I help apparel startups navigate the apparel industry to get their line launched on time, within budget. I have 20 years' experience in developing and sourcing fabrics, trims, & garments, creating & maintaining testing protocols like CPSIA, RSL, and apparel performance testing, and I use that knowledge to help my clients save money on materials while launching their clothing line. The industry doesn't always make it easy, but my clients walk away from our call with extreme clarity around their apparel production calendar, sourcing options, their supply chains, and the product costing they'll need to see a profit. Apparel entrepreneurs can waste thousands of dollars and months of precious time due to poor decisions based on a lack of apparel industry knowledge, and I really hate it when that happens. I help my clients save thousands on material costs, shave weeks off their production calendars, and help them avoid costly incorrect material shipments from their suppliers. I help entrepreneurs understand not only the basics of apparel creation, but I also share detailed knowledge on how to get products launched in this industry as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. Have questions about apparel? Book a call today!

I design custom clothing for women that enhances their unique body type, I provide Image and Wardrobe consultations and teach women how to build a wardrobe, and I host a monthly Frump 2 Fabulous event that teaches women all about their body type, hair styles that flatter their face shape and so much more. Plus I also speak professionally on teaching women how important their appearance and clothing is, to their immediate success in the workplace. For decades I have been designing clothing for women because my objective is to help women of all ages and dress sizes look their best - regardless of their age or dress size. Because Looking Good is all about Line, Proportion and Balance! You just need the tools and then you are on your way to greatness.

Want to pick my fashion stylist brain? Have branding questions? I’ve packed 3 decades of fashion stylist prowess into my robust style mentoring course www.cest-chic.me and on www.FocusOnStyle.com. Clarity is great place to get my professional & concise answers to your personal & specific style questions. My free guide to chic is a great place to start for general style tips: http://www.focusonstyle.com/passport-to-french-chic/ Style Mentor / Fashion Expert / Website Founder / Stylist / Online Course Creator / Style Editor / Fashion Advice Columnist I’m the fashion mentor to grown-up women, just as they are, to refine their chic + ageless style so that they can confidently pull their look together every day with ease! You may know me as a style entrepreneur and founder of FocusOnStyle.com, where I share my fashion stylist tips to everyone online since 1999. As the creator of the C'est Chic Crash Course, I help women think like a stylist and rule their own personal chic with my step-by-step style mentoring system based on my three decades in the style industry. As a leading New York fashion stylist my work ran the gambit from styling Vogue covers with major jewels and couture clothes to making polyester sweats look great in ads so that you would actually want to wear them. Somewhere in between, I also styled catalogs and ads for top department stores, big name brands, magazine editorials, and the de rigeur celebrity and supermodel. I got into styling because I felt a boost in my self-confidence when I dressed well and wanted to share that with other women rather than the fantasy that I was creating on the set... ... because my heart is with the everyday woman, like you and me. So I brought my behind the scenes insider tips and tricks to women everywhere with my Focus on Style fashion advice column on the Scripps Howard News Service that was distributed to 400 newspapers each week. The print column in combination with my B.B.A. degree in Marketing and entrepreneurial spirit lead the way for bootstrapping FocusOnStyle.com, now in its 16th year online, as your online style guide to can-do chic.... way before the job description "fashion blogger" was ever coined. All this has brought me a wealth of opportunities including starring in my own national Macy's TV commercial (it was a stadium sized green screen studio and Zoe Saldana was in the same campaign series). I've been featured in an anthology lifestyle book alongside other writers like President Jimmy Carter and Gloria Steinem. As a fashion and style expert, I have been featured in probably hundreds of television, radio, print, and online media outlets such as Real Simple, CNN.com, Martha Stewart Radio, Oprah.com, ELLE magazine, WeightWatchers.com, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, WebMD, Disney Family.com... the list goes on from the first time I was a guest on The Joe Franklin Show, back in the day talking about old Hollywood glamour. I guess it's fair to say... I have a well-versed background. So, if you want to talk about how to boost your style to make the most of what you've got by mastering your personal C.H.I.C.™ that brings to light your unique and polished style which suits your personality, values, and body so you can stop feeling overwhelmed and underrated, and shine, well then, I'm your go-to style expert!
