Ep.112 Liberte Free to Be

How to create a sustainable wardrobe with Sara Ibrahim,

Founder and lead stylist of SIMA.

Those that have followed me for a while will know that I’m a big fan of wearing vintage and preloved clothes, before modelling I used to have my own vintage clothing business called All About Eve and I loved it.

What better way to remind everyone about #secondhandseptember than talking with sustainable stylist Sara Ibrahim.

Sara is the Founder and Lead Stylist of SIMA. As an experienced sustainable stylist and a graduate of London School of Styling. Sara strives to redesign her clients wardrobe habits, creating new from old outfits that reflect their personality and lifestyle. Sara also challenges them to rethink old potentially mindless shopping habits into something positive and joyful.

“As a woman and as a Sustainable Personal Stylist, I want to collaborate building a world where our clothes do not restrict us, but rather empower us.
Because fashion is confidence!”

As an experienced sustainable personal stylist and graduate of London School of Styling, Sara works with her clients to clean up and revamp their existing wardrobe, find suitable pieces to fill the gaps and challenge them to rethink old shopping habits.
When was the last time you shopped in your wardrobe? You might find some hidden gems you’d forgotten about.

"Let's build a world where our clothes don't restrict us but empower us"

When you think of booking a stylist you may still be worried that they’re going to come into your wardrobe and throw away all your clothes and expect you to have a big bag of money to replace them with. Thankfully this isn’t the case and Sara can help you to shop in your own wardrobe strive to redesign your wardrobe habits, creating new from old outfits that reflect your personality and lifestyle.

Subjects covered-
· What is sustainable style?
· Why is it so important
· Losing our sense of identity after 40
· Ditching the numbers
· Body confidence
