Fashion Stylist
New Zealand
Effortless Style, Personalised for You
Based in Christchurch
As a fashion stylist in New Zealand, I help women rediscover their confidence, refine their wardrobe, and create a style that aligns with their lifestyle, shape, and personality.
I frequently travel to other centres and can either arrange a face-to-face consultation, or we can connect virtually if that suits you better.
Style With Purpose and Personality
with Stephanie Rumble
Whether you’re stuck in a fashion rut, unsure how to dress your body shape, or simply want to elevate your look, I offer personal styling services that go far beyond just choosing clothes. As a fashion stylist based in Christchurch, I work with women who are ready to make more intentional choices with their wardrobe—whether for everyday life, work, or special occasions.
At Bright Red, my personalised approach ensures your style journey is never cookie-cutter. I help you understand what suits you, identify your best colours, and build a wardrobe that reflects who you truly are. With expert guidance from a trusted image consultant, your transformation begins the moment we connect.
Tailored Styling for Real Women
This service is ideal for women who want more than just a new outfit—they want clarity, confidence, and a wardrobe that truly works for them. Whether you’ve recently gone through a life change, stepped into a new role, or simply feel like your look no longer reflects who you are, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Many of my clients are navigating changes in body shape, lifestyle or confidence, and need help bringing their wardrobe up to speed. If getting dressed has become frustrating or uninspiring, personalised styling can help you feel like yourself again—just more empowered.

Why Bright Red is the Right Fit
With over 18 years’ experience as a fashion stylist and educator, I combine expertise with empathy. I believe style should feel like a celebration of who you are—not a list of rules to follow. You’ll never feel judged, rushed, or pushed to be someone you’re not.
What sets Bright Red apart is the balance of professional knowledge and real-world relatability. I’m a trained corporate stylist, personal shopper, and accountability coach, so I understand how personal image intersects with mindset, career, and everyday life. Whether you’re dressing for the boardroom, a special event, or the school run, I'm here to help.
Let’s Talk Style in Detail
Choosing a fashion stylist in New Zealand isn’t just about finding clothes—it’s about investing in yourself. Below, I’ve unpacked some of the key elements of styling to give you clarity before you book.
Understanding Colour Analysis
A colour analysis helps you identify the hues that harmonise with your skin tone, eyes, and hair. As part of your styling journey, we’ll determine whether warm, cool, soft, or bright tones suit you best. This essential service lays the foundation for a cohesive and flattering wardrobe, and it’s a core part of my colour analysis offering.
Once you know your colours, shopping becomes more intuitive. You’ll waste less, choose better, and feel great in every shade you wear.
What a Personal Stylist Actually Does
As your personal stylist, I take into account your lifestyle, goals, and physical features to create a look that feels true to you. From everyday wear to work attire and event styling, my role is to simplify the process and help you shop and dress with purpose.
It’s not about chasing trends. It’s about dressing in a way that supports your confidence and goals. You’ll always feel supported and never overwhelmed.
Making the Most of Personal Styling
Personal styling is not about trends. It’s about timelessness. I help you uncover your style personality, define your wardrobe goals, and put together outfits that align with both your personal and professional life.
Through this process, we’ll address common challenges such as over-shopping, impulse buying, and the dreaded “nothing to wear” dilemma. With expert fashion styling services, you’ll feel more empowered every time you get dressed.
Why Hire a Wardrobe Stylist?
A wardrobe stylist helps you see what’s possible with what you already own. Whether you’re ready for a full closet detox, looking to add some wardrobe flair, or wanting help coordinating pieces into flattering outfits, this service is about refining—not replacing—your entire wardrobe.
It’s often surprising how many hidden gems already exist in your wardrobe. With my help, we’ll bring new life to the pieces you already love.
Is a Capsule Wardrobe Right for You?
A capsule wardrobe is a curated selection of versatile pieces that mix and match to form multiple outfits. Whether you’re a minimalist or just want fewer decisions in the morning, I can help you build a capsule that reflects your style and makes dressing easy.
This approach also makes packing, shopping, and even laundry simpler. Capsule wardrobes work especially well for women who value simplicity without sacrificing style.
What You Gain From Working With a Colour Consultant
As a qualified colour consultant, I guide you through how to use colour intentionally—from bold statements to subtle neutrals. You’ll learn which tones to embrace, how to combine them, and how to avoid costly mistakes when shopping.
Understanding colour theory is one of the most powerful styling tools. It enhances your skin tone, brightens your appearance, and helps unify your wardrobe effortlessly.
How a Personal Shopper Adds Value
If shopping feels overwhelming or time-consuming, working with a personal shopper takes the stress out of it. I’ll either shop with you or pre-select pieces, so all you have to do is try them on.
From identifying what’s missing to creating full outfits, personal shopping is tailored to save time and prevent regret purchases. It’s one of the most practical and confidence-boosting steps in the styling journey.
Let’s redefine your relationship with clothing and style—one outfit at a time.

While I’m based in Christchurch, I frequently travel to other centres across New Zealand and can often arrange face-to-face sessions in cities like Auckland, Wellington, or Queenstown.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a fashion stylist do?
A fashion stylist works with clients to help them dress in a way that reflects their personality, suits their body shape, and aligns with their lifestyle. This can include colour analysis, wardrobe edits, body shape consultations, and personal shopping. Stylists bring together both technical expertise and intuition to help clients make more confident and informed choices about clothing.
Is personal styling worth it?
If you feel like your wardrobe no longer reflects who you are, you struggle with what to wear, or you're going through a life change, personal styling can be a smart investment. It not only saves time and money long term, but also helps you feel more confident, clear, and authentic in how you present yourself.
What is a colour analysis consultation?
A colour analysis identifies the tones and shades that naturally enhance your features based on your skin, hair, and eye colour. Knowing your best colours makes it easier to shop, coordinate outfits, and build a cohesive wardrobe. I offer both in-person and virtual colour consultation services to help you discover your best palette.
Can you help if I dislike shopping?
Absolutely. Many clients feel overwhelmed or uninspired by shopping. My personal shopping service takes the stress out of it by selecting pieces that fit your goals, body shape, and budget—either with you or on your behalf.
Do you work with clients outside Christchurch?
Yes. While I’m based in Christchurch, I regularly work with women across New Zealand. Virtual styling sessions are available for colour analysis, body shape consultations, wardrobe reviews and styling guidance.
What is included in a wardrobe review?
A wardrobe review is about making the most of what you already have. We go through your current clothing to decide what stays, what should go, and what you may need to complete your wardrobe. It's a great way to reset and refocus your style direction.
How does body shape styling work?
Body shape styling involves assessing your proportions and learning which shapes, lengths and cuts work best for you. It's not about hiding your body, but learning how to dress it with confidence and intention. Many clients find this part of the styling journey incredibly empowering.
What is a capsule wardrobe and who is it for?
A capsule wardrobe is a small, intentional collection of versatile pieces that mix and match easily to create multiple outfits. It’s ideal for women who want to simplify getting dressed, reduce clutter, or invest in quality over quantity. Capsule wardrobes are often tailored around your lifestyle and colour palette.
Can personal styling help me look more professional?
Yes, definitely. Whether you're changing careers, attending important meetings, or stepping into a more visible role, styling can help you project confidence and polish. My corporate styling services focus on helping you align your wardrobe with your career goals while maintaining your individuality.
Is styling suitable for women over 50?
Absolutely. Many of my clients are in their 50s, 60s and beyond. Great style is ageless, and personal styling can help you feel current and confident at any stage of life. My approach is supportive, empowering and tailored to your unique goals.
