Who is your typical client?
I have no one type of client. I currently have served women ranges from 26-70. I’m no longer accepting male clients. The common denominator is that most have experienced some sort of change in their life to elicit a desire to work on their image. The myriad of motivations can include transitioning jobs, a move to a new city, pre or post pregnancy, getting in shape or a divorce. What they all share is the value and link between success and image. They realize they are missing out by not working with me.

What is it like to work with you? How does it work?
First an initial conversation either on the phone or in person allows me to cover your needs, wants and lifestyle. I then put together a package that will address those needs. It’s a highly customized ‘couture’ like service that will enable you to love what you wear.

Do you dress your clients to look like you?
I may be a chameleon and dress by what inspires me in the moment but I do not impose my personal style on my clients. I help my clients unearth and explore their your own personal style.

Do you only dress models?
No. While I do have extensive experience in the fashion world dressing models, many of my clients are ‘real people’ with real bodies. It is fairly common for my clients to have challenging size/fit issues often wearing different sizes on the top vs bottom.

Can you make me a dress?
I do not sew personally. However, I do work with custom tailors to create one-of-a-kind creations for clients. See my post STYLIST VS DESIGNER about my approach.

What are your style influences for your own style?
Blaire Waldorf of Gossip Girl, Ginger Rogers in Swing Time, Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief and Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina.

What if I don’t live in New York? Can you help?
Absolutely. We can work via Skype, email and telephone. I’ve also had clients fly in to dissect their wardrobes and shop with me in New York City.

I’m still trying to lose 5 pounds.
Should I hire you now or later? 5-10 pounds is really not going to make a difference in our work together and we can certainly shop for items that are good for fluctuating sizes. Why would you wait to get the best possible style infusion?

How do you make money?
Unlike personal shoppers, I do not make money based on how much you spend. My fees are for my expertise and time. I help women be their best selves by teaching them about their own body shape and coloring. My private one-on-one packages start at $995.

Where/how do you work?
While some clients prefer me to come to them, I do have a private workspace near the garment center in New York City for consulting sessions. When there is shopping to be done, we can either go together or I can pull items and show them in my space or from the comfort of your home or office.

How do we get started?
Tell me a little about yourself and I will contact you. Our conversation will be followed by a proposal and then we go from there.

Take the next step to being fabulous.
