Personal Style Consultant and Image Makeovers Auckland New Zealand.

Raewyn offers a range of services to enable you to develop your own style and signature. In working from a design, dressmaking and alteration background, Raewyn goes beyond the role of stylist and image consultant. She understands how a garment can be made to fit your body shape and style, enhancing the way you look and feel - just as you are.

In the natural seasons of a woman’s life, her body will change shape, size and proportion. A Style Essence consultation recognises this and is not driven by fashion trends - it is about accepting who you are now, and creating your own fashion style to suit your body and personality.

Raewyn pins as she works, and will leave you with written instructions for the dressmaker so you can start immediately. You will feel so much more confident when your clothes fit you correctly and align with your personal style.

"Working with a client is all about confidence, authenticity,
playfulness and fun. Whenever I take a client into a fabric shop,
I see something inside her light up as she is drawn to colours,
textures and designs that reflect who she is."

- Raewyn Christiansen

Raewyn Christiansen brings to Style Essence a wealth of training and experience in dressmaking, fashion and business. She has a thorough grounding in garment construction, design and pattern making. As a mother and experienced businesswoman, she knows the demands on women in today’s busy, pressured world - and the importance of women taking care to not only retain, but express their individual essence.

Raewyn is passionate about using her skills to help others make the most of their qualities. She works intuitively, responding to the shifts in clients as they uncover the hidden elements of themselves. When aligned with what a person wears, these inner qualities will show in their outward appearance. While the focus is always on the garments, often personal growth and healing are part of the outcome for Raewyn’s clients.
