ABOUT XINA GIATAS

I’m a New York-based fashion stylist, wardrobe consultant and professional organizer known for my period aesthetic and my passion for subversive and disruptive subcultures. I believe that the clothing we wear can improve our mood, inspire us, and excite us.

Though my client experience is broad and diverse, my approach is always consistent: accomplishing business goals by celebrating a wide variety of looks, from the trend-conscious to the obscure. Although I’m primarily a fashion stylist, I also provide a range of related industry services, including brand strategy, art and creative direction and image refinement.

My philosophy

Inclusivity. Image creators hold the power to shift cultural narratives, challenge ingrained biases and replace outdated points of view. I value my immense responsibility in this industry. I prioritize aspirational, equitable work that supports the broad spectrums of race, class, gender, age, shape and ability. Our differences should be celebrated; our personal identities should be fostered and spotlighted. 

Mental health. The fashion industry has rarely prioritized the mental health of the passionate workers who make it run. Business leaders negatively influence behaviors and impress upon their employees unhealthy habits. I pledge never to exploit or underpay, and I will never romanticize overworking.

Mentorship. In an industry often driven by classism and nepotism, I support assistants and emerging stylists with guidance, skills training and opportunities for career advancement. My inbox is always open, especially to those from marginalized communities who are looking for the tools, resources and network connections that will enable them to excel and succeed.
