How do you determine a client’s personal style?

I sit down with each client and get to know their personality, lifestyle, needs, and wants. That combined with their body type and proportions shapes their style. 

Where would you search for clothes?

Boutiques, showrooms, department stores, retail chains, and online retailers 

How would you source rare items?

I would utilize international websites as well as vintage stores/sites

What would you do if a client insisted on purchasing an ill-fitting item?

Advise against it and offer other options but at the end of the day its the clients choice to wear what they feel best in

Which current trends would you incorporate into your clothing selections?

If I’m pulling for a client it’s not about trends, we try to focus on building a capsule collection with quality closet staples first and then layering in a few fun pieces according to their wish list. 

Are there any designers that are your go-to?

 Mostly designers with classic  tailored pieces, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Dior, Carolina Herrera
