When I first started working with Rachel, her closet was filled with clothes that she hadn’t picked out for herself and didn’t love. She told me she hates shopping because of how it makes her feel about herself. She said she will just buy and wear whatever she’s told looks good on her so she doesn’t have to think about it. I understood how she felt. So much of the fashion industry is designed only for a handful of straight sizes and personalities. Its intention is largely to manipulate you into buying whatever you’re told. But I’m here to change that. So I said to Rachel: that’s not how it’s going to work here. I told her she’s only allowed to keep things she truly loves and chooses for herself. I’m here to source and curate, to channel her personal style and taste and lifestyle needs and preferences through my expert, holistic lens, but not to tell her what to wear. So when she wears Late Bloomers, she’d better not tell anyone she’s only wearing it because her stylist told her to! Now, Rachel does love most of what I source for her, and she’s open to gently pushing the bounds of her comfort zone to experiment, but I make certain she loves whatever she keeps – and if after a while she finds she doesn’t love it, I’ll take it back. Late Bloomers is about making YOU feel like YOU and it’s my greatest joy to help you find it.
