For decades, celebrities have relied on the trusted advice of their personal celebrity stylist, a service the average Kiwi would consider as the domain of the rich and famous.
Despite hundreds of stylists working every day in New Zealand to provide style advice to the everyday Kiwi, the long-standing perception remains that style advice is expensive and unattainable to most.
In order to break down the myths around using a stylist, Scentre Group’s Westfield centres have implemented a ‘Style Lounge’ at centres across the country which offers the public free one-on-one 15 minute style sessions with leading New Zealand stylists.
“Fashion isn’t about buying the latest trends on a celebrity budget,” says stylist Jackie O’Fee, one of the stylists taking part in this Westfield initiative, “We all wear and buy clothes so it’s about making this service accessible to everyone.”
Westfield stylists include Jackie O’Fee, Luke Bettesworth, Sally-Ann Moffat, Rose Lally, Coby Haimes, Stephanie Rumble, Leonie Barlow, Trudi Bennett, Sarah Nichol, Shona Wilson and Natalie Clements.
For the first time the Westfield Style Lounge in this new format will be at Westfield Newmarket and open to the public on from Thursday 2nd October until Sunday 5th October.
Westfield centre Style Lounges occurs every summer and winter and travels around most Westfield centres to launch the season. All year round personal styling sessions are available seven days a week during normal shopping hours and start at $230 for two hours. To book a session visit www.westfield.co.nz. To check out the latest trends visit #westfieldstylenz.

A Girl Interrupted By Fashion, Beauty & Anything Pretty That Catches My Eye
This would be an awesome experience I have always wanted a style consultant just to see if and where I have gone wrong, haha
It would be an amazing opportunity to have a style session with Jackie O’Fee!! I have seen her around the St. Luke Westfield and I absolutely love love love her own personal style. I have never had a style consultation so to have this chance with the inspiring Jackie would be a dream. I am a student so shopping is one of the last of my financial priorities, $250 would be an incredible help for my summer wardrobe. Thank you xxx
Congratulations Aleisha – you’re our Westfield Style Lounge Winner! We’ll be in touch via email to confirm timings. Can’t wait to meet you on Wednesday!
🙂
I would love to win! I’m about to start a job in the fashion industry so this would be very helpful to sort out my style for work. I can blog about it too 😉
I’d actually like to gift it to my best friend – she’s just found out she’s pregnant so I think some tips and a voucher for new clothes would benefit her LOADS more than it would me x
Would love a style update, as I haven’t changed my wardrobe since early teen years… Whoops! What a great opportunity to win!
I have never gone shopping in my life. Yeah I get pair of jeans here and there or a pair of canvas shoes but never gone bought a beautiful dress or something nice to treat myself. Also one of the main reasons would be I know nothing about fashion :/ soo yeah this would be a massive blessing if I got this opportunity 🙂
This would be such a great opportunity for me. I’d love to win this as much as I love fashion. I have so much to learn and I couldn’t imagine a better jumpstart than by getting mini-lessons (tips) from a leading stylist.
Every woman could use a professional opinion
I’m 43 and have never been able to get my signature style right 🙁 would love this experience to buy and mix and match clothes to my body shape and explore more with color, as I have a wardrope full of black, greys and beige.. In need of a desperate wardrope makeover.. Please help 🙂
I would like to win this prize because I never have the time or money to produce my own signature style. I have a vision but nothing to implement it with.
I’m a new Mum heading back to work soon and my style needs to change desperately so I would love some guidance please…..plus the $250 Westfield voucher would be a awesome reward for spending the last nine months in “Mum clothes” 🙂
I never know what to wear to really make the most of my shape and always end end up hiding in a swathe of layers plus ive lost wright and have no summer clothes thst fit!
Would love to change things up and get a new wardrobe!
