About.
If you have a closet full of clothes but absolutely nothing to wear, you aren't failing—you just need a stylist. Welcome to Styled by Clairissa. Let’s be honest: society looks before it listens. For women, there is an unspoken "performance tax"—the exhausting reality of having to look the part just to be given the floor. At Styled by Clairissa, I believe your wardrobe should be your greatest strategic asset, not a source of mental friction. I specialize in removing the visual noise for high-achievers, ensuring that when you walk into a room, your style reinforces your brilliance instead of distracting from it.
I’m a stickler for the details because I believe your money should work as hard as you do. I don't just look at the silhouette; I look at the labels. I’m the first to tell you when a designer brand doesn’t cut it or when a "luxury" price tag is actually just paying for the logo instead of the silk. While I’ll always hunt for the best value, I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I focus on fiber content, construction, and longevity—ensuring every piece is a meaningful investment, not just a temporary fix.
My mission is to handle the image so you can continue the work of running your empire. While I focus on this strategic alignment for professionals, my vision is for anyone ready to stop "winging it." Whether I’m styling a commercial, a bride’s big day, or a client navigating a life transition, the approach is a "white-glove" experience that merges your personal taste with a sophisticated, quality-first edge.
From comprehensive closet management and personal shopping to total image direction, I’m here to help you decode the dress code and step into every room with effortless authority. Stop arguing with your closet and start dressing like the main event. Life is far too short to dress boring (or in bad fabric).
Meet Clairissa
My obsession with style isn’t about vanity—it’s about art.
I grew up watching my mother, an attorney, fight her way through a male-dominated legal field. I saw firsthand how much energy she had to spend on her presence just to be heard. Later, I navigated my own "trial by fire" in industries like luxury jewelry and bridal—spaces that are often as intimidating as they are traditional. I learned early on that for a woman to be taken seriously, her image has to be bulletproof.
I’ve spent my life immersed in the industry—from modeling and assisting runway designers to luxury consulting—but it was the years spent styling the women in my own life that sparked my mission. I saw brilliant, capable women lose their confidence because of a "closet full of nothing."
My approach is technical, but my goal is personal. I’ve honed my expertise in silhouettes, color theory, and quality construction so that you don't have to. We aren't changing who you are; we are amplifying it. My job is to ensure your taste remains the priority while your style becomes an effortless expression of your authority. I’m here to be your fashion ally, making sure you look striking, feel empowered, and—above all—never have to settle for a "creepy old man’s" idea of what a professional woman should look like.
“The Fact that when you look at the clothes you realize they are all [created] by human hands... You see the incredible facets of it all... so many different techniques, so many different artisans, so many different people to work on it.”
