FASHION HISTORY
What makes Claudia an expert and a guru, is not only her ability to help clients with their personal style and wardrobe, it is her appreciation and knowledge of fashion history. For example, in order to truly be a fashion expert, one must know why a client needs a little black dress and where the concept and design of such a fashion essential originated. Throughout history we see fashion repeat itself and manifest itself across decades. Continuing on to this very day and likely into the future, classics of fashion, design, and wardrobe remain – original, refined, and timeless.
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas. But what makes it new is the way you put it together. – Carolina Herrera

Building a proper wardrobe is like building a home. Indeed, you should think of it like a home, because it is something you are going to live in. It must be comfortable and suit all your needs. – Edith Head
