Meg Goldman Gets it Right

The world of a stylist can be a tricky one. One has to constantly deal with what the client wants, working within budgets, how the image will turn out on film, and the end result of that intertwined project. Many people would be overwhelmed when confronted with this job, yet Meg Goldman, a stylist living and working right here in New York City does it with finesse, ease and of course, style, working magic for her corporate clients as well as personal ones over the past fifteen years and counting.

It is this helpful insight in providing service journalism and answering through the job of stylist, solutions to problems that the real woman has to deal with in her everyday life that Goldman seems to excel at best.

It is through this attention to what a real woman wants, as well as what she believes that the average woman is looking for that works so well in her favor, and continues to as judging by her ever growing resume. “I believe that a woman should feel beautiful but also comfortable” states meg when asked about her work and how it benefits the average woman, adding that “styling can be a very tough job, but it pays off when you see the look come together in the end and see that the job was done well”, a sentiment that no doubt rings true and continues to further her career within all aspects of this exciting industry.--Stephen Fisher--
