San Diego Fashion Stylists Top 5

Introducing Best Fashion Stylists of San Diego

Famous fashion designers often turn their thoughts on style into a well-known fashion quote everyone will be talking about. One such quote is "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak", by celebrity fashion designer Rachel Zoe, which is simple, yet a very true definition of a style. Along with the designers, professionals who are equally passionate about fashion and styling are the Fashion Stylists. There is a whole list of tasks that a fashion stylist may perform, but generally, they select items to appear in the media, select clothing for a client and usually provide advice on the overall look. San Diego’s fashion scene is continuingly developing and growing, elevating from a beach style to a more fashion conscience style. Meet the best fashion stylists of San Diego:

Jennifer Rosson

Focusing on connecting with a client, putting importance on "clicking" well, and providing a professional, yet fun experience for her clients, Jennifer Rosson has been a Wardrobe and Personal Stylist for over 10 years. She works with men, women, and even teenagers- usually a gift from mothers wanting their daughters to go shopping with a fashion expert who will provide an objective opinion on what really looks good on them. The fashion services that Jennifer is providing includes a Closet Audit, Personal Shopper, Virtual Closet for those who don’t have time to go shopping, and Online Styling Services available via FaceTime.

"Style in San Diego is very casual, completely different from other cities, and it’s very fun to style people here. While they’re relaxed and laid-back, people of San Diego are ready to express themselves," described Jennifer.

Jaquelyn Wahidi

"After helping a few friends transform their closets and wardrobes, I decided to turn my wardrobe skills into a personal styling business", Jaquelyn remembers her first footsteps in the fashion field. Her most popular styling service is the Total Style Transformation package which is spread out over 2 to 3 appointments, but if needed, it can be compressed in a single day. The package includes a closet edit, personal shopping, and outfit creation. After the outfit creation, Jaquelyn prepares a personal digital lookbook with the complete looks and sends it over to her clients, which allows them to pull the pictures up on their phones each time they may need an outfit idea. Jaquelyn explains San Diego’s vibe as casual glam where people still want to be comfortable and casual, but want to look great too.

Mahjuba Levine

Mahjuba has been in the fashion industry for 18 years, transitioning from being a personal shopper in the retail world to working on her own, and becoming one of the best fashion stylists of San Diego and Los Angeles. Closet Therapy Session, Color Analysis, and Man of Style are Mahjuba’s expert services that can be a great gift idea for your spouse, friend, or a just-because gift to yourself. "With fashion, you have to stay current and visible. People want to see your style," Mahjuba summarized.

Vanessa Valiente

She started her career with styling television shows and commercials, then expanding to editorials and catalogues, while focusing on personal styling and V-style, her fashion blog, took Vanessa to the top of her field of work. What makes Vanessa different from other stylists is her thorough consultation which is complimentary, her efficient service, and before each shopping appointment, she arrives an hour earlier to pull all the items her client will try on in the store. Super busy and usually booked 1 to 3 months in advance, Vanessa doesn’t grow her client base using social media at all. "I have been the number one stylist for so long, standing out is not a problem. When someone is looking to work with me, transparency is key. I have a FAQ page on my website to make sure I am the right stylist for them," says Vanessa. What she loves about San Diegan’s is that everyone can wear whatever they want, and no one will judge you – if you want to be casual, you can be casual, and if you want to be dressy, go for it.

Rita Hibdon

Styling friends and family ever since she could remember, led Rita to her passion becoming a profession, where a great personal network of referrals have been the core of her business. Rita is inspired by the places she has traveled to, and where her clients’ lives take her. Accentuating that everyone has a unique life makes Rita feel like every look she creates is a custom look for her client. Among her various styling services, Remix Wardrobe, Vacation Packing, and Seasonal Edit are services where Rita’s expertise truly shines. "I want my clients to understand why I chose that particular item for them, and how and where they can wear it," explains Rita.
