Introduction

Welcome! I’m so thrilled you’re here… I’m here to help you bring out your own unique style and authentic beauty so that you know (without a doubt) what looks amazing on you, so you feel radiantly yourself. The fact that you’re reading this means you’re on a journey to define your own personal style. The truth is fashion isn’t just about wearing clothes; it’s a form of storytelling that weaves a narrative around your personality and self- expression. It’s legacy work, leaving a sartorial imprint on your own history. Your wardrobe speaks volumes about who you are and who you aspire to be. Do you struggle with some of these things: • You have style, you keep up with the latest trends, but you don’t always feel good in the clothes you have and the clothing that you wear • You want to reinvent your style, reinvent yourself • You have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear • You feel that looking great requires being able to afford really expensive clothes • You feel discouraged and don’t put energy into what you are wearing • You don’t have time to put energy into shopping you are too busy with work or your family or both • You just don’t know what styles or colors look good on you • You are waiting to lose weight to feel good in your clothes and to feel good about how you look • You feel bored uninspired by the way you look Whether you’re seeking a complete style overhaul or want to pinpoint the most flattering pieces for your form, I’m here to guide you in curating a thoughtful capsule wardrobe. Together, we’ll select pieces that showcase your unique essence, showing the world what makes you so authentically, beautifully, wonderfully: YOU. Why work with me to fully embody the style of your dreams? With 30+ years in celebrity styling and costume design, I’ve worked with musicians on tour, styled films and commercials featuring celebrities, designed looks for actors and athletes, styled businesswoman and entrepreneurs, and created a clothing line for a nation-wide company in Japan. I’ve collaborated with renowned names you recognize, iconic brands you know (and probably love), models and actors on the rise. From Apple and Adidas to Goggle and Nike, Cindy Crawford to Ringo Star- and the list goes on….and now you get to experience this level of magic I bring all of this knowledge into creating a holistic experience with you. Through every exciting year, my passion remains the same: to help you identify and craft your personal style, in a way that feels both unique and authentic, while elevating and accentuating your natural beauty. Together, we’ll find what looks amazing on you, not just what the latest trend might be, or what looks good on someone else, but pieces and styles to love for years to come, so you always feel fully expressed & confident from the inside out This is what is unique about my approach. I want to help empower you to embody your own style, what looks amazing on you, not putting you in the latest trend to look like everyone else. Working with me 1:1 is where the real magic happens I offer a wide range of styling packages, both short term and long term, available in person in Los Angeles or through virtual sessions If packages are too much for you right now I offer a step by step styling experience where we focus on what is alive for you at the moment There are many different ways to work with me, see my a la carte menu below Here are some of the ways we can work together • Personal styling • Personal shopping, delivered to you in the comfort of your home: • Returns and exchanges, hassle-free: • Closet detox: • Closet organization: • Wardrobe review • Wardrobe and budget planning • Fitting sessions • Custom styling mood boards • Color Analysis • Styling packages and a la carte services • Custom design for special occasions, weddings, award shows and exclusive events I believe every person has their own perfect style expression waiting to be unveiled.

I can’t say enough great things about Debra! As someone who’s always enjoyed experimenting with my style and indulging in retail therapy, I found myself overwhelmed with too much buying and returning—and still feeling like my wardrobe wasn’t quite right. With a new office environment to adjust to, I wanted to refine my style with current, high-quality pieces that truly reflect me and help me dress the part. Debra went above and beyond. Instead of simply pushing trendy items, she took the time to truly understand my preferences and goals. She meticulously reviewed my entire wardrobe, helping me identify what works for the office, what’s better suited for casual settings, and what should be sold or donated. Thanks to her guidance, I now have a thoughtful strategy for my wardrobe. It’s easier to mix and match, and I’m spending smarter by only buying pieces that fit my lifestyle. Most importantly, I feel more confident and authentically myself every time I step out of the door. Debra’s expertise is invaluable, and I couldn’t recommend her more!

Debra has great creative flair and instincts and she can hone those talents to fit one's individual style for everyday work and leisure wear as well as those special occasions. She helped me with basic staples and added those special accessories that gave me confidence in my wardrobe choices as well as myself. Thank you Debra!

Debra is unequivocally one of the top stylists I have had the pleasure to work with. We met on the production for a national tv commercial for an international client and I instantly liked her level of professionalism and her approach to styling. The wardrobe that she chose for me fit my body type perfectly, which in turn kept me comfortable and confident all day! Not only is she especially talented in her field but she is a no-nonsense - straight to the point - kind person. I sure hope I get the opportunity to work with her again!

Debra has a deep understanding of fashion and style and an innate sense of what will work on each individual’s body to accentuate the best features as well as how to draw attention away from a person’s “problem areas”. She understands proportion and fit and my experience working with her has helped me edit my wardrobe to the best pieces and to see how I can work those pieces in different ways than I had thought of myself. She takes the time to understand her clients personalities and works with them to help them express themselves through their wardrobes, suggesting great ways to accessorize that really help to complete a look. She is very responsive and professional - highly recommend and will be calling on her again soon!

"I came to Deb when I was tired of feeling crappy in my clothes, tired of my look. In my sessions with Deb, she really showed me the subtle undertones behind my thoughts and choices related to my look, and helped me to enhance the beauty that is already there. She holds an incredible space for everything that comes up, and reflects back the worthiness I have to really choose myself. Deb is delightful and I'm really, really grateful for what she has given me. Through her work, I found a journey to myself that was not at all what I expected and there was such a beautiful softening around my own shaming of myself, my worthiness around clothing, my willingness to invest in myself, my talents and gifts.
