Dressing the Client in Transition
In Indianapolis Women’s Styling, It is not unusual at all to meet with a potential client who tells me this: “I am in transition. I am a few pounds heavier than I would like to be.” Many people just naturally put on weight as they get older, and the pandemic has only made this a […]

Want to Work with an Indianapolis Men’s Stylist?

With Image Consultants: It’s All About the Details.
