Paris - New York - Beverly Hills and now:

Shopping and Closet Intervention

"So what is our
style here in Santa Fe? We are definitely
relaxed, but sophisticated, too. And
interestingly enough, when I look at the
fashions they [Neiman's] ascribe to their
different style groups, I can spot them all
right here in The City Different, whether it’s
at the Opera, a café, or just strolling in the
Plaza." |
What could be more
luxurious, and easy than having your own personal
shopper, and not just any shopper but someone who has
consulted for celebrities, worked with Armani, and
assisted to dress those we admire? Here we are
admiring these success-dressers from afar, thinking,
oh that woman has such lovely taste and looks
sensational, when what is really going on behind the
scenes, back stage, or in a dressing room at Saks, is
the hard work of someone like Michele Oppenheimer.
Little did we know, it is the taste of consultants like
her that we should really be admiring.
Arriving from Paris, Oppenheimer worked her fashion
magic in Beverly Hills for twenty-five years, including
five years at Giorgio Armani and ten years at Saks Fifth
Avenue as a personal shopper. And in doing so,
Oppenheimer has touched the lives of many clients -
Academy Award winners - Studio Executives - High Powered
Professionals and Government Officials,
Fashionistas and Socialites.
Oppenheimer works closely with her clients to enhance
and expand their personal style. Her sense of fashion,
and her innate ability to understand her clients’
lifestyle and needs, enable her to create looks that are
at once age appropriate and fashion forward.
Her taste, talent and sophisticated vision allow her
client’s true self and unique beauty to emerge. Now in
Santa Fe, New Mexico, Oppenheimer offers personal
shopping services worldwide. These services
include:
Image consultation, wardrobe makeover, personal shopping
and closet intervention.
During an image consultation, Oppenheimer will meet with
you in your environment, discuss your specific needs and
lifestyle. Then together you will review your current
wardrobe, and she will explain how you can put together
clothes that you already have to create new outfits, and
pieces that you will need to be able to project the
image that you really want. She will advise you about
colors and silhouettes that would best flatter you and
make you feel beautiful and confident.
Should you decide on a complete wardrobe makeover,
it will include a style and image consultation, after
which it is time to update and edit your wardrobe.
First, together you will remove the clothes that do not
fit, or are out of style. Then she will assist you to
put together outfits from what you already have and
assess what is missing to create a wardrobe that will
meet all of your needs, and this includes her
personal shopping services. It is a head to toe
transformation!
And as for that personal shopping, it is based on your
needs. Oppenheimer will do the necessary research
visiting the appropriate stores and searching online.
After she has selected various possibilities, you will
go shopping together and find the perfect
age-appropriate, polished and stylish wardrobe, whether
casual or professional. Or if you prefer, she will
gather items and bring them to you to try on in the
comfort and privacy of your home or office. Sounds
like a shopper's dream!
Closet intervention may be for you if as are most women,
you are horrified when you go into your closet. Says
Oppenheimer, "Although they have tons of clothes, they
feel like they don’t have anything to wear. What they
see gives them that “what was I thinking?” feeling.
Everything seems too trendy or too dowdy, age
inappropriate, and nothing goes together."
First she will organize what you already have. There are
pieces there that will work, and she can find them. Then
together you will determine what you need. This is
different than an image consultation in that she will
physically go through the closet to remove what doesn’t
work, put together what will and make a list of what is
necessary to refresh and update your wardrobe. Who
could want for more!
The truth is out, we're on to it now and we too can look
as beautiful right here in the Southwest as the
celebrities do, while as Oppenheimer says, remaining
true to our style. To learn more about Michele
