Hello, I am a Professional Wardrobe Stylist. I pride myself on serving my client’s needs.  My fashion journey started 40 years ago as a Men’s Tailor downtown St. Paul Dayton’s and from there I opened my own Tailor Shop. I was introduced to J.Hilburn, a brand built with my client’s style in mind, not trends, not disposable, but classic, sophisticated and top- notch quality and that speaks volumes in today’s fast fashion. Building thoughtfully curated wardrobes for individuals is what I specialize. Every client has a unique set of needs and I’ve made it my purpose to find the right fit to inspire my clients to express their personal style. With 40+ years of experience and over a 1,000 individuals styled, I’ve been able to establish a process guaranteed to help you look and feel your absolute best.

Think of me as your coach, curator and your Style Doctor.

Denise went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was looking spiffy for the wedding day. The quality products and the unbelievable fit were just half of the amazing experience. Denise was professional, polite, and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend her services for anyone who’s looking for the best fitting, highest quality clothing they’ll ever own in their lives.
Denise has done a fabulous job helping me with my wardrobe. She understands her colors and she pays attention to detail. She has become more than just a stylist she has become a friend.

Denise was very professional to work with. She had a great balance of making great suggestions and recommendations while also taking into consideration personal preference and style. In addition she was great with communication and the one small sizing issue we ran into she resolved extremely quickly. I’d definitely recommend working with Denise. Great experience and will continue to work with her.

My Story

I Don’t Just Style Clothes — I Style Souls.
Yes, I’m a wardrobe stylist. But more than that, I’m a listener, a guide, and a lifelong tailor who sees the story behind the seams.

With over 40 years in the world of custom tailoring—starting at Dayton’s in St. Paul—I’ve spent a lifetime learning how precision, fit, and fabric can change how someone feels about themselves. I’ve tailored everything from men’s suits to women’s evening gowns, and I still believe one thing: how you dress matters.

But I’m not here to sell you clothes. I don’t just style you. I prepare you to take command of any room.

I see you, your vision, your goals. And through that, we create a wardrobe that becomes your second skin—one that moves with confidence, purpose, and quiet power.

Whether you’re stepping into a boardroom, onto a stage, or just into a better version of yourself—I’ll help you get dressed for it.

Let’s style your soul.
