DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, STYLE ISN’T A SUPERPOWER YOU’RE BORN WITH
Though landing on the right outfit might seem like magic, it’s actually the result of methods and frameworks (more fun than it sounds, I promise!)
Understanding the formula unlocks something different for everyone, so each person can look – and therefore feel – like their most authentic selves.
IT’S THAT TRANSFORMATIVE ELEMENT THAT I ALWAYS LOVED, EVEN AS A GIRL
Because my obsession with style started young, somewhere between Clueless and my Mum’s old copies of Vogue. Aged 11, as soon as I found out that stylist was a career, I knew: that was it. That was what I wanted to be!
And while a 15 year career in editorial fashion & fashion PR was endlessly exciting, something still felt like it was missing. Everyday I was surrounded with stunning pieces and bringing jaw-dropping visuals to life, but I didn’t feel like I was having any long-lasting impact on the women in my life, who got dressed everyday for work and life!
So when I pivoted to personal styling at the beginning of 2023, everything fell into place for me, and I realised I was exactly where I was meant to be and where my passion and talent lay.
I’m a personal stylist for women on the rise
I’ve helped over 80 iconic business owners find the language to transform their style, so that they can show the world who they really are.
When people talk about business strategy, they don’t often include style. But I believe, if you are building a personal brand, STYLE SHOULD BE PART OF THE STRATEGY.
Style is so powerful as it impacts how you are perceived, how you hold yourself, and even how you believe in yourself.
Let me guess if you are reading this - you’re building your empire, running a household and probably raising tiny humans - now you need a wardrobe that supports you doing that, whilst carving out your own identity among it.
Your style should reflect your lifestyle. Whether you’re having new headshots taken, hosting an event, tackling admin at your desk, or walking the dog before your next Zoom call (because let’s be honest, some days include all of that and more), you shouldn’t feel like you’re in costume—or dressed in someone else’s idea of “business attire” or what’s considered cool.
Instead of following rigid colour rules, outdated ideas of flattery, or the belief that “dressing for success” means wearing a black blazer, we’ll decode what you want your clothes to communicate and what makes you feel comfortable—while creating a wardrobe that feels signature to you, and elevated by me.

i believe know for a fact that:
There is a science to style
Great style doesn’t require an overflowing wardrobe or keeping up-to-date with every trend
Shopping isn’t always the solution, but restyling often is
That fashion is both incredibly important, and people take it too seriously
Getting dressed can and should be fun
and, of course, that leopard print is a neutral

LILY WOMBLE
Founder and CEO of Date Brazen
“I LOVED working with Sophia. At every step of the process, I felt heard, seen, held, and inspired. I felt so safe knowing that my looks were taken care of and that my outfits would be incredible. The shoot day was so easeful after putting together all my looks with Sophia.
And the whole process made me feel like a star! I was able to show up even more as the main character on the shoot day knowing that every piece of clothing and accessory detail was taken care of.”

“One of the most valuable takeaways I've got from it has been really understanding the rules—not the rules that fashion or trends tell you about, but my own rules of what makes an outfit feel like me and what makes an outfit feel elevated.Sophia's styling education has made such a difference not just in my business and how I show up at events and everything else, but also across the whole of my life”

MICHELLE ONG
Social Media Content Strategist
“Before this I was just following trends without really thinking about whether they suited me. If something looked nice, I’d buy it. I wasn’t thinking about longevity or if a piece really fit into my personal style - honestly, I wasn’t even sure I had a personal style haha!
Such a valuable investment in yourself! What you wear impacts how you feel and carry yourself each day, and working with Sophia brings long-term benefits around that. You’re doing the work now to make life so much easier down the road.”

ALICE BENHAM
Business Strategist
“Before working with Sophia, I felt disconnected from my style— primarily due to a lack of confidence.From working with Sophia, all of that has just completely changed—I feel like I have a wardrobe that really reflects who I want to be, but also who I am now, and it still feels very comfortable and very me”

RACHEL WARING
Sales and Launch Strategist
“Having Sophia on the team for my rebrand shoot was the best decision ever! I knew wearing my favourite outfits “that I felt good in” wouldn’t cut it.Sophia considered things I would have never thought about, yet made a massive difference final imagery. On the day, I felt so much more confident in front of the camera, knowing my clothes were doing the very best for me. 100/10 would recommend.”

JASMINE HAITALANI
Creative Director
“I absolutely loved how the process was. I loved the lookbook SO MUCH and I refer to it constantly when I shop or style myself now. I feel like all my creative ideas and all my aesthetics were customized to something that is so me and I’ve been trying to accomplish that for ages.
Now I feel like I actually have a personal style!! Before I think I would try to recreate looks or shop for what’s popular but not too trendy but I didn’t feel like I had MY thing.”
