"I'm actually using my closet now!! For years, my clothes and everything were a mess until you came to the rescue! Thank you for the Closet Consult. I wasn't just unorganized. I had accumulated a lot of stuff over time that honestly just didn't work anymore while I kept trying to make them work. We went through every article, kept what worked, dumped what didn't work and (genius!) tailored some items I loved but didn't really fit me. Now everything I have in my closet I love and so I actually take care of them and hang them up and, well, just like a grown up. You get it! Like you say, 'It's more than clothing.' I'm thrilled!"
-Clint Griess , Life Coach/TV Personality
"Before my headshot session, I watched Antonia pick out things and put me in clothing combinations that I never would have chosen for myself and yet it was those particular looks that ended up being some of the best photos of the shoot. She takes her work extraordinarily seriously yet manages to create an atmosphere of fun and energetic creativity, which put me completely at ease.
While other 'stylists' are known for being obtrusive and controlling during a photo session, Antonia was immediately present and supportive, always remembering that we were working as a team for the purpose at hand. She was focused not just on my appearance but on how my appearance could best serve the camera to create the overall looks. Her contribution to the success of my headshots was invaluable from start to finish."
-Frank Zagottis, Actor
"After hearing me play live and a brief consultation, Antonia shopped without me being there and it was a huge success. She was right on the money with clothes I wanted for the stage as well as for daily use and got some great bargains too. For example, a jacket she picked out for me, which is part of my San Francisco uniform for everyday wear, gets an extreme amount of compliments. I would have never found that jacket myself. We also went shopping together which was loads of fun and yielded more great clothes. Antonia has boundless verve and brilliance and has a keen attention to details that matter so much in choosing clothes. These details make the difference between wearing something regularly and throwing it to the back of the closet forever. She is a powerful and effective partner in creating me as I choose. Freedom rings with Ms. Russo."

"Before working with Antonia, I gravitated toward wearing mostly dark colors and oversized clothes. It was a 'safe' style of dressing that did not say much at all about me as a person or as a professional. I was also afraid of color for some reason. Antonia helped me to overcome that notion and taught me that I can actually look and feel good wearing clothes that fit me better and colors that I never thought that I could ever pull off. Her Closet Consult helped me to purge all the old unflattering things that were holding me back, and made room for the new items that she helped me select, all of which introduced a bit of pizzazz to my wardrobe!
Thanks Antonia for helping me to expand my horizons. I now get compliments that I never got before I met you, and I now have a style that works perfectly for me... and that feels great!"
- Patrick Lowell, Realtor
"I used to hate walking into the women's departments of stores because those fitted clothes never fit me right, so I began shopping in the men's section. My complaint was they always make women's clothes to accentuate boobs and hips that I don't have, so I'll just wear oversized men's clothes. Then I would get mad when someone would mistake me for a man!
With Antonia by my side we walked into a boutique and she immediately spotted a pair of pants and a blouse and told me to try them on. We headed into the dressing room and the pants and top fit me perfectly. I was amazed! I didn't think it was possible for me to wear women's clothes and feel comfortable in them both physically and emotionally. I have to say this is now my favorite outfit. When I wear it, people tell me these clothes were made for me and I look like a model. Me, really? Cool!
This whole process was quite easy and empowering for me and now I am so glad I did it. A few months after shopping with Antonia my dad died unexpectedly and in the rush to get packed and out the door to catch a flight home, I had that perfect outfit in my closet to take - one less thing to worry about. I delivered the eulogy for my Dad's funeral too, which is a very hard thing by itself - and being in comfortable great looking clothes really helped me access the courage to deliver my eulogy powerfully.
Thank you Antonia. You have made a huge difference for me.
You rock!"

"Antonia has a great sense of style and has helped me take risks with my wardrobe. As a result, I feel much more confident AND hot, inside and out! She's my secret weapon. Shhh!!"
-Heather Lauren Donavon, Recording Artist/Songwriter
"I had always worn whatever I was given as a gift, never giving much thought to style and fashion. I remember a friend saying as they looked in my closet, 'These could be Halloween clothes!' Consequently, I had a closet full of clothes that didn't fit or I could wear to Mardi Gras. Antonia coached me to distinguish how others saw me (with my outdated, ill-fitting wardrobe) and how I wanted to be seen in the world. There was a huge chasm!!
As I thought about it, I had never invested any money in a wardrobe. When I started leading Public Speaking Workshops, both my technique and my image were under great scrutiny. Antonia supported me through my resistance to spend money by helping me choose to invest in myself and my business. We are now working together ongoingly to build a wardrobe that is fit and fashionable. Antonia taught me that when I look good, I feel more confident and have greater credibility. My business is based on that, so with Antonia's expert consulting was invaluable. I couldn't do what I do without her!"
-Ellyson Barnes , Public Speaking Consultant
"Antonia is amazing at what she does - she is truly world class. Her skill level goes way beyond fashion. She really takes the time to get to know what you want to create in your wardrobe and then helps guide you there with fun and ease. Antonia helped me get clear on what worked for me presently and what did not. It was so very FREEING to clean out the old stuff and bring in the new. It was important to me to add vibrant color to my wardrobe and as we went through my closet, I realized I wanted all brown and gray out of my life. I would have never done this on my own. She made it so easy. I highly recommend Antonia's services and talent to anyone."
