Testimonials
“For decades now we have been finding new adventures to have, some of the most fun has been through Styling.
And what I love about you, Mich, is that you are always so on it! You know exactly what you want, you're prepared and you're fast. And you bring great clothes, so I don't have to think too much, which is always nice. After we've done it so long, it's just easy. It works perfectly.”
Olivia Newton-John
Entertainer, Activist
Michelle has quite literally changed my life. My confidence and enjoyment of my wardrobe has soared! Dressing each day is an absolute joy. The clutter is gone from my wardrobe and every piece I own is one I would love to wear.
She continues to teach me endless ways to co-ordinate my outfits and her lessons on the right proportions for my frame have been game changers. We’ve been working together for 10 joyful months and I sure hope it doesn’t end anytime soon! Michelle has become indispensable.”

“Michelle has made me much more adventurous with my clothes, and saved me from making quite a few expensive mistakes along the way! She knows my wardrobe, my size and my style, and is always looking out for beautiful designer pieces at great prices. I simply don't have the eye or the patience for all that searching.
We've been working together for over a year now, and I love that she regularly sends me things she thinks I'll like. She's introduced me to clothes I never would have considered wearing, and most have become absolute favorites.
Having Michelle on my side has solved so many everyday wardrobe frustrations, saved me money and, most importantly, given me so much more confidence in what I wear.”
Barbara McMahon
Journalist
“I absolutely love working with Michelle! I've worked in wardrobe on some pretty big films, so I know a thing or two about clothes, and I have a very particular style of my own. I love vintage designer pieces and things that are a little quirky, and Michelle just got me straight away! She's found me some incredible pieces that I absolutely adore, things I probably never would have discovered myself. She has such a great eye and always seems to know exactly what will work for me. And the best part is, she never tries to change my style, she just makes it even better!”

I’ve spent most of my life looking at peole. Really looking at them.
For over 30 years, I photographed celebrities for international magazines, and my job was to notice everything. Finding the most flattering light. Studying someone’s face, their shape and proportions. Looking for that moment of ease in their demeanour and building on it. Coaching hair and makeup artists to get the look just right. And, always, making sure the Styling was perfect.
The Basis for every great and practical wardrobe…
FIT, FABRIC, FORM AND FEEL
Great style begins with understanding what works for you. The right fit flatters your proportions, beautiful fabrics make even the simplest pieces feel special, and the right shapes bring everything together. But perhaps most importantly, it's about how you feel in your clothes. Comfortable, confident and completely yourself. When these four elements come together, getting dressed becomes a pleasure rather than a daily challenge.
Effortless pieces, timeless style
