Personal Stylist Packages and the Rise of The Capsule with Jessica Ryan

In this episode, I’m chatting with Jessica Ryan who is a Multi-Award Winning Personal Stylist about personal stylist packages centered around capsule collections and how she has successfully launched these to hew niche clients.

About Personal Stylist, Jessica Ryan

Based in Victoria, Jessica has built her successful business styling the ideal capsule wardrobe and bringing this styling solution to regional clients.

Out of all the personal stylist packages, it’s the concept of the ‘capsule’ that captured Jessica’s interest.

During Jessica’s 10 years in the retail industry, she developed a curiosity for women’s shopping behaviour. This extended to the concept of how to make the perfect ‘capsule wardrobe’ instead of buying new clothing every week.

Jessica decided to experiment with the capsule wardrobe and lived with a 40 piece wardrobe for 3 years!

As a result, Jessica was able to refine the perfect balance between fashion obsession and mindful shopping.
