  Personal Stylist & Shopper

  After studying A Levels in English Literature, Theatre and Psychology Natalie Robinson decided to undergo a BA honours degree in Social Policy and Politics. During this period, Natalie took her first tentative foray into fashion by organising a number of well received clothes shows and events. The ensuing success established Natalie’s innate artistic flair and illustrated her gift for visual creativity and styling innovation. In turn, this brief phase instigated her long term passion for fashion and determined her future as a personal stylist. After leaving university, she immediately started working in Harrods, Knightsbridge for a couple of years as a brand specialist for Donna Karan and other top international designers. This position involved consulting and advising a large number of clientele including high profile names on key trends, whilst helping them shop for their specific lifestyle needs. Having evolved into an accomplished fashion expert, the next natural step was to work as a fashion consultant for Browns clothing boutique in South Molton Street. This prestigious family owned business provided Natalie with an intimate yet cutting edge environment to work in. It was commonplace for Natalie to deal with A-list celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, Lionel Ritchie and Sophie Dahl. This wealth of experience proved to be invaluable for Natalie’s business acumen. Natalie then went on to become a personal shopper at Selfridges. Now Natalie works very closely with celebrity clients overseeing their look for red carpet events and stage appearances.“Look Demure & Classy while feeling Bold, Beautiful & Daring” says Natalie.Website: www.style-icon.co.uk Show less
