By age 30 she was managing large teams for some of the biggest retailers in London’s West End - Anthropologie and Hobbs. She received a first in Fashion Marketing from The London College of Fashion where she discovered her passion for sustainable fashion.

Loulou called it the Storey Style Method.

    Using the Storey Style Method, Loulou encourages people to discover their own style by understanding their style taste, ambition and natural style instinct. She uses a style words method which helps clients to create a style that truly embraces who they are and ensures they are making the impression they desire.
