In March, The Washingtonian featured one of my long-time clients, Renata Briggman, and the style uniform I created for her. The article, and the accompanying style tips, went viral. Since then, I have fielded countless requests from new and existing clients who want the same ease, simplicity, and style we developed for Renata’s everyday look. […]

I had so much fun putting together this video. It reminded me how far we have come as stylists, as a team and as a company. We are serious about what we do and many of our processes are that of a larger company  — but always with the detail and individual care of a […]

I didn’t plan to write this blog post. After 10 years of working on closets, shopping with clients, and styling men and women, I have seen how sales can lead to waste, disorganization, and even stress. They also lead to unrealistic expectations about the true cost of clothing. I had a number of people contact me […]

Last week, DC Style Factory was thrilled to partner once again with one of our favorite local boutiques, Lynn Louisa, for a spring/summer style workshop.

Our team always looks forward to the Met Gala. Between naked dresses (Beyoncé, 2015), deconstructed kilts (Sarah Jessica Parker, 2006), and twisted bunny ears (Madonna, 2009).

Professionally, it’s been a banner year.  DC Style Factory has been featured in both local and national news outlets. We have […]

DC consistently gets a bad rap for its style — or lack thereof. During an interview for a Slate Magazine podcast, I defended our fair city. We do have style — even in government offices. But let’s get real; we live and work in a government town.  We are not a city of models and […]

It’s almost that time of year - twinkle lights, the sound of a crackling fire, the smell of freshly baked goodies wafting through the air - and a dozen holiday parties that all beg the question, “What should I wear”? To help ease your wardrobe anxiety DC Style Factory is hosting a holiday style workshop to arm […]

We host at least one workshop per season and we were thrilled to work with a new retail partner this time around. Attendees enjoyed an intimate evening of sips, treats and the latest in fall style […]
