Fashion stylist and tastemaker Kalyn Johnson is a true New York fashionista. She has an extraordinary ability to assess what will be most flattering to a client and uses her vast resources, inspiration and creativity to develop truly amazing "looks" whether the occasion calls for casual elegance, downtown chic, urban flair, or beach sophisticate. After ten years of practicing corporate law at a large international law firm, in 2007 Kalyn launched her own company, Style by Kalyn Johnson. She specializes in wardrobe makeovers and takes her clients through each step in the process of building a wardrobe for every season. Kalyn is not your typical fashion stylist. She's a bit different from what you see on TV or read about it the magazines. Kalyn works with "regular" people and understands that not all of us have trust funds and/or wear a size 2. Kalyn's been where you are -- the graduate student, professional, aunt, daughter, girlfriend etc. -- trying to juggle it all and figure out how to make fashion work on a variety of budgets. Kalyn will help you: stop worrying about size and focus on fit; define your own personal style; figure out which trends are right for you. A number of Kalyn's clients regularly appear on television, and Kalyn herself has appeared on "Good Morning America," New York's Fox News, BET and BETJ, and on Women For Hire TV. Kalyn is also a style expert on the nationally syndicated radio talk show, "The Cooper Lawrence Show" and has been featured as a style guru on iVillage.com and as a shopping expert with the Associated Press. In addition, she co-authored The BAP Handbook: The official Guide to the Black American Princess. Kalyn has a Bachelor of Arts and a Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan, and a Masters of Arts from the University of Chicago, but her most valuable degree is her professional, polished, hands-on approach with clients.
