Interests

• Keen interest in art, especially contemporary art. I like performer artists such as Orlan, Herman Nitsh, Charles Dreyfus etc.

• I am fascinated by photographers such as Joel Petter Witkin, Man Ray and the Surrealist artists of the XX

• Good practice of argentique and numerique photography

• A passionate interest in the Asian continent with particular interest in the old Himalayan tribes

For the first few years I ran a reprographic/design business with my husband, I have been involved in high property sales for 7 years and with all of this going on have always advised friends and family on style.  My family have all been fashion/creative/style orientated – this has always been my main passion and until recently, the last 4-5 years have I been able to concentrate on it a lot more professionally.  I have a web-site www.michelleclairestyling.com, this is at the present time being updated but I am regularly updating it, which I thoroughly enjoy. 

I have been asked to write on unique design pieces for Solent News, which have been published on the internet and found to be Daily Telegraph and The Sun print.

I also enjoy writing for our local magazine twice a year on seasonal on-trend fashion.

My clients are found to be in London, Essex, Herts, Kent and Suffolk for Wardrobe Makeovers and Style Shopping Days.  I am also able to give world-wide advice on-line.
