About Lakyn
To put it simply: I just really, really like clothes.
After moving to Chicago in 2012, doing whatever I could to get by, I stumbled into my first client during one of my aspirational strolls through Barney's with a friend. From there, it was just a matter of tossing together some business cards and suddenly, my life's passion was realized: I wasn't just put on this earth to wear my own (killer) outfits, but to help others find themselves through fashion the same way I had all my life.
When I lost almost my entire wardrobe in my move to Los Angeles, I was scrambling to figure out how to get it all back. But, after a few months of accumulating worthless fast fashion, I quickly realized disposable clothing would never fill the hole in my heart…and my closet. As a result, I began to educate myself on slow, ethical, sustainable fashion, and now, nearly a decade later, I’ve never been happier with my style and wardrobe. I want everyone to feel what I feel when I look at my closet, so, I took on the task of educating people across the world on how to shop and dress with intention and, in the process, build a better relationship with clothing, with the earth, and with themselves. And thus, The Ethical Stylist was born.
