We conduct style workshops on trends, refining personal style, workplace chic, and more. We partner with boutiques, local designers, larger retailers and other partners. We also with individuals who would like to host an event in their homes. Our workshops bring attendees a fun and educational style experience at a convenient time and location.

Consider hosting a ‘How to Dress in the Workplace‘ talk with a professional wardrobe consultant from the DC Style Factory team. We provide a fun, interactive and informative presentation that will have attendees walking away with a modern perspective on wardrobe and style. We can present at a weekly staff meeting with examples of do’s and don’ts in the workplace, what’s current, what’s classic, and how to accessorize. Other options are a hosted staff happy hour, or a presentation at team-building events or retreats to showcase work-appropriate looks with style.

We will take you and your closest girlfriends shopping! This can be a tour of our favorite local boutiques, shopping at a mall, or downtown. We will help each attendee create outfits that are suited for her lifestyle and body type. This service makes a great gift for bridesmaids’ events, a birthday, anniversary, or any other milestone celebration.

Chief Stylist Rosana Vollmerhausen  trains personal stylists in the making through several training programs with topics like starting your own business, building knowledge about body type and silhouettes, and identifying/marketing to target clients.  As an expert stylist and business owner, Rosana shares the tricks of the trade so others can get started as personal stylists.

Personal styling has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve always thought I had a more than decent grasp on fashion and style. Rosana is a phenomenal teacher and is beyond knowledgable, and answered any question I had. My favorite parts of the training were closet audits and the shopping appointments; I found these to be the most helpful because I could see first-hand how to encourage and advise clients. I would recommend training with Rosana without hesitation. I know I wouldn’t have nearly the amount of clients that I have now, had I not completed the training. It is beyond worth it!

Rosana is wonderful,  informative, and passionate about the work she does. Upon working with Rosana I had very basic knowledge of style techiques and no knowledge of marketing to clients. I found my training very beneficial. I thank DC Style Factory for starting me on way, and I highly recommend them for anyone interested in learning what it takes to become a stylist.
