Glamour Shot Whitney at age 12.
Born and raised in Columbia, SC, she held aspirations to a career in the fashion industry as early as she can remember. Strongly encouraged to express herself creatively and confidently, she began learning her stylish craft from her mother. Through discovery of old photos and watching her mother dress in elegant attire, a deep admiration and appreciation of style and wardrobe construction was fostered within her.
As early as 1997, she began exploring her visual voice and other talents mastering runway, print, commercial and mannequin modeling, dance and chorus. Traveled and competed often and winning multiple titles locally and regionally. She later taught classes to young girls and boys during high school. Creating art with her hands and body is what she loved to do.

For Whitney, it's never been about labels head to toe. She loves a good "high & low" wardrobe combo and a master at hunting the runway look for less. Making sure all her clients feel like themselves in her vision is the reward. Whether she's helping clients build a strong closet, searching for new designers, or rebranding commercial style, Whitney is always on the move.
She is focusing on being a positive influence for other young women by showing that great style has everything to do with personal acceptance and celebration and nothing to do with a specific price point.
