The rise of a celebrity image consultant expert : Nathaniel Handfield: “Many aspiring fashion designers desire to be world famous and dream of having their collections admired by millions on a runway, this is not the way I work,” said Nathaniel. “My clientele wants discretion and exclusive focus on their unique fashion needs.” Nathaniel neither holds fashion shows nor presents himself to the fashion press. He has served as a private tailor, image strategist, style coach and executive protection (EP) agent to ultra-high net worth individuals in England, Scotland, Canada, Turks & Caicos, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.
Nathaniel Handfield , a native of Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands, quietly marked his fifth anniversary as a designer of exclusive custom-made wardrobes for Britain’s wealthiest and most prominent businessmen. Since 2015, Nathaniel only meets with clients who have first made private appointments, an approach that takes luxury fashion buying to a new level of exclusivity.
Nathaniel Handfield about himself: I am a Custom Clothier, Image consultant and online reputation manager, for celebrities , goverment officials, high HNW individuals and business leaders who work in industries where their image directly affects their success. I create custom made suits and formal wear, provide consulting on traditional british Gentlemen etiquette, how to refine and enhance their professional image, the psychology of suit colors, fine dining etiquette, wardrobe creation, International business etiquette ,first impressions and how to use their refined image to leverage opportunities that will advance their business and network.
Nathaniel Handfield and 2020 celebrity style trends: We’ve waxed poetic about our obsession with tie dye, but the summer trend is leaning further into its West Coast roots. “We are loving a California cool vibe for the warmer months, including upbeat and casual trends such as Hawaiian shirts, bucket hats, racer back tank tops, and anything tie-dye,” said Elizabeth von der Goltz, the global buying director of Net-A-Porter. She enjoyed the psychedelic moments seen on Chloe, R13, and Prada’s runway, but don’t sleep on beachside stalls and Etsy shops for an affordable option. Polish off the look with denim cut-offs and old-school sneakers like Vans to really capture the SoCal aesthetic. Stephanie Schafer, the senior fashion director of Nordstrom’, is also dye-ing over the trend, but suggested a grown-up way to dip your toes in the look: “The beautiful print technique feels fresh in sophisticated silhouettes such as dresses and skirts.” In other words, you don’t have to go full-hippie to participate.
Paco Rabanne! Yes: Terms that were banned from the lips of the fashionable while streetwear and athleisure reigned are now being rehabilitated—couture, tailoring, and glamour being top among them. It’s not just a mechanical swing of the pendulum from one thing to the opposite, but a psychological response to events. Paco Rabanne’s Julien Dossena understands exactly why: “It’s about how you uplift yourself through dress. In the end, that’s all we expect from fashion. You know—that thrill when you wear something special? It gives you power; it gives you confidence.” Find more details at Nathaniel Handfield.
