Chris Groom Styles

You might recognise Sandi from C4's 'Gogglebox' I first met Sandi at the UK lanch event for Impulse London. Impulse is a gay event group working to bring more events and fun to London's scene, whilst improving knowledge about self-care, sexual and mental health services I met great people at this event that was hosted by Nieko Strobel at Kensington Roof Gardens. There was a great vibe and everyone was high on life. I approached Sandi with my friend and introduced myself as a stylist. She looked fantastic in a white dress decorated in blue crystals Sandi got in contact a few weeks later to say that she was going to an awards event. After a 'get to know you' chat we decided on an outfit for her. It was a nude, plunge neck, open skirt two piece.

I was working in retail for a high street brand in a busy London location. Stephen Bear (AKA BEAR) came in and needed an outfit for a TV show he was filming We walked about the shop floor talking through his ideas and what the show was about. It's important to understand your client and their needs/what the occasion is to choose appropriate garments. It was for E4's 'Celebs Go Dating' that aired early 2017 Bear was great to talk to; his face to face personality was not how I would have assumed him to be. He was completely real, easy to talk to and knew exactly what look he was going for. He came with photo references, much more prepared then I expected! Tommy gun gangster. I instantly had a concept idea in my head and asked for his sizes. I came back with a complete outfit option for him and gave him shoes to try. He was unsure of the choice of shoes but tried them on to see how they looked He came out of the fitting room beaming and said he felt great! ...
