THE STOP OF THE SEASONAL DETOX. A NEW APPROACH TO A PERFECT WARDROBE


While we stay in our homes during the social distancing, we have time to do a wardrobe clear out and throw clothes away, and do the famous “Wardrobe Detox”.

Have you ever wondered though: Why is a wardrobe “toxic” that it needs a seasonal detox?


Having done myself a fair share of my own wardrobe detox over the years, I had my wakeup call when studying fashion. I kind of knew that my clothes ended up either in the charity shop, or in the bin (AKA landfill).

However, nowadays, since resources and processes are limited to carry out the activities of recycling, a new approach has come up: zero waste, or in other words, avoid bringing things home that will become waste in one form or another.

Our wardrobes are no different. In the workshops I give, I hear the same issues from attendees:


· I have accumulated far too much clothes over the years

· I still don’t know what to wear in the morning when I open my wardrobe

· I am confused, what is my style? I keep buying stuff but I still can’t seem to find it

· I am terrified of going shopping, I don’t know what to buy

· I don’t know how to do a wardrobe detox, what do I throw? What do I keep?

· I buy compulsively.

· I would love for my clothes to feel like”me” and bring out my true self

· I only buy basics, as I don’t know any better, is safe.

· I don’t like going shopping or I don’t have the time

· My wardrobe feels messy, with random pieces with different styles

· I have barely got clothes; I don’t know what to buy.


As a trained fashion buyer for the high street, I can tell you something, the high street has very thorough strategies before creating a beautiful collection for a shop, and yet we buy randomly and compulsively?


A buyer has a budget to create a collection, yet we buy clothes we can’t afford?


A buyer knows you very well, to figure out what clothes you like and produce them for you, yet we don’t know our style?


No wonder your wardrobe is “toxic” every season.


I realised this situation is unfair, so I have adapted the strategies that a high street buyer would apply to create a beautiful clothing collection for the shops, but instead, to create a wardrobe collection personalised to a client, so we all play with the same rules and strategies.


Some of my clients start the process following one of my workshops by themselves, and for others, I have created a full Wardrobe from scratch. How? you may ask. I start by creating a comprehensive “map” that will guide you on when you buy clothes with the aim to have a timeless wardrobe. This includes an inspiration board with your style, a colour palette, advice on fabrics and the best shops for you and a piece by piece edited wardrobe. All this process will show you exactly what to buy with a display of different outfit combinations.


A clear wardrobe is a clear head in the morning, a wardrobe that feels like you, a wardrobe you love every piece in it. A wardrobe that is not toxic and so that will not need a “seasonal detox” ever again avoiding thus, waste.

Let me cure your wardrobe, while you have a breakthrough, and It will never get toxic again.

EL TERMINO DE LA LIMPIEZA DE ARMARIO

UN NUEVO ENFOQUE PARA CONSEGUIR UN ARMARIO PERFECTO

Cada temporada parece que hacemos la famosa "Limpieza de armario". Especialmente ahora que estamos todos en casa. Sin embargo, alguna vez te has preguntado: ¿por qué un armario es "tóxico" para que necesitemos limpiarlo cada temporada?


Habiendo hecho una buena parte de mis limpiezas de armario a lo largo de los años, mi llamada de atención fue cuando estudiaba moda. Como que sabía que mi ropa terminaba en la tienda de caridad o en mi basurero (que en realidad se iba a un vertedero). Sin embargo, ya que hoy en día, dado que los recursos y los procesos son limitados para llevar a cabo las actividades de reciclaje, ha surgido un nuevo enfoque: cero desperdicio, o en otras palabras, evite llevar cosas a casa que se convertirán en desperdicio de una forma u otra.

Nuestros armarios no son diferentes. En los talleres que doy, escucho los mismos problemas de los asistentes:


  • He acumulado demasiada ropa a lo largo de los años.

  • Todavía no se que ponerme por la mañana cuando abro el armario.

  • Me aterra ir de compras, no sé qué comprar.

  • No sé cómo hacer una desintoxicación de vestuario, ¿qué tiro? ¿Qué me quedo?

  • Compro de forma compulsiva.

  • Me encantaría que al llevar mi ropa resaltara mi verdadera personalidad.

  • Sólo compro prendas básicas, ya que no sé nada mejor, es seguro.

  • No me gusta ir de compras o no tengo tiempo.

  • Mi armario  parece estar siempre desordenado, con piezas aleatorias con diferentes estilos.

  • Apenas tengo ropa; No sé que comprar.

Después de mis estudios,  te puedo asegurar algo, las tiendas de las grandes cadenas, tienen estrategias muy definidas antes de crear una hermosa colección para una tienda, ¿y sin embargo, nosotros compramos al azar y de forma compulsiva?

Un creador de colecciones, tiene un presupuesto para crear una colección, ¿pero nosotros compramos ropa que no podemos permitirnos? Un creador de colecciones nos estudia y nos conoce muy bien, para descubrir qué ropa nos gusta y producirla para nosotros, Sin embargo ¿ nosotros mismos no conocemos nuestro estilo?

No es de extrañar que nuestro armario este "tóxico" cada temporada. Aprendí que esta situación es injusta, por lo que he adaptado las estrategias que un creador de colecciones de las grandes cadenas aplicaría para crear una colección de ropa , pero en su lugar, para crear una colección de vestuario personalizada para un cliente, para que todos juguemos con las mismas reglas y estrategias.

Algunos de mis clientes comienzan el proceso siguiendo uno de mis talleres por sí mismos, y para otros, he creado un armario completo desde cero. ¿Cómo? Te puedes preguntar. Comienzo creando un "mapa" completo que lo guiará cuando compre ropa con el objetivo de tener un armario que no pasa de moda. Esto incluye un tablero de inspiración con su estilo, una paleta de colores, consejos sobre telas y las mejores tiendas para el cliente, y finalmente, un armario editado pieza por pieza. Todo este proceso le mostrará exactamente qué comprar con una muestra de diferentes combinaciones de conjuntos.

Un armario transparente es una cabeza despejada por la mañana, un armario con el que te identificas, un armario que amas cada pieza que contiene. Un armario que no sea tóxico y que no necesite una "desintoxicación cada estación" nunca más, evitando así, el desperdicio.

Déjame curar tu armario, mientras tu encuentras por fin tu estilo, y nunca volverá a ser tóxico.

  • Do I need to be actively involved in the process once I purchase the Style Breakthrough service?
    Yes. This service is designed for individuals who are truly ready to commit to discovering their authentic style and breaking free from impulsive, unfulfilling purchases. We work with clients who are at a stage in their lives where they want a more intentional and sustainable approach to their wardrobe. By trusting the process and fully engaging in it, you’ll achieve lasting results—a style that feels effortless, cohesive, and truly you.
  • Will I have to get rid of all my clothes?
    Not at all! The goal is to work with what you already have and refine your wardrobe, not to start from scratch. We’ll assess what truly aligns with your style, what can be repurposed, and what might not be serving you anymore. The process is about intention—curating a wardrobe that supports your style, not just replacing everything for the sake of it.
  • Will the Style Breakthrough service change me into someone I’m not?
    Absolutely not! This service isn’t about forcing you into a specific style or making you dress in a way that doesn’t feel like you. Instead, it’s about uncovering and refining the style that already aligns with who you are at this stage of your life. Think of it as a process of self-discovery—one that empowers you to feel more confident, authentic, and in control of your wardrobe. You won’t be told what to wear; rather, you’ll gain clarity on what truly resonates with you, so getting dressed feels effortless and right for you. This is about embracing your style, not changing it into something it’s not.
  • Do I need to be passionate about fashion to benefit from the Style Breakthrough service?
    Not at all! The Style Breakthrough is for anyone who wants to feel confident and authentic in what they wear—whether or not they follow fashion trends. However, this service is about more than just clothes; it’s about shifting your mindset around style and shopping. To truly benefit, you need to be open to change. If you’re ready to break free from old shopping habits, stop wasting money on pieces that don’t work, and build a wardrobe that reflects who you are, this process will give you clarity and confidence. But this may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a quick fix without a commitment to real change. Style isn’t about following rules—it’s about redefining your relationship with your wardrobe and embracing a new way of dressing that truly serves you.
  • Is the Style Breakthrough service only for people who feel lost in their style?
    Not at all! While the service is perfect for those who feel disconnected from their wardrobe, it’s also designed for anyone who wants to refine, refresh, or evolve their personal style. Whether you’re going through a life transition, seeking a more cohesive wardrobe, or simply wanting to shop with more confidence and clarity, the Style Breakthrough will help you build a wardrobe that truly represents you. It’s about making style effortless, authentic, and aligned with who you are—wherever you are on your style journey.
  • Why should I book the Style Simplified session instead of jumping straight into a full service?
    The Style Simplified session is a great starting point because it allows you to gain essential insight into your wardrobe and style goals, without committing to a larger service right away. If you’re not sure where to begin or feel overwhelmed by the thought of a full transformation, this session helps break things down into manageable steps. Think of it as a powerful checkpoint that gives you the information you need to move forward with confidence—whether you choose to continue working together or implement the insights on your own. If you’re ready for a shift but need help figuring out where to focus, this session is your ideal first step.
  • What can I expect to gain from the Style Simplified session?
    n this session, you’ll gain clarity on your current wardrobe’s strengths and weaknesses, a deeper understanding of your shopping and style habits, and a personalized action plan for moving forward. You’ll walk away with key takeaways that will help you avoid wasting money on pieces that don’t serve you and begin creating a wardrobe that aligns with your authentic self. It’s a highly informative session, and by the end, you’ll feel empowered to make better shopping decisions and be clear on the direction your wardrobe needs to go to reflect who you truly are.
  • I feel overwhelmed by my closet. Can the Style Simplified session help me with that?
    Yes! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, the Style Simplified session is a great way to gain clarity. This session helps you break down your wardrobe in a calm, guided way so you can understand what’s truly working and what needs to go. We’ll focus on simplifying your approach to style, making the whole process less stressful and more aligned with what actually feels good for you. However, please note that we need to focus on one season at a time. If you have a large wardrobe, we’ll begin by breaking down your favorite pieces, and I’ll provide exercises to help you continue the process on your own. The goal is to create a manageable, actionable plan for your wardrobe that’s tailored to your current needs. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident and in control, with a clearer understanding of how to move forward without feeling bogged down by unnecessary items or decisions. This session is a starting point, not a complete wardrobe overhaul, but you’ll have the tools and insights to carry on organizing and refining your closet with ease.
  • What if I don’t like the style you suggest for me?
    There’s no one-size-fits-all “look” that I impose on clients. This process is collaborative, and everything is built around your personality, preferences, and lifestyle. You’ll be involved every step of the way, ensuring that your final style direction feels natural and authentic to you. My role is to guide, refine, and bring clarity—not to dictate or change who you are.
  • What is a Wardrobe Audit?
    A Wardrobe Audit is a deep assessment of your current wardrobe to ensure it aligns with your personal style, offers versatility, and works cohesively as a whole. This process isn’t about discarding everything you own—it’s about understanding what serves you, what doesn’t, and how to create a more intentional, well-balanced collection of pieces that truly reflect who you are. Using a structured methodology, we evaluate your wardrobe for consistency in style, cohesiveness, variation, and balance—even if those terms don’t mean much to you yet, don’t worry! The process is designed to give you clarity on what works, what’s missing, and how to make getting dressed effortless. By the end of the audit, you’ll gain a clearer sense of direction, ensuring every piece in your wardrobe contributes to a style that feels natural and empowering. If you’re tired of feeling like your closet is full of clothes but nothing quite works together, this is the step that will change that. Check out the Style Simplified one-hour session, which will give you a taste of an Audit today and start building a wardrobe that truly works for you!
  • What is the Style Simplified session, and how can it help me?
    The Style Simplified session is a one-hour, personalized consultation designed to give you clarity about your wardrobe and your style goals. It’s a guided conversation where we explore your purchasing habits, assess what’s currently in your wardrobe, and uncover where you want to take your style next.

  • I’ve tried finding my style before, but nothing sticks. How is this different?
    This isn’t just about picking a few outfits—it’s a deeper process of understanding why you’re drawn to certain styles, what actually works for your life, and how to break free from habits that keep you stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction. It’s about rewiring how you think about your wardrobe so that you no longer second-guess yourself or make impulse purchases that don’t serve you. If you’re ready to commit to that shift, this will be the last time you need to “find your style.”
  • I want to change, but what if I go back to old habits?
    Real transformation happens when you’re truly ready for it. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a shift in how you approach style and shopping. If you’re open to rethinking how you see your wardrobe and willing to step out of your old patterns, you’ll come out of this experience with a completely new mindset. However, if you’re not yet ready to let go of past habits, this may not be the right time for you—and that’s okay! The best results come when you’re fully committed to embracing change.
