Owned and operated by industry expert Julie Watson, juliewatsonstyle helps busy women create clarity in their closets and brings focus to shopping by teaching them how to apply the fundamentals of apparel merchandising directly to their wardrobe. Because whether clothes hang in a store or in your closet, the approach to creating an expertly merchandised collection is exactly the same.
After spending 14 years developing collections for some of the country’s largest retailers, Julie Watson was inspired to share her professional background with women who need help maximizing their wardrobes. Most recently, Julie served as a senior director of merchandising for Banana Republic, running a $500 million division of their womens apparel business. At the end of 2006, Julie traded in her corner office for her clients closets and created juliewatsonstyle, a wardrobe consulting and personal shopping service unlike any other in the Chicago area. Launching juliewatsonstyle in Chicago was both a personal and professional decision for Julie. An Indiana girl who spent 16 years living on both coasts, Julie missed the sincerity of the Midwest. Now shes bringing Chicago a fashion sensibility that personifies confident, effortless style.
