Roberta Lee in Vogue Business on Sustainable Personal Styling and Changing Fashion Behaviours
How personal styling evolved beyond shopping to support more intentional wardrobe decisions
Featured in Vogue Business, Roberta Lee contributed to a feature examining how personal styling was evolving in response to changing consumer behaviour during the Covid-19 pandemic. As wardrobes, lifestyles and priorities shifted, the role of the stylist expanded beyond selecting new clothes to helping clients reconnect with what they already owned and make more considered purchasing decisions. The feature explored the growing demand for sustainable styling, circular fashion and greater transparency within the industry. Roberta's contribution reflected her long-standing belief that personal style is built through understanding, not accumulation. By helping clients make better use of their existing wardrobes while navigating ethical brands and responsible purchasing, styling becomes an exercise in long-term wardrobe strategy rather than continual consumption.

Roberta Lee on sustainable personal styling
Updated 2026
The role of a stylist has changed significantly over the past few years. Increasingly, clients are not looking for someone to simply tell them what to buy. They want clarity. They want confidence. They want a wardrobe that reflects who they are and supports how they live today.
Style isn't about clothes. It's about understanding the relationship between identity, values and self-expression. Shopping is only one small part of that conversation. The most valuable work often happens long before anyone considers buying something new, by understanding what already exists, identifying what's missing and building a wardrobe with greater intention that can evolve alongside the person wearing it.
