I was given a great chance recently to interview and AMAZING stylist, honestly she is soo cool I freaking love her!! Her name is Fawn Cheng and I can't wait for you to meet her....
What has been your favorite
part about becoming a personal stylist to so many incredible and important
people?? Can you share a favorite moment??
My favorite part
about being a personal stylist is that I get to help my clients feel more
beautiful, confident and fulfilled by guiding them in a direction that
highlights their best attributes. Too often, because of the changing trends,
people shop for what’s popular instead of what best fits their body. It is my
job to highlight what is uniquely beautiful in each of my clients; empire or
drop wastes don't work on everyone, but I am there to give honest feedback and
find their perfect fit, head to toe.
What is the best part about trying to dress someone “in
their personality” so to speak?? Are there many challenges when it comes to
your clients?
I don't expect
everyone to feel comfortable in everything I choose for them; however, based on
their personality and what they feel most comfortable in, I can customize a
wardrobe that meets their comfort level as well as elevate their style. Some
clients don't mind showing a little leg and others prefer not to; it is
important to keep in mind that you can achieve a comfortable look without
wearing sweats. The biggest challenge is helping my clients overcome
insecurities and allow them to feel confident in their choices and style.
What is your philosophy on beauty and how do you manage to
show that through your work??
My philosophy on
fashion and style stems from my absolute love for highlighting that which is
wonderfully special about each client. There is no better feeling than finding
and accentuating my client’s traits and seeing their reaction. I don't pressure
anyone to wear something they are not comfortable with; I do engage in an open
and honest dialog to educate them about their body and how to put their best
foot forward.
What are some of the things you can bring to someone’s
“table,” in the professional sense, as a personal stylist??
The way you portray
yourself is crucial, especially in the professional world. When you convey a
strong professional image, you also give employees and customers the confidence
that they can rely on you, and your brand, for help in choosing the products
that are right for them. When wanting to change your professional image, you
have to first look at your personal image. What morals and values are you
portraying to the outside world?
If you were going to be born in any fashion era, which
era would that be and why??
I would love to
have been born in the late 50's so I could be in my early twenties in the '70s.
The fashion and figure flattering styles of this era show how feminine and
confident women can be. The good thing about fashion now, is that you can pull
different looks and feels from each generation and blend them into a modern
look with a twist.
