Passionate about reclaiming dressing for oneself, Iman Leslie created The Style Editor in autumn 2013 after years of editing her own closet and lamenting how much of its contents didn't suit her actual lifestyle. Having worked at the luxury online retailer Net-A-Porter.com as a Personal Shopper, Fashion Advisor, and product specialist for more than six years, Iman saw first hand that the appetite for fashion far outpaces the needs it fulfills, and often quite poorly, giving trends too much weight in our lives. Fashion mistakes are costly financially and emotionally, sparing very few - even a professional Personal Shopper!
Iman recognized that these costly shopping errors could be recovered by utilizing the abundant online resale market, as well as consignment and buy-trade-sell stores. However, the real perk of closet editing is uncovering what truly suits your body, preferences, and lifestyle - and having a wardrobe that celebrates the pleasure of dressing and how one expresses themselves before speaking.
Iman grew up in Montclair, New Jersey and studied economics before receiving a Masters in Global Fashion Management at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and becoming a certified to teach yoga. She is currently eCommerce Operations Manager at Bottega Veneta, a brand known for quality over quantity. Check out her professional details via the LinkedIn link below.
Iman is proud that The Style Editor empowers men and women to reveal their authentic selves through dressing and of its sustainable approach to fashion.
