Fashion stylist and wardrobe consultant, Olivia prefers the initial meeting with her clients to be at their homes so that she can assess their lifestyle as well as their wardrobe.

Often clients panic and discard most of their old clothes before she arrives, so she always asks them not to do so, as very often a new look can be created using existing items and matching them differently.

In order to analyse a client’s wardrobe and style, Olivia establishes a personal profile which is based on age, size, shape, skin tone, hair colour, likes and dislikes, and many other factors, but also budget, shops used, social engagements, travelling, children, work environment, gathering as much information possible in order to compile a wardrobe to the client’s lifestyle

Olivia stresses that Trinny and Susannah’s “hands-on style”, as seen in the BBC series “What Not to Wear”, is not one that she would enjoy herself and, although she is very honest in her opinion, she is not rude – despite being French!

Arriving at an ideal wardrobe is a process that is not instantaneous but is achieved over a period of time allowing the client to gain and develop that new-found confidence.
