I'm A Dirty Little Secret
Most of my styling clients don’t tell people about me. A lot of my clients are really, really private people.
Like here’s the pics I can share from when I was in LA styling Saudi royalty for her press features.
Others just don’t want people to know they hired a stylist. I’m hidden from colleagues, acquaintances, and sometimes even family.
One time, I was invited to an event that my client was hosting. One of her guests was also my client. When the host asked the man how we knew each other, I smiled when he said “mutual friends from college”. I never reveal my clients' work with me, unless they do. (Or they give permission.)
Why do some clients not talk about it? There are many reasons.
Some people don’t want people to judge them for working with a stylist.
Our society acts like dressing well should come naturally to everyone just because we put clothes on every day.
People don’t want to appear "trying too hard", vain or superficial, or elitist for wanting to dress well.
People worry telling people they have a stylist will make them seem less grounded or real.
Some people want to keep me a secret because they’d rather the world believe they did it all on their own.
Others are high profile or require discretion from people who come into their homes and sharing their lives with a service provider.
I love that my clients have amazing outfits and like to take credit when they get complimented.
I’m their dirty little secret. And I don’t mind.

If you’ve been worrying about discretion but wanted to try professional styling by someone who has styled CEO’s, Saudi royalty, and major players across multiple industries yet will never spill the dirty little secret of having a personal stylist, set up a call and we can see if it’s the right fit for you.
