What is style to you?

I think style is a form of expression, we are showing people who we are on the inside through the way we presently ourselves outwardly. I love that quote by Rachel Zoe, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” That’s why I think it’s so important that we stray true to ourselves, and wear what we feel comfortable in and whats suits us and bring out the best in us, without being swayed by all the ever-changing trends and mixed messages we are receiving from the fashion world.

How would you describe your style in one word?

Classic.

What is your one fashion motto you keep in mind when styling?

3. BEULAH/ Silver Painted Lady

This is so hollywood – its simple, yet the slit up the leg and the colour makes it elegant and bold

4. GORGEOUS COUTURE/ Evita Maxi Dress 

What’s not to love, the colour, the shape, the lace detail. This is simply stunning, and perfect for a summer time event.

They will answering a few of our fashion Q&As as well as  picking their 6 favourite items from Girl Meets Dress…We hope you enjoy!

Today we’re picking the mind of  Natalie Robinson. Natalie is a fashion consultant and  founder of Style Icon, She  has collaborated on projects with big names such as  London Fashion Weekend and the Clothes Show Live to name a few.  Natalie also teaches an ‘Introduction to Personal Styling’ course at the Fashion Retail Academy in Central London and has been sponsored by British Airways to be a keynote speaker at their Office*exhibition. Natalie’s 15 years of experience, countless celebrity connections and solid work ethic have propelled her career into the success it is today.

Natalie answered a few of our questions:

– How would you describe your style?
Classic with a contemporary twist! I love mixing classic and vintage pieces! I like to play with style as opposed to follow trends! I am an interpreter of fashion!

– What are your fashion loves, and your hates?
Fashion loves – hats, and other accessories like broaches, necklaces, funky gloves and I love faux fur which ‘glams up’ an outfit. I hate trying too hard with fashion i.e. dressing head to toe in the same designer or wearing a piece just because it’s the latest trend. I have to love the designer but most importantly the fit of a particular piece and how it compliments the rest of what I am wearing.

– What’s the most loved item in your wardrobe?
My Biba Hat. I always receive compliments when I wear it!

– What advice would you have for anyone wanting to get into styling?
Love what you do!! Pay particular attention to detail! I run a 3 day styling course at The Fashion Retail Academy in Central London! You need a sense of individual style to appreciate how to style others!

– Where do you get your inspiration from?
Watching old movies, music videos and street style as I often pay attention to how other people dress which gives me more ideas for styling.

– Name one item no stylist should be without?
Needle & Thread. You always need to make minor alterations!!

– What is your favourite SS14 trend?
Would have to be tartan in the form of accessories! Also, loving the phantom Celine bag in more summery colours!!

Here are some of Natalie’s picks from GirlMeetsDress.com

Ariella Scarlet Gown –

This black dress is stunningly beautiful and ideal for a special occasion.

It’s important to have a classic staple piece as you never know when that special occasion will occur.

Ariella Gisele Gown

  I love this dress! It’s quite spectacular. As a celebrity stylist gold looks great on the red carpet!

Ciara wore a beautiful gold dress at this year’s Grammy Awards.

Marc Jacobs Rainbow Paillette

This dress is fun, and quite retro! Ideal for a party!

Keep accessories simple with this dress as it speaks for itself!

McQ Tartan Print Dress

 Tartan is a big trend this season!! You’d definitely look the part in this dress. It’s quite fitted so ideal for a boyish shape. Compliment it with a cool black leather jacket. A great everyday dress. You can dress it up or down!

Clover Canyon Royal Horse

A great dress. Reminds me of old Alexander Mcqueen designs or Mary Katranzou!!

A fun, directional piece! Love the colours, and a great slender fit!!

Continuing with our new blog series of Stylists having their say on the GMD blog, today we’re picking the mind of Kalee Hewlett. Kalee is a fashion and celebrity stylist and has worked in the industry for many years. Throughout this time she has worked on feature films; television; commercials; pop promos and now sits herself firmly within the fashion and presenting arena. Kalee’s talents have led her into styling for a range of international fashion titles and personal styling for a number of prominent TV personalities.

She answered a few of our questions:

How would you describe your style?

Eclectic and diverse. My style can very much depend on my mood and what I’m doing that day. I love prints and interesting pieces, I love to rummage through vintage shops to find original one off pieces. Generally my style is very much boho meets rock.

What’s your fashion loves and hates?

Fashion loves – anything with embellishment and sequins and I’m partial to a good hat!

Hates – is there really anything to hate about fashion? Each to their own. Fashion is fun!

 What advice would you have for anyone wanting to get into styling?

Make sure it’s what you really want to do because you will have to throw everything into it. You need to be driven, self disciplined, determined and most of all believe in yourself. If you have all of these ingredients and you’re really hungry for it, get as much experience as you possibly can in the industry, network at every given opportunity and stay true to yourself.

 Where do you get your inspiration from?

Everywhere and everything. Creation is all around us. Street style has become a huge influence now. I travel a lot which really feeds my inspiration.

Name one item no stylist should live without?

An A4 diary to assist with organising that busy schedule of yours!

 What is your favourite SS14 trend?

Lace – so happy to see the return of lace again this season. So intricate, beautiful delicate and feminine.
