Meet Katerina Kladis | Fashion Stylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Katerina Kladis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Katerina, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Growing up Fashion and Design was something I always loved and had a passion for. After going to College and getting a degree in Fashion Merchandising, Doing Visual Merchandising for a couple years, it was Fashion Styling that I wanted to do, and being in a Chicago at that time, there was not many “Fashion Stylist” jobs out there, so I decided it was time to start my own Fashion Consulting business. In addition I also started an online store called Sugar Sequin Vintage, which I style, rent, and handpick special finds and vintage pieces, and my jewelry line, which uses only vintage designer materials to produce one-of-a-kind pieces is available through Sugar Sequin Vintage.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Katerina Styles, is a full-service fashion consulting agency that specializes in providing fashion advice, choosing and coordinating outfits for everyday life, showcasing and renting designer clothing and accessories, and styling magazine editorials, special events, and photoshoots. We work with men and women of all shapes and sizes, and budgets. What sets us apart is we work with our clients, and get to know them one on one, so we can help in the way they dress to feel the best version of themselves. I also own and operate Sugar Sequin Vintage, an online store through which I style, rent, and handpick special finds and vintage pieces. My jewelry line, which uses only vintage designer materials to produce one-of-a-kind pieces, is also available through Sugar Sequin Vintage.
I am very proud of how far my business has come, I am so proud of all my features, everyone of them means so much to me. Having your own business is a wave of emotions. I’ve learned if you work hard, there isn’t anything you can’t do if you want to.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There are many great places in Florida, but the one place I would take anyone visiting me to is Dior Cafe in Miami. It’s located on the rooftop of the Dior boutique in Miami in the Design District. It has a great ambiance, good food, its a definite must, its a great experience, especially if your into Fashion!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I grew up in an entrepreneurial family, I want to give a shout out to my family that give their advice and support of being an entrepreneur, because without that I wouldn’t be where I am today. Also, the support of family and friends, that show interest in my business and want me to succeed, that has meant a lot along the way.
