Today we’d like to introduce you to Luisa Nunez.
Hi Luisa, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve always had a deep love for fashion, and looking back, it started as early as age seven when I would cut out images from my mom’s beauty magazines to create my own fashion albums. That passion evolved into designing and hand-sewing outfits for my dolls, using whatever fabrics I could find—old T-shirts, pillowcases, anything that sparked my creativity.
While my early career took me into marketing and communications, where I spent six years developing skills in client relations, problem-solving, and strategic thinking, I eventually knew I had to pursue my true passion. That’s when I took a leap, left my job, and moved to Barcelona to study fashion design. My time there shaped my creative process and aesthetic, blending my Latin American roots with European influences.
After completing my studies, I moved to the U.S. to be with my now-husband, and through the challenges of cultural adjustment, I found clarity in my purpose. I started **Luisa Nunez: Fashion and Style LLC**, where I help clients discover and refine their personal style. My work is not just about clothes—it’s about confidence, empowerment, and feeling truly yourself in what you wear. Whether working with professionals, full-time mothers, or individuals looking to refresh their wardrobe, my goal is always the same: to make style effortless and fulfilling.
There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client look in the mirror and *love* what they see. That moment of joy and confidence is why I do what I do.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like any journey worth taking, mine has had its challenges. Transitioning from a stable career in marketing to pursuing fashion full-time was a leap of faith. Leaving my job to study fashion design in Barcelona was both exciting and daunting—I was stepping into the unknown, navigating a new country, and immersing myself in a highly competitive industry.
Moving to the U.S. brought its own set of challenges, from adapting to a new culture to rebuilding my network from scratch. Starting my business, **Luisa Nunez: Fashion and Style LLC**, was incredibly rewarding but also required persistence. There were moments of self-doubt, especially in the beginning when I was working to establish myself and prove my value to clients in a new market.
However, every challenge has been a learning experience. The struggles taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of building genuine relationships. Over time, I’ve been fortunate to connect with incredible clients and mentors who have supported my journey. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing—every obstacle has helped shape the business and stylist I am today.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I specialize in *personal styling and custom clothing, helping clients build wardrobes that reflect their personality, lifestyle, and aspirations. My background in **fashion design, marketing, and personal styling** allows me to merge creativity with strategy—ensuring my clients not only look great but feel confident in what they wear.
I’m known for my **attention to detail, personalized approach, and ability to truly understand my clients’ needs**. Whether I’m guiding someone through a **closet makeover**, designing a **custom suit**, or curating a wardrobe for their everyday life, my goal is always the same: to make getting dressed effortless and enjoyable.
One of the things I’m most proud of is the **genuine connections I build with my clients**. Seeing their excitement when they rediscover their style or put on a perfectly tailored outfit is incredibly rewarding. I love that moment when a client looks in the mirror and **feels empowered, confident, and in control of their image**—it’s why I do what I do.
What sets me apart is my **unique blend of expertise**—from understanding garment construction and fit to incorporating personal style psychology and brand messaging into my work. I also bring a multicultural perspective, drawing from my **Latin American roots, European influences, and experience working across different markets**. My approach goes beyond just clothes—it’s about crafting a style that tells a story and enhances my clients’ daily lives.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Networking and finding a mentor can feel overwhelming, but I’ve learned that genuine relationships and a willingness to learn are the key to success. My best advice is to be proactive, stay curious, and always bring value to the table. Whether that’s through sharing insights, offering help, or simply showing up with a great attitude.
For me, building connections has come from being intentional and putting myself in environments where I can meet like-minded professionals. Attending industry events, joining networking groups, and engaging with people both online and in person have all played a role in my journey. But the most important part is following up and nurturing those relationships—a quick coffee chat or a simple check-in can go a long way in building trust.
When it comes to mentorship, I’ve found that mentors don’t always have to be a single, formal relationship. Some of my best mentors have been people I’ve worked with, collaborated with, or even admired from afar. Learning from their experiences, asking thoughtful questions, and observing how they approach challenges has helped shape my own path.
Most importantly, stay open and keep growing, mentorship and networking aren’t just about career advancement, but also about building a community that supports and inspires you.
