Authenticity is the philosophy of Rachel Jimenez.
In February 2013, Rachel launched Rachel J Styling, a wardrobe styling, personal shopping and consulting business in Chicago and Los Angeles. She stepped out on her own to share her passion, and devote more one-on-one time to clients; make her services more accessible to the everyday person; and customize her work to meet their individual styling needs.
When Totem shut its doors, she accepted an offer to work at Nordstrom. The company quickly promoted her to Los Angeles to help manage one of their most prestigious designer departments. There she met Vivica A. Fox, who became her most loyal client and dear friend. Rachel quickly learned how to accommodate the fashion needs of a celebrity lifestyle. She moved on to become Wedding Stylist Manager at Nordstrom’s Wedding Suite, then a new venture of the company.
Her resume grew quickly after her launch and over the past 5 years, she extended her styling services to include editorial and commercial work. In addition to running her own business, she was the Head Stylist for Felix Magazine and continues to be a Founding Outfitter/Stylist for Trumaker, a custom menswear company based in San Francisco. Rachel also represents top designers, getting them into select boutiques and department stores around the country, and is a Consultant to promising fashion start-up companies in Chicago.
Before delving into the industry of fashion, Rachel graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Advertising. She worked in Account Management for several Fortune 500 companies at Shaker Advertising Agency based in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park.
Rachel brings both savvy and sincerity to Rachel J Styling. Her honesty has earned the trust of her clients. She works to bring out the best version of you—authentically you.
