Personal Styling for Darien Clients, From a Greenwich Studio
Janel Alexander is based in Greenwich, not Darien. Shopping happens at her private Greenwich studio, where the items are pulled ahead of your visit. Sessions can take place at the studio or in your own home.
Darien is one of the towns she lists for her Full Wardrobe Refresh, alongside Greenwich, Westport, New Canaan, Rye and Bronxville. For anyone who would rather work from their own closet on a screen, Online Styling is the alternative. The Personal Styling Services page shows how the services fit together.
