In a world characterized by fast fashion and transient trends, there is something intrinsically appealing about creating a personal wardrobe that encapsulates the true essence of the individual rather than that of some newborn Instagram craze. Enter the art of personal shopping, no longer the privilege of the select few-Counter-culture celebrity types but a potent and liberating experience for any person willing to embrace some style with confidence and clarity.
Personal shopping at Style Codes, founded by illustrious luxury personal shopper Dzovig Van Kleef, is much more than a mere transaction. The journey is personally intense, given that it delves into the client’s self, lifestyle, and aspirations.
Drawn from Dzovig’s extensive international background-from modeling to buying to school at the university of the arts London – London college of Fashion, a one-of-a-kind experience rooted in European elegance and Middle Eastern sophistication.
The Power of Making Informed and Stylish Choices
The Art of Personal Shopping primarily revolves around purposeful shopping, which involves selecting items that complement the client’s appearance, lifestyle, and long-term wardrobe goals. Below, the author shares a few of Dzovig’s expert tips for making truly informed and stylish choices.
1. Know your Skin Tone and Coloring
Wear pieces that flatter your own colour palette and build. A well-structured blazer could nip your waist and hang to the right length, drastically sharpening your look.

2. Quality Over Quantity
Measurements make one great jacket infinitely better than five short-burst versions from a trendy fast-fashion shop. Opt for longevity with your fabrics: silk, wool, good cotton. That’s style, and it’s the way to do it in terms of sustainability.

3. Capsule Wardrobe Curation
A basic collection of classic essentials-well-tailored trousers, a crisp white shirt, the perfect jeans, and flats that admit of infinite versatility. Now those basic staples become a canvas onto which looks in any number of styles can be thrown against-the backdrop for ensembles easily transitioned from day into night. This is often where Dzovig starts with her clients in Personal Shopping Abu Dhabi: laying the foundation for a workable yet effort-free wardrobe.

4. Try Before Buying
If a piece moves you, the utmost flexibility comes into play. Comfort and confidence establish a mutually complementary relationship. Question-Do I go out into this world today? Does it marry the vision of me in the mind?

5. Be Brand-Conscious, Don’t Be Materialistic
It’s about the fit, feel, and how long you will have it. Choosing to support ethical and up-and-coming designers is the key to acquiring a much more unique and responsible wardrobe.

6. More Than Shopping: A Style Awakening
Style Codes also offers bespoke Masterclasses for brands and companies, providing their teams with expert insights into colour theory, fit analysis, and personal style development. These by-request sessions go beyond shopping, empowering professionals to refine their fashion understanding and presence.
