We have a fantastic team of personal stylists who are trained to work with clients of all ages, sizes, shapes and lifestyles. As part of our ever growing team of personal stylists in the UAE, this post is dedicated to Dubai based personal stylist, Ruba. She is a Dubai based fashion and personal stylist and a valued member of the Style Doctors UAE.
Meet Ruba
Originally from Beirut, Lebanon, Ruba is fluent in English, Arabic and French.
Trained as a graphic designer, my styling career started organically. It was a natural extension to the services I provided for my fashion brand clients because the brand visual content, look-books and collection shoots are just as integral as a brand’s core identity.
I started with editorial styling with intuitive knowledge and later formalised my styling knowledge with different certificates and courses.
Becoming a Personal Stylist
Beyond just an interest in fashion, I find that personal styling can be a very helpful tool for one’s well being. I am aware of how my personal styling choices have reflected or affected what I’m going through physically or emotionally in my personal journey and I’m certain so many can relate to this as well.
My intention of being a personal stylist is to use it as a tool to help others feel better about themselves and their bodies, and empower them to express themselves honestly and confidently through their appearance.
Personal Styling
I love the teaching aspect of it. I feel the significance of personal styling for me isn’t in choosing what a client should wear, but rather teaching them why they are making these choices so they can make it work for themselves in the future – that’s much more empowering!
You’ll make new discoveries or at least get a fresh perspective. Don’t hesitate!
My Training
I have a solid understanding of design and styling but I’m also an energy healer and have done a lot of psychology training.
I think this aspect brings a lot of sensibility, understanding, and empathy to the service I provide beyond just styling knowledge.
My Personal Style
I’d describe it as simple, creative, and elegant. There’s always a balance of these three elements.
Style Tips
Know your body type and embrace it and work with it not against it
Audit your wardrobe to make sure the clothes you already have fit properly, otherwise get them altered or donate them
Experiment and note which items or styles you feel best in
