There are three phases to our initial work: consultation, research, and shopping.


• Consultation

The first step is an in-home consultation.  We work with your existing wardrobe – editing, recombining, and possibly altering what you already own.  Thus, we’ll optimize what you have, identify what you need, and zero in on what you would love.

You may be surprised to find that just by working with your clothes, you’ll have more to wear even before we go shopping. We will inevitably decide to retire some pieces. Our goal is to have everything in your closet accessible, wearable, and workable in the context of your current wardrobe.  Wouldn’t that be a relief?

During this process, we’ll also discuss your hair, makeup, eyeglasses, and accessories.  Our mission is to help you discover your true self and express that through the best possible visual presentation considering your desires, needs, lifestyle, and budget.


• RESEARCH

Armed with an understanding of the unique you, I move on to the research phase.  I develop a strategy and then comb my network of resources – specialty stores, boutiques, and designer studios - to locate and assemble the additions to your wardrobe that we have discussed.


• SHOPPING

On our first shopping trip together, I’ll most likely take you into a store dressing room filled with pieces I’ve selected for you.  These things will tell your story. They will add up to a mini wardrobe. We will make sure that the size, silhouette, proportion, scale, color palette, and texture of your clothes are ideal. You’ll look like you, only better. Your positive features will be accentuated.  What you like least will be camouflaged and forgotten.

When we’ve made our final selections, the fitter (or tailor for men) will come, and we will address every alteration detail.  You’ll be amazed what a difference this will make.

Sound like a fantasy?  This is shopping with AB.  In a day, we can accomplish life-changing results.  Imagine the time and aggravation this will save you.
