Fashion has a way of transforming lives, and for one personal stylist, Danielle Klein, the journey began with a bold move from the East Coast to Los Angeles. After attending the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM), her dedication to learning and growth set her on a path to success in the industry. She eagerly sought internships, gaining valuable experience at Burberry and as an assistant to renowned designer Florence Azria.
Upon graduating, she landed a position at Saks as the youngest personal shopper in The 5th Ave Club. Starting from scratch with zero clients and strict guidelines against taking customers from the floor, she relied solely on friends and referrals to build her business. Over the next decade, she flourished in both Beverly Hills and San Francisco, honing her skills and establishing a reputation as a sought-after stylist.
Her journey took a new turn when Neiman Marcus recruited her to shift her services from in-store to digital. For the past four years, she has focused on building her digital brand, connecting with incredible clients, and inspiring them to look and feel their best. “I truly love what I do,” she shares, “and hope that I inspire people to embrace their unique styles.”
Fall Trends to Watch
As the seasons change, so do the trends, and this fall is no exception.
“I’m seeing a lot of suede everything, large shoulder bags, and rich burgundy and plum colors”
The return of leopard print and the prominence of structured blazers with cinched waists reflect a focus on shape and layering, making it an exciting time for fashion enthusiasts.
Among the current trends, she has a particular fondness for burgundy, sheer pieces, and intricate lace designs. However, she admits there’s one trend she’s not keen on: “I wouldn’t say I dislike capri pants, but I just don’t think I can pull them off.”
Winter Predictions
Looking ahead to winter, she has her eye on a few hot-ticket items that are sure to make a statement.
“A great suede bag, tall black and brown heeled boots, and a stylish leather coat or oversized jacket are must-haves for the season“
With her keen eye for style and deep passion for fashion, this personal stylist continues to inspire her clients, helping them navigate trends and discover their personal flair. As she moves forward in her career, she remains committed to empowering others to look and feel their best, one outfit at a time.
