Signature Transformation
An end-to-end engagement that builds a refined, liveable wardrobe—designed for your life on and off camera.
What You're Getting
This is not styling—it's complete character architecture for your life. I apply the same costume design methodology that created unforgettable on-screen characters to develop your personal style identity.
Unlike typical styling services that focus on trends or shopping, the Signature Transformation uses my proprietary 5-Act Character Development Method to create a wardrobe that authentically expresses who you are and who you're becoming. This is transformation at the deepest level—not just new clothes, but a new relationship with how you present yourself to the world.
Who This Is For
- Women ready for complete wardrobe transformation, not surface-level updates
- Professionals navigating major life transitions (career changes, divorce, empty nest)
- Executives building or refining their leadership presence
- Individuals who value quality, longevity, and intentional style over trends
- Those seeking expert guidance on investment dressing and sustainable wardrobe building
- Clients who understand that exceptional style requires expert partnership and time
The 5-Act Journey
Each act builds upon the last, creating a comprehensive transformation that goes far beyond shopping
Discovery
Understanding You
We begin with deep character analysis. This isn't a surface-level questionnaire—it's comprehensive exploration of who you are, what you do, and who you're becoming.
What Happens:
- Life Mapping Session: Career trajectory, lifestyle requirements, aspirations, daily routines
- Body Analysis & Proportion Study: Understanding your unique physical characteristics
- Color Theory Consultation: Determining your optimal color palette based on skin tone, hair, eyes
- Personality & Presence Assessment: How you want to be perceived, your authentic style tendencies
- Current Wardrobe Review (preliminary): Understanding what you currently own and wear
Analysis
Your Current Wardrobe, Assessed
Comprehensive evaluation of your existing wardrobe. What stays, what goes, what needs tailoring—and most importantly, why.
What Happens:
- Complete Closet Inventory: Pieces photographed, catalogued, and evaluated
- Fit Evaluation: Detailed assessment of how each garment fits your body
- Cost-Per-Wear Analysis: Understanding the true value of what you own
- Gap Identification: What's missing from your wardrobe to achieve your style goals
- Keep/Alter/Donate Decision Making: Strategic editing with clear rationale
- Organization System Implementation: Creating a functional, beautiful closet
Design
Your Style Architecture
Strategic planning phase. We design your new wardrobe before purchasing a single item—ensuring every piece serves multiple purposes.
What Happens:
- Mood Board Creation: Visual representation of your style direction
- Capsule Wardrobe Planning: Building interchangeable pieces that create maximum outfits
- Shopping Strategy Development: Priority pieces, investment allocation, timing
- Budget Planning: Where to invest heavily vs where to save
- Brand & Retailer Research: Identifying the best sources for your needs
- Tailoring Budget Allocation: Planning for alterations and custom pieces
Production
Curated Sourcing & Tailoring
This is where we bring your plan to life. I personally guide you through each sourcing session—narrowing choices, refining fit, and ensuring every addition aligns with your wardrobe architecture. You'll shop with intention, clarity, and expert oversight—never guesswork.
What Happens:
- Guided Shopping Sessions: We source new pieces together, focusing on fit, proportion, and longevity
- Designer & Retail Coordination: I liaise directly with boutiques and brands to locate and hold options for review
- Vintage & Investment Sourcing: Access to select vendors and archival pieces when appropriate
- Made-to-Measure Support: Consultation on custom pieces or tailoring where ideal fit is essential
- Tailoring Oversight: I coordinate fittings with trusted artisans to ensure precise execution
- Accessory Integration: Shoes, jewelry, and bags refined to balance the overall wardrobe
- Iterative Review: Adjustments made as selections come together to ensure cohesion and wearability
Direction
Integration & Ongoing Support
This is where your wardrobe becomes second nature. Together, we refine how to combine, adapt, and maintain your looks across seasons, events, and life changes. I guide you through every adjustment so your wardrobe continues to serve you—effortlessly and with polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I budget for wardrobe purchases in addition to the service fee?
This varies greatly based on your current wardrobe and goals. Foundation tier clients typically invest $8,000-$15,000 in new pieces. Signature clients often invest $15,000-$30,000. Couture clients may invest $30,000-$100,000+ for complete wardrobe transformation with luxury and investment pieces. We discuss your wardrobe budget during the discovery call and Act III planning phase.
Do I need to live in NYC or LA?
No. While in-person sessions in NYC or LA provide the fullest experience, I offer virtual Signature Transformations for clients anywhere in the world. Virtual clients receive the same 5-Act process with consultations via video, digital wardrobe review, online shopping curation, and digital styling portal. Some clients do a hybrid approach—key sessions in-person, others virtual.
How much time will I need to commit?
Some weeks (especially shopping weeks) may require more time. This is a significant commitment, which is why transformation is so comprehensive. Post-program ongoing support requires minimal time—quarterly check-ins and occasional questions.
What if I need to pause the program?
Life happens. We can pause for up to 30 days if needed (illness, travel, work crisis). The timeline may extend but the process remains intact. Longer pauses require discussion to ensure momentum and effectiveness.
What if I don't like the pieces I select?
I suggest pieces based on extensive analysis in Acts I-III, but you have complete say in what you actually purchase. The beauty of Act II & Act III is efficiency—you're only seeing pieces that match your criteria. In practice, clients love 70-80% of suggested items, which is exponentially higher than shopping alone. Nothing is purchased without your approval.
Can my partner/spouse be involved?
Absolutely. Many clients appreciate partner input, especially for investment pieces and special occasion styling. Couture tiers include partner consultation sessions. Foundation and Signature tiers can add partner sessions for additional fee.
What happens after the 6-month support period ends?
You'll have the skills and tools to continue independently. Many clients transition to our Ongoing Style Direction service (quarterly check-ins, event styling, seasonal refreshes) or work with me on an as-needed basis for specific events or wardrobe additions. You're never locked in, but support is available when you want it.
