One-to-one work

My work begins with the person, not an idea of how she should look.

Clothing is personal. It carries histories, habits, preferences, expectations, and sometimes a great deal of unnecessary noise.

I work with women to understand their relationship to what they wear, what already exists in their wardrobes, and what might be worth exploring.

I bring an editor’s eye, a knowledge of clothing and designers, and a willingness to question familiar assumptions. Sometimes that means introducing something new. Sometimes it means seeing what’s already there differently.

The work is collaborative, individual, and grounded in the life of the person I’m working with.

From there, the work can take different forms.

Sometimes the process is more exploratory: establishing direction, looking at proportion, identifying useful references, reconsidering what is already in the wardrobe, and developing a clearer way of making decisions.

Sometimes I take a more active role — sourcing clothing, narrowing options, coordinating purchases, and working through fit, proportion, and usefulness as pieces arrive.

For more comprehensive work, we look at the wardrobe as a whole: what is earning its place, what no longer belongs, what is missing, and how everything connects. That process can include sourcing, editing, ordering, and an in-person fit session where decisions are made together.

The level of support depends on what you need. Some clients want to be deeply involved in the discovery. Others want me to manage more of the process.

What remains consistent is the thinking behind it: the work is specific to the person, rather than built around a formula, a trend, or the idea of becoming someone else.
