Hi, I’m Christina.
For 20 years, I helped apparel brands define and perfect their style identity through fit. I know better than most how important fit is to style and how important style is to identity - both to a brand and to an individual.
Becoming a mother gave me firsthand experience with the sudden changes life can bring: a different body, a different schedule, and a new sense of self, plus a wardrobe that didn’t reflected any of that. I created The Style Rite to help women who find themselves in that same disconnected place with their clothing that I did. I created it because I needed it myself.
I'm a mother to two boys, an avid reader and a lifelong admirer of fashion, based in San Francisco. I work in-person across the SF Bay Area and anywhere virtually with women whose relationship with their clothing has changed as a result of changes to their bodies, lifestyles, and identities. I'd love to help you use your clothes to feel like yourself again.
“My work with Christina has already paid off in the way of time and ease getting dressed. The incredible value of having a go-to look book of options (many in my own closet) felt like a clear directive on how to shop and improve my style long term. We played with adding irreverence and juxtaposition to my outfits and I feel like that has already impacted my day to day process of getting ready. The intake form alone was enough to get me reflecting on my relationship to clothes, my body and how I present myself. I realize these things are critical to how I feel about myself in general. . .and when I feel good, I look good! I didn’t think I had the time to “indulge” in a service like this but taking some time out of my work day to think about myself under these terms was a relief. I highly recommend Christina and the work she is doing.” —Lizzy M. (38) | The Style Session
The Approach
Having spent more than 7,000 hours in apparel fittings before becoming a stylist, I ground my practice at The Style Rite in fit. I believe in order to feel aligned with your clothing, they need to fit your whole self - the physical, the environmental, and the emotional.
The Physical
The space you take up. Style focused on fit, not size.
The Environmental
The spaces you frequent. Style that supports your climate and lifestyle.
The Emotional
How you feel in your space. Style focused on self expression, not outside expectations.
