Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Alexa Pontello. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alexa, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us about a time where you or your team really helped a customer get an amazing result?
One of my most fulfilling experiences as a stylist was working with a postpartum mom who came to me feeling disconnected from her body and unsure of her style in this new phase of her life. She was navigating a new identity as a mother while trying to rediscover herself after the physical and emotional changes that came with childbirth.
Our goal wasn’t just about finding clothes that fit her; it was about helping her reconnect with her confidence and sense of self. We spent time discussing her lifestyle, what she felt comfortable in, and where she wanted to play with her style a little more. I focused on creating looks that celebrated her new body, emphasizing her strength and the beauty of where she was now, rather than trying to “get back” to where she was before.
Seeing her light up in outfits that made her feel both stylish and herself again was incredibly rewarding. By the end of our sessions, she not only had a wardrobe that worked for her current needs but also a renewed sense of who she was, both as a mom and as an individual. It was a powerful reminder of how fashion isn’t just about the clothes we wear but how those clothes can make us feel strong, confident, and capable of taking on anything.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Fashion, to me, is about more than just the clothes—it’s about crafting a story. As a personal stylist, my passion lies in helping people discover their own narrative through style. It’s about giving them the confidence to step out and truly own who they are, whether it’s in a professional setting, on a night out, or just navigating everyday life. I’ve always believed that style is a reflection of self-expression, and empowering someone to embrace their true authentic selves. What sets my approach apart is the personal connection I build with each client. I don’t just style for the occasion, I style for the individual—their personality, their goals, and how they want to be seen. It’s about creating something authentic and personal that makes them feel like their best self, every time they step out the door. At Alexa Shae Style, my services are designed to simplify and elevate your fashion experience. From a Closet Clean Out that reveals your hidden gems to the Hero Piece Method, where I build looks around your wardrobe’s essentials, I make styling effortless. Whether it’s a custom Shoppable Lookbook or an In-Person Fitting brought to your door, I curate outfits that fit your style and life. Need help packing for that getaway? I’ll handle that too. Chic, seamless, and always tailored to you—because fashion should be as dynamic as you are.
What I’m most proud of is seeing that moment of transformation—the shift when a client not only looks great but feels it too. That’s the heart of what I do. It’s not about chasing trends or following the crowd—it’s about creating a lasting impact through style that’s personal, empowering, and unforgettable.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
A key mission that drives my creative journey is breaking the stigma around fashion being superficial or shallow. For me, fashion is a powerful tool for transformation—it’s about much more than just putting together outfits. I want to help women harness the power of style to build their confidence, redefine their identity, and feel empowered in every aspect of their lives.
The way we present ourselves to the world has a profound impact on how we feel, and I’m passionate about helping women use fashion as a means of self-expression, strength, and authenticity. My work isn’t just about creating looks—it’s about crafting the narrative of how my clients want to move through the world, owning their power and embracing their individuality.
What fuels me most is seeing that transformation, watching someone not only wear an outfit but own it—because when style aligns with inner confidence, it’s magic. That connection with my clients, helping them embrace their individuality and turn their wardrobe into a reflection of their personal power, is what keeps my creative journey alive.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a creative is the constant evolution and growth in my work. My role is never stagnant—there’s always something new to learn, whether it’s mastering innovative styling techniques, discovering emerging designers, or challenging myself to step outside of my comfort zone. The diversity of inspiration keeps my work dynamic, whether it comes from runway shows, street style, or even the beauty of everyday life, like a walk in nature.
I value the freedom to draw from so many different sources and apply them to my creative process. This allows me not only to express myself fully but also to help my clients do the same, reflecting their individuality through style. It’s this continuous flow of inspiration and the ability to transform that makes my journey as a creative both fulfilling and exciting.
