wardrobe. Learn more about my approach to Sustainability.

My clients range from professionals, executives, those in or aspiring to leadership roles, business owners and high-net-worth individuals. Working with clients to make them look their very best both personally and professionally.
