Who is behind La Mimi?

Submitted by Mimi on Thursday, 4 March 201018 Comments

I get asked quite frequently personal questions by La Mimi readers wanting to know more about me, what I do for a living and whether writing for La Mimi is my full time career. So, I decided to dedicate a short post to tell you a little bit more about myself A.K.A the person behind La Mimi.

Why did you start La Mimi?

I’ve founded the La Mimi blog about two years ago, as an attempt to gather all my fashion and beauty research, knowledge and inspirations in one place and share it with like minded people. It’s not my full time career, however writing and researching material for the articles I regularly post on La Mimi helps me with my career as I always have to stay updated with not only current fashion trends shown off by the greatest designers but also getting inspired by countless number of truly talented fashion bloggers.

What do you do for a living?

I’m a part-time fashion stylist, as well as full-time personal stylist in Toronto, Canada. That means I work with personal clients one-on-one, styling them for special events or for every day life. As a fashion stylist, I work with companies and provide wardrobe styling services on shoots for print ads, commercials, as well as fashion shoots for various companies and publications. Some of the companies I’ve worked with in the past include TD Canada Trust, Harlequin Publishing, The Biz Media and Ontario Tourism. I love what I do because it allows me to constantly travel, meet new people and be around clothes all day.

Who are your personal clients?

Well…I can’t tell you specifically who they are due to privacy issues, but if you are curious to know what kind of people hire a personal stylist then I can definitely share. Most of my clients are high-profile individuals who are very successful in many aspects of their life. They all come from different career fields, some are executives, business owners, others are actors or just social housewives.

There are a few things though that all my clients have in common and that’s the need to always project an impeccable image, as well as try to save as much time as possible. How do I help them? I go personal shopping with or for my clients and their family. Style my clients for special occasions and red carpet events, and help them pack for regular business trips, as well as vacations. I am passionate about people and clothes, so my career allows me to combine both of my passions. I’m extremely grateful to be doing something that I truly enjoy and it hardly ever feels like work for me, because my clients become my friends and I genuine love helping them. And that is the best part!

If you’d like to find out more about what I do, feel free to visit my website personal stylist website- La Mimi.

I hope that answered all your burning questions. Feel free to ask me anything else you would like to know.
