MONA’S PHILOSOPHY
“When style comes from the heart, you are at ease and your dress is effortless, polished, and appropriate.”
— Ramona Bryan
STYLE THAT FEELS LIKE YOU
It starts with understanding the person in the clothes.
Mona’s enthusiasm for styling comes from her understanding of how clothing can influence confidence, mood and the way we see ourselves.
She works with your lifestyle, personality, time and budget, whether you are dressing for everyday life, work or an important milestone. The aim is a wardrobe that feels personal, considered and easy to wear.
Your wardrobe should express your personality. Mona’s approach begins with who you are and how you live.
EASE
Enjoy getting dressed.
Thoughtful editing and styling can make your wardrobe more manageable and give familiar pieces a fresh perspective.
POSSIBILITY
See something new.
An experienced eye and a broad range of resources open up new combinations, discoveries and ways to wear what you love.
A CURIOUS EYE, WHEREVER SHE GOES
Inspiration without borders.
Mona works with a broad range of resources to bring different looks and brands into her clients’ wardrobes. Her travels have also inspired a collection of unique finds, selected with her clients in mind.
That same curiosity runs through her journal: stories about fashion, designers, culture and the people behind the clothes.
