The Practice

Three ways to work together.

No. 1 · The Starting Point

The Closet Edit

One engagement

A full working session in your closet. What stays, what goes, and what's missing. You leave with a wardrobe that works as a system instead of a pile.

  • In-closet audit and edit
  • Gap list with a sourcing plan
  • Looks built from what you own
  • Tailoring and alterations direction

By proposal · NYC, LA and virtual

No. 3 · The Standing Line

Full private client service. Jessica is on call for everything you appear in: board meetings, galas, press, travel. Retainer clients come first.

  • Everything in The Season
  • On-call styling, first priority
  • Red carpet and press appearances
  • Family styling available

By invitation and proposal

The Approach

Built around your life.

i.

The Consult

A conversation about your calendar, your work, and how you want to show up. Jessica has spent twenty years reading people in fittings. It goes quickly.

ii.

The Edit

She works through what you own, then sources what's missing from showrooms and retailers most people never see. Everything gets fitted, tailored, and finished.

iii.

On Call

From there, getting dressed is handled. A text before an event, a rack before a trip, a full look before the photographers arrive.

About Jessica

Twenty years dressing people the whole world is looking at.

Jessica began her styling career in Los Angeles in 2006, dressing Reese Witherspoon, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, and Madonna for red carpets, campaigns, and editorials in Vogue, Vanity Fair, W, and The New York Times Magazine.

She has styled five cast members of Parasite for the Oscars, along with Viola Davis, Gal Gadot, and Aaron Paul, and campaigns for Revlon with Emma Stone and CoverGirl with Taylor Swift. Her commercial clients include Disney, Nike, NARS, and Neiman Marcus.

Since 2012 she has run a bicoastal private practice. The roster stays small on purpose. Every client gets the same treatment as the ones with publicists.

“I stopped thinking about clothes entirely. That was the point, and she made it look effortless.”

Questions

What clients ask first.

What does a private client stylist actually do?

She edits what you already own, sources what's missing, handles tailoring and returns, and builds looks for your real calendar — so getting dressed is decided before you need it.

Can you help me redo my closet from scratch?

Yes. The Closet Edit is a full working session in your closet: what stays, what goes, what's missing, plus a sourcing plan and tailoring direction. Most clients start there.

Do you work with clients who aren't celebrities?

Most of the private roster are executives, founders, and professionals. Every client gets the same treatment as the ones with publicists.

Which cities do you style in?

New York and Los Angeles in person, and virtually for clients elsewhere. The practice has been bicoastal since 2012.

How much does personal styling cost?

Engagements are quoted by proposal after a consult, since scope varies from a single closet edit to an ongoing retainer. Tell Jessica what you need and she'll price it.

How do we begin?

Send an inquiry with a little about yourself and what's prompting the search. If it's a fit, Jessica reaches out within two business days to set up a consult.
