Kirstin van der Flier
Personal Stylist, Colour, Makeup and Image consultant, specialising in Colour Theory & Pattern.
TEXTILE DESIGN
My background is in textile design, specialising in print and weave for fashion application. I have worked across a few industries but mostly in menswear brands in California and Texas. Covid gave me the ability to launch my freelance design business which meant I could continue to work remotely for such brands, as a textile designer. I still offer CADesign work for prints and woven materials for menswear brands and love using what I have learnt to grow my skills and my designing ability. You might even see glimpses of this on my social media, though working a year and a bit in advance, any designing must be quite top secret!
COLOUR
In 2021, after spending most of my Covid experience working on my freelance business and teaching at secondary level (subbing and teaching art), I decided to go back into fashion styling and try to work directly with clients to help people feel and look their best. I started my Image Consultancy service in 2022, launching my colour analysis appointments in September of that year. Since then Colour Analysis has grown into a really popular experience and I am so thankful to be booked-and-busy finding clients’ most harmonious colour palettes and advising on makeup colours, hair and clothing styles. For less hassle, easier shopping and a dreamlike go-to palette you can always go back to, book in for a colour analysis appointment with me by contacting me below.
BRIDAL
In the same year as I started my colour business, I started working at The One by Sinead Corcoran, a Dublin based Bridal boutique. An amazing opportunity to work in the styling industry and meet women from across the country to chat styling, body shape, personal style and how they can incorporate these into their wedding dress shopping. This is still very much part of my everyday job, though my role in the shop has grown into a truly rewarding part of my life; inputting my creative skills from designing, website building, photoshoots, buying, merchandising, and working closely with industry experts, designers, photographers, creatives and of course, the loveliest group of brides. Being a part of brides’ bridal styling journey is the most rewarding. For bridal styling and help finding a bridal wardrobe that feels fashionable, personalised and current, brides can make an appointment with us at The One.
