STYLE PROFILES
Jean spent much of her career as a marketing executive for major BEAUTY and FASHION brands. She HONED her keen eye, FASHION aesthetic and STYLING skills through years of experience at companies like Donna Karan, MAC, Estee Lauder and Victoria’s Secret.
Her PHILOSOPHY on getting dressed is one of SELECTIVE MINIMALISM. It’s not about buying a lot of new pieces, it’s about buying the RIGHT PIECES to build a wardrobe and a system of getting dressed that fits the unique life you live.
Jean’s STYLE PROFILES help you define your personal style and aesthetic.
CHIC, SOPHISTICATED, TAILORED
Effortless style & a wealth of substance. Classic & modern. Always appropriate. You desire an updated point-of-view and prefer streamlined silhouettes modernized with luxe textiles, sophisticated patterns, rich colors, muted neutrals and fine details.
CLASSIC, SIMPLE, traditional
Red lipstick, Chanel no. 5, Hitchcock thrillers - some things stand the test of time. The pieces in your wardrobe need to do the same. You prefer traditional silhouettes, subtle color palettes, exquisite tailoring with trend-infused details: a metallic ballet flat, a bold cocktail ring, a leopard belt.
casual, comfortable, relaxed
A drive down the PCH, top down. Shopping at the local farmer’s market. A dinner party on the back porch with friends, everyone barefoot. Aspirations of Meryl Streep in it’s complicated, your laid-back demeanor and lifestyle is reflected in your wardrobe: the perfect jean and sneaker, breezy linens, a broken-in suede boot that goes everywhere.
EDGY, eclectic, modern
Why blend in when you can stand out? Individuality and self-expression is important to you and your wardrobe reflects this ethos. Wardrobe pieces with a point-of-view, or a bold silhouette, looks from a new wave designer – these things make you different than every other woman you pass on the street.
BOHEMIAN, FREE-SPIRITED, WHIMSICAL
On the road. Topanga Canyon, Santa Fe, Montecito. A home and wardrobe layered with texture, pattern and color. Shibori, ikat, turquoise and hammered golds, your bohemian look is grown-up, filled with story-telling pieces picked up on your life’s journeys and punctuated with hints of luxury staples.
GLAMOROUs, shiny, embellished
Your wardrobe gives a strong impression. You are drawn to the allure of all that is glamorous: a Harry’s Bellini, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Oscar night, Capote’s Swans. Whether dressing up is for an occasion or an everyday occurrence, your look communicates confidence, an attention-to-detail and an appreciation for aesthetics.
