Meet our featured beauty with brains Shom Pal, a personal stylist based in Sydney, Australia. Here is her story:
“I’m a personal stylist but before that I am a wife, a mum and a Full time Quality Specialist. I love writing for my lifestyle blog – Styled By Shom.
After I was awarded the ‘Best Fashion Designer’ title in my city in 2000, I got to showcase my fashion concept at the Smirnoff Fashion Show. In September 2015 I got to visit New York to work for Oxford Fashion Studio’s signature participation in the New York Fashion Week. OFS based in London hired me to work as Backstage dresser for the show. That one week working with reputed fashion designers ignited my passion for fashion and style.
As a personal stylist, I understand that a regular woman managing home and work and thus would prefer more practical fashion options & that’s where my expertise as a stylist comes in. I love dressing my clients in outfits that best suit their body shapes and allows them to express their individuality with confidence.
Background: How I became a stylist
Every birthday I try doing something spectacular for my personal growth. In 2019, I graduated from Professional Styling Academy. Brand new in this profession as a stylist, I faced many difficulties including very discouraging judgements that I will not make it. That, I took as a challenge which I turned into an opportunity as I morphed myself and built my empire single handedly my styling business I call- Styled By Shom.
I didn’t get to have the luxuries of using the services of professional photographers & agencies so I relied entirely on the genius of my beloved iPhone and husband to build my portfolio for success.
I have one single mission as a stylist and that is to instil confidence and glamour in every client I work with.
Here’s a recent verbatim from a very kind well-wisher :
‘U inspire…a certain age group, like for ex, married ones, someone who is not that young, people who had weight issues. U know the 36-26-36 types. Not everyone is that. What we see in models is often this body, which makes us feel more guiltier and sad. But your photos are real. U r gonna be a star, I’m telling you… u have put ur heart & soul in this.’ – Komal Priya
Today, I blog weekly about style, make-up, fitness, everyday fashion tips and a whole range of lifestyle topics.
