Anélle Coetzee

Personal Stylist in Paris

Who am I? What do I actually do?

I get asked these questions quite often.   

In my opinion, there are three types of stylist.

First, you get a one day "pretty woman" experience: get your hair styled, make-up done and buy the perfect outfit. Problem: tomorrow morning you wake up and you're the same as before.

Second, you can have your colors assessed (are you an autumn, does yellow wash you out, etc.).  Now, in principle, I do believe certain colors work better against certain skin tones, but that does not mean if you love a color you cannot wear shoes or even underwear in that color! We are all individuals and to be boxed in might work for some, but it is also fun to break the rules sometimes!

Third, there is me. I love working with women. We are all individuals, with different personalities and lifestyles and that something that makes you special.

I get so excited when I can help someone find their "wow factor" and show the world on the outside who she is on the inside! Helping you have a wardrobe where, when you open it in the morning, you feel good. Giving an unlimited choice of actual outfits that you can choose from with eyes closed. Knowing you will look and feel great when you walk out of that door! That's what I do.

Personal stylist who believes in slow style. I love helping women find their own style personality.

Although fast fashion has its place and excitement, I feel very strongly about our responsibility in creating a sustainable world through our lifestyle choices.

I simply listen to people to understand their needs and make those needs happen! When I dress someone it is to make them look their best. It’s not about following a fashion trend. No matter what the season, I will provide you with valuable advice on what works for you and why as well as what doesn’t and why. So next time you go shopping you will be able to avoid making the kind of impulse purchases that end up at the back of the wardrobe.
