Our brand video is here! Learn more about DC Style Factory and how we work with our clients.

It’s our first 2016 day of clients, photoshoots, meetings and more! Before we jump into all the great things waiting for us this year, it’s time to do a quick roundup of the highlights of 2015. I have been posting some of my very favorite moments of the last year on Instagram (@dcstylefactory) so I […]

On Tuesday, September 29th I had the pleasure of attending Washingtonian Magazine’s Style Setters Event. I also had an even greater pleasure of styling my friend and  Events Manager Jessi Taff for this event. A few weeks before the event, we met at Bloomingdales and  picked a gorgeous brocade Aqua dress. We paired with some killer  Pour […]

  This Spring, Summer and Fall,  I had the pleasure of working with one of the sweetest, warmest and  nicest clients.  When I met “Amy,” she had just moved back to the states from living abroad with her family — mainly in Europe. She was unsure how to translate some pieces she had purchased in Europe to […]

Last Wednesday, DC Style Factory partnered with PopNod  and hosted a fall fashion event to benefit DC’s  Urban Alliance. The stylish soiree took place on the rooftop of Embassy Row Hotel DC - with a breathtaking view and sunset over Dupont Circle. The evening’s good vibes centered around the mission of the Urban Alliance — to mentor […]

I love styling, but I also love being a small business owner. Regularly connecting with other women businesses owners in the area is one of the things what keeps DC Style Factory fresh, new and moving forward. Recently, I had coffee with Uyen Tang — owner of Style Cable. Style Cable is an online shopping destination […]

      A month ago, our team had the pleasure of styling a 13-page  spread for the September issue of Northern Virginia Magazine. Our daily work life is rooted in one-on-one client work — real people, real-life style. It was so much fun to step outside the norm and work on an editorial shoot […]

I get selfies from clients all the time. It’s one of the most fun parts of my job — seeing in real time the clients I have bonded with happy and excited about how they look. If you have worked with me, you know there are some tried-and-true Rosana-isms that get the style ball rolling. For example, you’re […]

Sometimes my job throws me curveballs. I started working with a new client this summer — a 40-something “desperate Washingtonian real-size woman.” We did an initial consult on her closet and then booked a shopping trip. She was “cusp size,” which means a straight size 14 or 16 is often snug (along her bustline mainly), […]

If you look at my books, you’ll see that next to style and fashion tomes, I have interior design books.  I always marvel at how interior designers work with color, texture, space, etc. to create not just livable spaces, but spaces that inspire us. I asked my good friend Nicole Lanteri, also one of my  favorite local […]
