'I feel it is so important to build trust with the women who shop with me. I truly love dressing women and the part I play in helping them conquer their world every day.'
STEVIE
'Fashion is so much more than clothes. It's an emotional and physical transformation and being a part of this process makes my day. I love connecting with customers to help them express themselves in the most positive and supportive way.'
'Fashion and getting dressed is about fun and pushing boundaries...mainly our own. I love seeing our beautiful customers blossom as their wardrobe evolves and their self-confidence with dressing grows. It is truly special to play a part in that journey.'
'For me, clothes are theatrical and a form of escapism. I draw on art, film and music to inspire me and in turn, the women I dress. Celebrating women as individuals is key to making them feel fabulous in their clothes.'

CLAIRE
'I feel so lucky to connect with real
women on a daily basis. It's truly a joy and a privilege to play a part in making another person look - and more importantly feel great. Clothes are so much more than something material - they are a tool for us to express who we are to the world.'
'23ALBERT is a destination like no other. It is a nurturing environment for women to find their self-expression, confidence and explore the world of creative dressing. Dressing women is so personal and I am honoured that the special 23ALBERT clients allow me into their world to add a little sparkle to their day and wardrobe.'
