-
I provide styling services for clients of all genders and nationalities, including entire families, catering to a wide range of budgets from high street to luxury. My clients are typically age 25+ busy individuals, executives and professionals who want to look their best but lack the time to handle all the details themselves.
-
With 25 years of experience as both a fashion designer and professional stylist, I approach clothing and style from a unique informed perspective compared to the average person. My expertise enables me to discern what will suit you best and how to locate those items , both in-person and online.
-
Styling is a personalised experience, not a one-size-fits-all solution. By gathering information through a questionnaire or wardrobe edit and conducting a video chat, I collaborate with you to create a style that reflects your personality, taste, lifestyle, body shape, colouring, profession, and budget
-
Depending on availability my last shopping appointment starts usually at 3 pm. As outside of Harrods and Selfridges the vast majority of stores in Central London close at around 7pm.
-
You are under no obligation purchase items during the appointment.
However, if you've opted to invest in my personal styling services, I strongly recommend both purchasing items and gathering ideas. Drawing from my extensive experience in fashion design and styling, my recommendations are tailored to your budget, taste, and body type. My goal isn't to maximize your spending, but rather to cultivate satisfied, stylish, confident clients. Happy clients contribute to the growth of my business and help maintain my professional reputable image.
-
No, stores and brands typically stock items that correspond to the current season. While some unseasonal pieces can be sourced through online styling, I generally recommend shopping for items suited to the current season.
That said, corporate workwear and suiting for both men and women is an exception to the rule and can be bought all through the year.
-
Yes, though stores in London typically only cater for sizes 6-16 sometimes 18 for women and XS - XL for men.
Rather than restricting you to a limited selection of stores to avoid potential disappointment, I may recommend online shopping. Where the range of options is significantly broader. While I understand this may not be ideal, my goal is to ensure each client enjoys the best shopping experience possible.
-
Yes, it is completely fine to bring a guest with you for a personal shopping appointment. I do ask though that you limit it to just the one guest.
-
My clients all have varying budgets. To make the experience worthwhile for in-person shopping, as a guideline I recommend 1.5k + for 3 hours.
Being mindful of your budget helps me plan your appointment effectively, ensuring we make the most of it.
Unless otherwise requested by the client, I will never suggest allocating your entire budget to a single item. In such instances, clients typically allocate an amount for clothing and shoes, then another separate budget for designer bags, watches, etc.
-
Personal styling is exactly that, personal. It’s a world away from editorial work, where retouched and highly curated images are on display. My clients value their privacy and prefer to keep their photos confidential and out of circulation.
Every individual is unique, and what works for one client may not necessarily work for another. My approach and experience ensures that your style reflects your individuality and meets your specific needs.
-
If you're booking more than six weeks in advance, a £350 deposit (covering two hours) is required, with full payment due before the appointment.
For appointments within six weeks or any weekend bookings, full payment is required at the time of booking to secure your slot.
Sunday appointments if available incur a 20% surcharge.
