2026 Participant Biographies

Hi! My name is Lindsey. If you saw my shoe collection you’d understand – FASHION IS MY PASSION! A passion that led me to a life in the luxury fashion industry where I quickly became an invested student – learning how to cobble my own shoes, make garments my own and dress the top 1% to impress. While attending New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), only after years of working in the industry, did I learn to truly understand and respect the nuances of skin tone and the spectrum of colors that goes with it. I became more intrigued with image consulting than fashion creation. I have had the joy of styling men and women and the privilege of working with the transgender community; styling people of all shapes and sizes from all walks of life. I’ve gained an enormous amount of knowledge while working for companies like Jeffrey NYC, Saks and was a senior stylist for MM LaFleur, in Washington, DC. The affirming and positive impact I’ve had on my clients has given me the inspiration to know that I can help shape your entire wardrobe and help you find your personal style.
