Kristi Kelley, Wardrobe Director, The Image Studios
Kristi Kelley has been turning heads with her fashion sense since the
age of 13 when a button-down Oxford shirt, shorts and brown penny loafers
put her on the upper echelon of style.
Now, all that closet coordination is paying off in her role as The Image
Studios' Fashion Director and Wardrobe Consultant where she helps her
clients revamp their images with sharp, casual looks or classy workplace
and evening apparel choices.
Kristi sharpened her natural fashion abilities in closet assessment and
wardrobe enhancement with a Fashion Merchandising degree from Illinois
State University. She then furthered her studies by traveling abroad
and working with established designers in London and Paris.
Among her career highlights, she has worked with manufacturers and designers
at the Apparel Center of Chicago and handled retail and wholesale sales,
production of fashion shows and special events for Saks Fifth Ave. She
even coordinated an evening wear line from design to production to distribution,
leveraging her special expertise in Formal Wear.
With 10 years of experience in the fashion industry, Kristi is an expert
at choosing the labels and looks that best fit her clients. Kristi
stays on the cusp of industry trends through her active involvement with
the Fashion Group International (FGI) and Association of Image Consultants
International (AICI). She is also an image consultant instructor
at IADT (International Academy of Design & Technology).
