ABOUT
“Lisa got me right away and I TRUST her. We’ve been working together for nine years. I’ve discovered clothing and brands previously outside my comfort zone and she’s definitely made me look—and feel—much better.”
My work begins with a single question: who do you want to become? With 35+ years of experience and an authentic love of visual design, I serve as a client's silent partner — uncovering the vision beneath the surface and building a wardrobe strategy that is precise, personal, and lasting. Clothing is neither trivial nor purely aesthetic; it is how the world receives you. Watching that understanding transform a client is the most gratifying part of the work.
My career began as Bruce Springsteen's personal stylist in the early 1990s, eventually moving to the role of Fashion Editor at Air France Madame, a division of French Vogue. After Paris, I contributed to American Vogue, Vanity Fair, Muse Italy, and Interview. Along the way, I styled Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Penélope Cruz, Winona Ryder, Julia Roberts, Zoe Saldana, and Michael C. Hall — alongside executives, authors, activists, and public figures who understood that how you present yourself is never incidental.

TESTIMONIALS
I had a fantastic experience working with Lisa. I came to her as someone who had never really invested in my wardrobe, and who had basically worn athleisure for the past decade (due to WFH jobs, the pandemic, and two pregnancies). I was eager to start a new decade of my life with greater personal style and confidence, and I couldn't have picked a better stylist for this assignment. In our pre-shopping sessions, Lisa listened carefully and asked detailed questions to get a sense of my preferred styles and silhouettes. When I arrived for our shopping day, she'd pulled dozens of pieces that felt, at the same time, very "me" and unique/different -- pieces and outfits I might have overlooked. She did not push her own preferences on me, but instead found ways to identify and elevate my internal sense of style and encouraged me to listen to my gut. I enjoyed our shopping day and also left with a greater understanding of my own preferences and core style. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance in building a wardrobe.
Catherine Vaughan | Political Strategist for Democracy
Lisa is a ray of sunshine and pure delight to work with. She has impeccable taste and a pulse on culture, art, and fashion—but what sets her apart is how deeply she sees you. I came to her wanting style guidance. What I got was confidence. I now feel assured when I shop, when I dress, and—most importantly—when I show up in the world. She taught me that great style isn’t about labels—it’s about expression. And yes, she still holds my hand when I panic over a purchase. I’m so grateful for her guidance—and now, her friendship.
Lacey White | Director, VIP, Influencer & Events
I’ve been apart of the fashion industry for over 25 years. When I engaged Lisa’s services, part of it was because I didn’t have time to edit my closet myself and the other part was curiosity on how someone else would approach my wardrobe. Net-net, I wasn’t expecting much but appreciated the help….man was I in for an incredible outcome! First, Lisa shared expert inside tips on how to organize my closet, how to create vignettes based on style and use as well as how best to store out-of-season items and spotlight clothes that were right for “right now” and three months out. She also made me re-appreciate clothes I bought years ago - what’s old is new again! It was the best money I could have spent bc it also saved me from buying things I didn’t need because I could actually see everything in my closet again! I couldn’t recommend Lisa’s services more!
Melissa Skoog | Founder/owner of Skoog PR, Creative director of cartolina
I love the soul and depth that you have very rightly given your work. You have just the right balance of style and spiritual.
RUTH RUNBERG, FOUNDER | R RUNBERG CURIOSITIES
I’ve always struggled with my personal style, and I’m so glad I invested in myself by working with Lisa this summer. Lisa helped me completely refresh my wardrobe for an upcoming work trip to Cannes, and it was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made for my appearance and overall self-confidence. She taught me styling and fashion, how to pair existing pieces, and what my closet was missing. She worked within my budget, helped me decide what to invest in, and found great options for pieces I could buy for less. I felt absolutely incredible during my trip with the perfect outfit/styling for every occasion. The pieces and accessories we bought together will truly last a lifetime, and I want to work with her for every season! I’ve never felt more confident.
Most importantly, Lisa is an incredibly warm, encouraging, kind, lovely person who became a friend in a few short weeks. She did so much more than help me shop — she gave me my sense of self back after having a baby. Thank you, Lisa. I am eternally grateful for you and your beautiful soul.
Katie Hamilton | Google’s Head of Industry Relations, Americas
The best thing about working with Lisa is that she cares as much about inner beauty as outer beauty. She is an experienced fashion market strategist with style and substance in equal measure. Lisa’s powerful energy and talent will impact your style and help you achieve your life’s goals.
Mo Mullen, Managing Director 10X CEO
Lisa is not only super knowledgeable and intuitive in how she approaches her clients, but she’s also an incredible communicator with the best energy. She was a stylist at Vogue, but that doesn’t mean her consulting experience is limited to prominent luxury designers. She has incredible ideas, and once she gets to know you and understands what looks great on you, her resources are broad and deep. Each time she’s come over to help me focus my closet, it feels like a vacation. It feels
so liberating and cleansing. She’s very gifted at what she does — I highly recommend her!
CHRIS BOALS, FOUNDER | CHRIS BOALS ARTISTS
Lisa is a styling genius. I went from struggling to get dressed every morning, to having several on-hand “looks” in my closet to quickly put together. She has a wealth of fashion knowledge, and is clearly up on all the trends, but she is the opposite of a “one size fits all” stylist. She helped me cultivate a a wardrobe that reflects my personality and lifestyle. Now getting dressed in the morning is actually fun!
MEGHAN PARDI | FINANCIAL SERVICES
Lisa filtered out the usual noise to move forward confidently. I shed years of excess, rediscovering the hidden gems in my closet that made me feel like me — but better. Her advice was so simple yet so profound, and it was a lightbulb moment for me. It confused me for a while, and she made it so clear. A profound moment of clarity—thank you!
RUNNAN TINA ZHONG | PRODUCT DESIGNER
This entire process is vitally important, transformative, and sustainable. I felt each outdated story leave me -- a deeply cathartic experience that has improved the way I live. I have more ease to my days with less excess, and a beautifully focused collection to begin the next chapter of my life.
GEMMA GAMBEE LEWIS | meditation TEACHER, fine ARTIST
I first met Lisa when I was about to have my photo taken for an organization portrait. (In fact, her lovely husband, Ivan from Vogue, recommended the photographer.) She came into my closet and pulled my clothes together into an outfit I'd never have thought to wear. I loved it, and that gave me confidence for the shoot. I've worked with her on big events since, as well as seasonally, to refresh my wardrobe. Her insights are wise, and very personal to me. I've never worked with another stylist, but would think it's essential that the stylist understands the client's personality, and Lisa does that to a T. Plus she has great style herself, and is very, very nice. I'm fortunate to know her!
CATIE MARRON, philanthropist | NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY President
Lisa made overhauling my wardrobe fun and changed the way I think about style. She introduced me to amazing, previously unknown brands, getting me out of my head and teaching me how to approach fashion with awareness and creativity. And she nailed it - from the early stages of finding inspiration, right up until now. I love that I can always reach out to her for a quick pick me up.
SUSAN DUFFY, BUSINESS GROWTH STRATEGIST | SUSAN DUFFY & CO.
Lisa Von Weise is a style genius, a true professional and a spirited artist. I have worked with her on numerous occasions for everything from packing for a trip to Australia to shopping for formal events. She tailors her experience and expertise to suit your needs. The most wonderful thing about Lisa is she helps you fall in love with your body, your wardrobe and your style.
ELIZABETH NEUSE FLINT | AUTHOR, Yogi, Personal development coach
I'm impressed with Lisa's advisory talent. We have seen a lot of stylists in action, both with and without their clients, and she is the best I have experienced. Brava.
CATHERINE COLLINS, Designer | I PEZZI DIpInTI CASHMERE
I must thank you for being an awesome friend, I am truly appreciative of you and the kindness extended, your healing powers, and your JOY for fashion and creativity.
ELLEN CAREY, Fashion expert | seed inc.
Lisa, your service helped not only my closet but also my mind! My husband remarked that I am more assertive with increased “executive functioning”, which I know has to do with my confidence in what I am wearing and being seen when socializing. Sounds silly, but it’s true! I admire your commitment not only to being an outstanding stylist but also to making sure we feel good on the inside. You are a rare find, excellent and kind, and you bring great energy, which I genuinely appreciate.
Lailani Arcia, Financial Analyst
Lisa was truly exceptional to work with. She brings a rare combination of warmth, insight, and deep expertise. Her knowledge of fashion is extensive, but what sets her apart is how thoughtfully she applies it. She considered my inspiration images, existing wardrobe, body type, lifestyle, and practical factors like seasonality, comfort, and quality.
Working with Lisa didn’t just improve my closet; it shifted how I think about getting dressed. I came away with clarity, confidence, and a wardrobe that finally feels aligned with who I am. The transformation, both in my closet and my mindset, was exactly what I had hoped for.SANDRA SOUTHWELL | NEW YORKER
Working with Lisa is indeed a master class in personal styling. I picked up some great pieces during our shopping experience, but more importantly I learned to properly shop for my style, my personality, and my body type. She helped me understand what pieces should be my basics and what should be the statement. What’s shoes work with what. Absolute no’s on a petit frame. She worked with who I am, my preferences, and didn’t push me to dress in a way that didn’t feel like an expression of me. I am grateful for the education. I come out of the experience better in touch with myself stylistically and more confident. Needless to say, I highly recommend working with Lisa!
JESSICA LEUNG | AI CONSULTANT
Working with Lisa has transformed me! When we first met, I had not gone shopping in almost a decade. I was starting a high profile on-camera job and I needed a great capsule wardrobe. Instead of forcing me to adapt to her style, Lisa has guided me to make intuitive choices as I build my wardrobe. First we met for a closet personal trainer (which was deeply cathartic), then we met for a personal styling session. I now have a classic, curated on-air wardrobe—I feel like a million bucks whenever I walk out of the house (I also get a ton of compliments at work)! I’ve never felt judged by Lisa, only gently guided to a more sophisticated, age-appropriate style. Lisa is also extremely generous in her post session follow-ups and engagement. I’m also getting more attention from men now that I’m not wearing leggings and sweats daily. I never realized how powerfully clothes can shape confidence and presence, until I finally started dressing the part. Lisa’s decades of experience in fashion—particularly her time at Vogue—are evident. I highly recommend her.
ASHLEY MASTROnardi | NYSE ON CAMERA REPORTER
Lisa lifted me out of a decades old rut of basically buying the same “safe” wardrobe, whether or not it was actually working with my particular body type and skin tone. I learned a lot from this true artist and styling guru in a very short time! She taught me how to look at the colors and patterns and basic proportions that actually enhance my overall look. And she curated so many great interchangeable pieces for me that I finally feel I have plethora of choices in my closet! It was a wonderful and enlightening experience with a super fun and brilliant stylist!
SUSAN WHITMAN| NATURAL VITALITY CALM FOUNDER
It was a genuine pleasure working with Lisa. Her approach to styling goes well beyond upgrading a wardrobe or filling gaps in a closet. She takes the time to understand your day-to-day and what you reach for most so that new pieces make sense for how you actually live. She brings a sharp, practical eye to the styling process, is extremely communicative, and is committed to finding the best items for you at the best prices. The shopping trip was great—Lisa shared so much helpful advice and made the whole experience easy and fun.I’d highly recommend working with her.
STEVEN NORTON | TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECT
I wanted to upgrade my wardrobe due to a boom in my business. Lisa's strong vision from thirty-five years of experience, coupled with a lot of empathy, helped me move to a higher standard of - well, everything! She worked with me on clothing, helping me understand how to shop for me rather than some unrealistic version of me. She also helped me choose the right sets of glasses, shoes, and even makeup. And we did every bit of this remotely, as I don't live in NYC. I recommend Lisa without reservation.
ALEX SZABLYA | FOUNDER
Lisa curated my wedding weekend looks in a unique, individualistic way that spoke to my personal style and drew on new sources of inspiration. When I first approached Lisa, I knew wedding weekend styling wasn’t a primary part of her offerings; however, we hit it off, and I am so happy she agreed to style my looks throughout the weekend. Most notably, she helped me source a Dries Van Noten women's evening gown from Dries’ final collection before he exited fashion, which I wore to my welcome party. Unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Lisa!
DR. HOUSTON RHODES, DDS | DENTIST
Lisa has improved my personal style. I trust her implicitly with my wardrobe and will wear the clothes that we chose for years to come. The wardrobe edit has saved me hours, and I no longer spend time figuring out what to wear in the morning. Thank you, Lisa!
OLIVIA CARRAFIELL| Weill Cornell Medicine
Lisa is a star. She's kind, personable, relatable, and wise. She knows what's stylish and will help you feel more knowledgeable about fashion. After spending time with her, a brighter, more confident you will emerge.
KARENA KILLCOYNE | AUTHOR
The way Lisa words her texts alone are poetic and instantly give me a surge of confidence.
LACEY WHITE | THE LACEY LIST
I have worked with Lisa for the last decade for both professional and personal styling and have never been disappointed. Always punctual, on point, imaginative and decisive, I count on Lisa's eye to always set me up for success. More importantly, she supports my frame of mind, giving me tools to step out with self-confidence even when I'm wearing something that feels like a stretch. Lisa is my secret weapon and my first call. She truly is a gem.
ISABEL ROSE | ENTERTAINER
For a first-timer using a personal stylist, I am so happy that I chose Lisa! From our first Zoom introduction call, I knew she really cared about her work and wanted to get to know me. Lisa asked general questions about my personal life, career, relationships, but also about my future plans and what I want to look and feel like. The holistic aspect of her work really shined through because she didn’t just focus on fashion, but focused on me as a whole person, learning about the interconnection between every part of my life, my physical self, emotional well being, social circle, and how it impacts my overall wellness. She focused on the little details such as understanding my lifestyle and how fashion fits into it, and what we can do to modify it. Lisa came to my house on a Saturday morning and spent the day with me, not just helping me to clean out my closet, but also teaching me tips and tricks to match outfits and how to choose the right style. She taught me how fabrics breathe, what colors go well together (and how to realize that on my own), which parts of my body to focus on and which I can be more relaxed with, how to accessorize. After the closet personal trainer experience, I had less anxiety about dressing up for every day life, any occasion, and fashion in general. I felt so light and relieved. I didn’t realize how much I had been carrying with me (both literally and metaphorically), and that feeling is what led me to hire her again for the in-person shopping and styling experience a few days later. I knew that she understood me, and would provide a tailored experience for the store experience. And I wasn’t wrong. For someone who doesn’t like to shop, Lisa taught me how to walk in and out of stores in minutes, to know what my style is and what I’m looking for, and not to waste time browsing around aimlessly. She also got me to see where I can take chances and how to grow with my style. I now know what I want and what looks good on me and what I feel comfortable with. Thank you so much, Lisa, for such a fun, enriching, and wholesome experience! P.S. Lisa also taught me that petite sizing doesn’t mean ‘small’ - it actually refers to your height!! Who knew?!
Menka Mattai | Financial services
I had initially approached Lisa to help me curate a wardrobe for fall/winter and a two-week trip to Japan. We did both a closet edit and an in-person shopping day, and it was so much more than I could have hoped for. Not only was it a dedicated, focused effort to find the pieces I needed to round out my wardrobe, but it also helped me discover a style and boost my self-esteem a little bit. :) She really is a true stylist in that she understands deeply how clothing and image can bring out confidence and a sense of self. She’s got great taste, and she’s full of wonderful tidbits of advice and wholesome positive energy that really made it a pleasure to work with her. I am lucky to have found such a kind soul, and thank you Lisa so much for the wonderful experience!
