Barbra Horowitz is a personal stylist, on-air personality and west coast fashion correspondent for British Vogue online. She is now an author of the new book "Closet Control".
Barbra has worked with fashion models and celebrities including comedienne Chelsea Handler, Jessica Tuck (High School Musical), Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill) and the two meanie moms on "The New Adventures of Old Christine", Tricia O'Kelley and Alex Horner. However, Barbra's true passion is playing the role of "the people's stylist", spreading the word that working with an image consultant is not just for the red carpet or the rich and famous anymore.
A nationally recognized personal stylist, Barbra is frequently flown around the country to work with women and men, teaching them her eco-selfish and economical approach to fashion. As Barbra likes to say, "I am not hugging trees, but there are shades of green in everything I do."
Barbra comes by her clever sense of style not as a learned skill but as a way of life. Her father sold high-end men's wear at discounted pricing, and her mother is an out-of-the-box, gifted jewelry designer. Starting out in retail, Barbra later worked in the modeling industry for eight years and handled top models turned actresses Charlize Theron, Shannon Elizabeth and Bijou Phillips.
In 2000, she launched a line of re-cut t-shirts called Rigged Tee Shirt Couture carried by Los Angeles high-end boutiques Fred Segal and Madison. Barbra later created the Rigged Tee Party where she would custom cut her tops for party guests. To date, Barbra has deconstructed more than 3,000 tops at tee parties hosted by both individuals and corporations including Guess, Miss Sixty, Sony and Nike.
Barbra is the host of her own internet radio program "Fashion 411 - It's Never Just About The Clothing!" on Karma Sol every Wednesday.
Barbara now offers personal styling services online. Says Barbra, "I'm very excited. My virtual styling services lets people work with me from all over the world. With a web cam and laptop, the possibilities are endless."
Barbra Horowitz and her work have been featured in People, Rolling Stone, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly and DailyCandy.com as well as in numerous fashion trend blogs.
Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. In your session you will:
•Have your wardrobe pruned to what fits you and what works for your body.
•I will teach you how to resell your clothing to make money for the next season's must-have's.
•Learn to buy off-price, so when you do sell your clothing your ROI is higher.
•How your clothing fits, is more important than the tag that hangs inside.
•Learn to dress the part of your body that you have a hard time with.
•I will create fun, compelling, eclectic outfits that you can simply import into your computer and Voila...Outfits for every occasion.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. What are you wearing today?
What happens when you look in your closet?
Do your purchases make sense for your budget?
Are you buying to fit into the current trends but feel frustrated?
Do you shop emotionally?
Do you dress the part you hate and not your whole body?
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Barbra's true passion is playing the role of "The People's Stylist", spreading the word that working with an image consultant is not just for the red carpet or the rich and famous anymore.
A nationally recognized personal stylist, Barbra is frequently flown around the country to work with women and men, teaching them her "eco-selfish" and economical approach to fashion. As Barbra likes to say, "I am not hugging trees, but there are shades of green in everything I do."
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. So, what are the perks of working with me?
•I bring in some of the best Los Angeles and NY designers, all at wholesale. It's as if you're sitting in the designers showroom without a single dollar marked up for me.
•I have a detailed eye for how clothing should fit, I can rework any garment into countless other possibilities.
•I'm known for reworking sentimental favorites - like your 21st birthday sequined ensemble - into current creations.
•I know how to shop second hand and at flea markets. I create looks right out of this month's magazines for pennies of the designer price tage
•I know where to cheat and where to splurge.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. Want to create your biggest career success while finding the love of your life? What if you've got it all? Sometimes the biggest connection is the one you make within your own sense of style. Knowing when to buy/how to wear and when to sell has Horowitz's clients spending less, wearing more and looking completely ageless.
