TESTIMONIALS
"Phyllis is an excellent personal stylist to work with! I reached out to her a couple of weeks ago seeking to refresh my wardrobe for an expected move to NYC. She and I clicked right away on quality leather jackets and selvedge denim jeans. She picked up on the style(s) I was going for very quickly, and assembled a great set of stores to visit. My time was very well spent and we had great luck finding various pieces that elevate my current wardrobe. I absolutely LOVE the pieces she helped to select for me and would love to work with her again to select more Fall and Winter items. Phyllis is extremely personable, relatable, and a great listener." - Chris Dix, Software Engineer, NYC
"Phyllis is the OG New York stylist you need to know ! I live in Paris, and I work with Phyllis virtually on Zoom every 6 months. She helps me edit my wardrobe - decide which clothes I’m no longer wearing, and what I need to shop for to create total outfits. Then she shops for me online, and sends me links to suggested items to buy. She has introduced me to new brands and designers, and it’s always a great experience to work with her." - Corinne Dolle, Art Curator, Paris
"I absolutely loved working with Phyllis! She has an incredible eye and a calm, intuitive way of zeroing in on what truly suits you... not just what’s trendy. I came to her wanting to refresh my wardrobe in a way that felt elevated, age-appropriate, and still very me. Everything she suggested is now making getting dressed actually feel enjoyable again. Phyllis doesn’t just style clothes...she styles confidence. I’ll definitely be working with her again!" - Karen Salmansohn, Author, NYC
"Since I switched careers fashion and lifestyle public relations, I needed to update my wardrobe to reflect the change. I was introduced to Phyllis through mutual colleagues, and even though I work in fashion, it was so helpful to have an impartial eye to shop for new fall clothes. I needed a few key pieces to update my wardrobe, and Phyllis was incredibly knowledgable on designers that fit my style and taste. I’m so glad we finally got to work together!" - Randi Packard, Fashion Publicist, NYC
"I can’t wait to work with Phyllis again! She really understood what I was trying to achieve-an update to my wardrobe that is age appropriate and not trendy, yet fresh and current. By adding a few core classic pieces as well as some basic accessories Phyllis elevated my look from simply casual to casually sophisticated! I will definitely work with Phyllis the next time I’m in New York." - Andrea Greenstein, Stay at Home Mom, Los Angeles
"Working w/ Phyllis was a great experience! She helped me orient myself to shopping in nyc and showed me different styles, designers and pieces that were available both around me and online. She arrived ready and was knowledgeable and I really appreciated how time-aware she was, making every minute of working together count. Highly recommend!" - Sua Morales, AI Software Engineer, NYC
"If you are looking for a stylist who is both talented and supportive, I highly recommend Phylis! Her personal styling session was fun and gave me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. She has an incredible eye for fashion and introduced looks that I wouldn't have considered on my own. I walked away feeling more confident and inspired thanks to Phyllis.” - Janelle Curtis, Music Manager, Brisbane Australia
"As a regular Dude working in Finance, I was hesitant to hire Phyllis because I felt my ignorance in the fashion world would clearly be apparent. I was correct about my ignorance but totally wrong about being hesistant. I wish I had hired Phyllis sooner. Our meeting, discussions and shopping experience far exceeded my expectations. Phyllis knows her craft and has incredible knowledge. Any feeling of unease I had was quickly dispelled by the understanding and patience she showed. Phyllis' guidance and feedback were exceptional. Phyllis even gave pointers on hair style and jewelry. I still get compliments and positive comments about some of the ideas that I incorporated into my style.” - Anthony Spillane, Finance Manager, NYC
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Phyllis to develop a work wardrobe, and I couldn't be more satisfied. From the start, she was incredibly kind, efficient, and demonstrated a deep understanding of both fashion and people. She has a remarkable ability to read my reactions, even subtle ones, and gently guided me away from pieces that I thought were okay but didn't truly love. Her intuition and expertise ensured that every item we selected was not just suitable but something I genuinely felt great wearing. What made the experience even better was how she collaborated with a wonderful staff member at Bloomingdales (Shout out to Judy!). Together, they scoured the store to find pieces that perfectly aligned with my goals and budget. The teamwork between us felt seamless, and I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Phyllis also went above and beyond by helping me get a jacket tailored—a piece I adored from a previous shopping session. I highly recommend Phyllis to anyone looking for a personal stylist." - Selena Lilly, Legal Development, NYC
Working with Phyllis was a dream! I’ve always had a problem choosing clothes for myself, and I wanted to find a style that fit my personality. At first I was nervous to work with a stylist, I was afraid a stylist would push me into wearing clothes that didn’t quite feel like me. But Phyllis put my mind at ease right away. She’s incredibly intuitive and understands that there’s a psychological aspect to the clothes we wear, and clothing needs to reflect our individual personalities. She made sure I was comfortable and confident in all of the clothing she chose. She also taught me never to buy clothing that I like…I have to LOVE it! She showed me that’s how I could build a wardrobe that will last forever. I highly recommend working with Phyllis! - Victoria Stass, Designer, NYC
“Through education and her extensive knowledge, Phyllis gave me the confidence and understanding I needed to express myself outwardly in New York City. Working with Phyllis is an amazing privilege, whether you're looking for a wardrobe refresh, or to show the world who you are!” - Drew C., CEO Food Industry, NYC
"I hate shopping, but desperately needed some new clothes. Phyllis promised to make the experience as painless as possible - and she did! She came to my home to review my closet and get a feel for my style (simple and classic). Together we made a list of the types of items I wanted to buy. Then she pre-shopped the store for me - all I needed to do was show up, and the styles and colors we discussed were waiting for me in a fitting room with lots of different options. All I needed to do was show up and try the items on. Phyllis is a gem and I plan to have a refresh session with her in 6 months."
- Michele Faro, Set Designer, NYC
"After spending most of my career in the music business, I went to work in the world of corporate advertising. I needed a new wardrobe of suits for client meetings. Phyllis understood that I didn't want to look "corporate", that I needed suits that would be true to my personal style. She stressed the idea of investing in classic suits that would last for years, but with a modern fit. And she helped me find shirts, ties and shoes that maintained my creative edge. Working with Phyllis was a fantastic experience!"
- Frank Gargiulo, Creative Director, NYC
"As an art dealer and curator in NYC, I do business with high powered wealthy clients who spend a lot of money to purchase art. I need a professional wardrobe of power suiting, while still maintaining a creative edge. Phyllis understood this perfectly. Will definitely be working with her again!"
- Ivy Brown, Art Dealer, NYC
"Phyllis is a longterm colleague - she helped put me in touch with the best indie showrooms in order to find my wedding dress! When I was ready to relocate from New York to Dallas I had a giant closet full of black, blacker and blackest clothing. After a phone conversation, we hit the shops to develop a more Southern-ready wardrobe that still reflected my edgy style. If you need to find anything unusual, rare or cool, she knows exactly where to dig it up!"
- Kendall Morgan, Journalist, Dallas
"I've never been a traditional 'suit' guy. But my wife wanted a traditional wedding, so I needed to dress the part. Phyllis suggested instead of buying a tuxedo, I should invest in a high quality classic black suit that I could wear again and again. She explained her theory on investment dressing - buy the best quality possible, in a classic silhouette that doesn't go out of style - and you will look great and save money in the long run. We had 2 fittings with a tailor, he was so good that the suit looked like it was custom made for me. She helped me choose black tie accessories so I looked exactly right for the big day. I felt so great on my wedding day, and am so grateful to Phyllis for making it happen!"
- Stephen Wallis, CEO Home Furnishings, NYC
"I'm in the entertainment business and need a variety of clothing options from black tie galas to dive bar music nights. My closet was overflowing with clothes I never wear, but I didn't know where to start! Phyllis came to my apartment and made it easy. First we separated all the clothes I love and wear that I would definitely keep. Then we went through all the clothes I haven't worn in years and she helped me understand why I don't wear them - either they were out of style, no longer fit properly, or looked worn out. She identified my bad shopping habits - LOL - and how I tend to buy the same things over and over again, and we made a wish list of items I need to round out my wardrobe. We also did fittings with items I love but needed to be tailored, for instance I had an ankle length coat I haven't worn in years, and she explained it was because the length wasn't practical for my lifestyle - so she took me to a tailor and had it shortened - now I wear it all the time! Phyllis also helped me choose where to donate my discarded items, and showed me which designer items have resale value, and provided me with names of consignment stores. I can't wait for my next closet edit with Phyllis in the spring! Book a session with Phyllis and discover clothing options in your very own closet you didn't know you had!"
