Allie Brandwein Wardrobe and Image Consultant

Introduction: *Based in New York City, I serve professional men and women in both the New York and Chicagoland areas. My original Thumbtack profile is for the New York area and I'm so excited to have just created a profile for Chicago! You can see a few screenshots of my original profile on this page and feel free to click the link in my bio to view the actual page. * I have over a decade of experience in the fashion industry in the areas of design, styling, onset styling for photo shoots and product development. The knowledge I gained from these diverse work experiences allows me to help others reach their own personal style goal. It’s all about staying authentic to who you are and creating your own personal style. Closet Organizing Service: This service is spectacular for anyone's pre- and post-move. For those who just want to get organized and get rid of all that clutter, it’s fantastic. I tailor my service based on each client's needs, whether it be helping to decide what to keep, store, pack or donate, requiring things to be folded, piled, photographed and catalogued so they can easily find items when they get to their forever home. With my help, the process of packing, unpacking, and organizing becomes efficient and seamless. *My motto is simplify your closet and simplify your life. Wardrobe Consulting & Styling: Let’s face it, unless you are a fashionista or fashionisto, everyone can use a bit of help when it comes to fashion, like knowing you can mix textures and patterns, what colors to wear and what silhouettes complement your body type, as well as how to look polished and put together. My services are unique. I get to know all of my clients as we work together, and I can decide what will complement their body and their personality. I make sure to style them in looks that suit them, not me, not just because it’s trending, at the same time, staying current and modern. We work together in transforming their outward appearance with a more polished look increasing their self-confidence and positive attitude. I love versatility in life and clothing. I like to get the most for my money, so I make sure to find pieces that can be worn many ways. I show my clients how to get multiple looks out of one piece by accessorizing and styling. Service offerings include the following: - wardrobe edit - shopping - gift shopping - styling session - wedding styling I full-heartedly believe that your wardrobe and your style directly reflects who you are and your lifestyle. You should be wearing the clothing, not the other way around. I specialize in curating the perfect wardrobe by editing/organizing closets and shopping with clients. Passing along insider information I’ve gathered over the years, I help cultivate independence and self-empowerment for my clients so they may find the confidence they need to take charge of their personal style. I am extremely passionate about helping others. I love the look on my clients' faces when we are done working together and they realize how great they look and feel! Most people just need a little insider information. That’s the best part of what I do.
