Renata has provided her services twice on two different periods of my life. When I was 21 years I moved jobs to a Bank , and I needed to uplift my dressing. She introduced dark and business colour to my wardrobe. Chinese style outfits. At the time she was working as a Design Clother Sales ladies at a high profile shopping centre in Rio de Janeiro. This first work was amaizing , I changed from a young sport person in to a Banker working lady. In 2014, I was 39 years old and then I was running a business in London and deliverying public speeches, I became a writer , international speaker and Business Tax consultant with appointmennts in different countries: Renata introduced this time shoes, jewerlly , and underwear consultancy. Her Consultancy have improved my body shape , for business and casual moments. She has made me realised I can be elegant while on casual appointments. She has changed my profile from been casual and careless to being an elegant woman since this last consultancy I get compliment from many people and they think I have a good eye for fashion and when I hear that I always remember who has a eye for fashion is Renata. I am glad I can count on her. Besides those two major projects , I call her from time to time to advice me on ny outfits, specially for seminars, weedings and special occasion. I am a size 20 , I used to find hard to look elegant and fashion at my size. But Renata has showed to value my personal assets , like my breast , hair and wear clothes that work in my favour. She has explained me the lenghts of my dresses and cuts that work better for me :) I am looking forward to an other full session with her .

I got to know Renata through a masters swimming group and always admired her elegant, effortless-looking style as well as her sense of humour and genuine good nature. I had been in mom- and dog-mode, wearing jeans/T-shirts/trainers, for years. I wanted to find more varied and creative ways to dress but knew with my lifestyle I needed easy solutions as I would never devote much time every day to my wardrobe selection.
When Renata took me shopping for the first time, it was so eye-opening. She encouraged me to try outfits that I never would have chosen myself but that suited me beautifully. I don’t always enjoy shopping as I feel it can be stressful to find what I like, but Renata took all the stress out of the process and made the experience fun! She’s very thorough, putting an entire look together rather than just the clothes themselves - I found that super helpful as well.
I’ve also had Renata’s help in my home, going through my wardrobe to put pieces together that I never considered and to weed out items that I’d held on to a little too long! She takes photos of each outfit with various accessories, shoes, combinations and I still refer back to these when I want ‘help’ getting ready for an everyday outing or a more formal event.
The process of working with Renata made it easier to see what basics I needed, how to be more versatile and how I could dress more ‘nicely’ while still feeling comfortable (my mantra!). I’ve been shopping with Renata again and it is such an energising way to start a new season and to liven up my attire and my life! Additionally, she is so good at finding lovely options that are surprisingly affordable which I love. I can’t recommend her highly enough and feel so fortunate to have had her help on several occasions now. I look forward to more time with her in the future too- she’s a wonderful person to spend time with; she genuinely enjoys what she does and is very honest with suggestions while also caring how you feel and what you think.

Hi Renata, I’m sending you this message to thank you for the revolution you made in my way of dressing! I say revolution because you simply transformed the few clothes I have into several combinations that I would have never thought of. This changed me from someone who dressed in a boyish way to a man who wears simple pieces with style and sophistication! I've already received some compliments, and I feel more confident.

Renata has asked me to write a few words to say what I've learned from the time she has spent helping me.
I work a lot and have a busy home life and must admit that for many years I had not invested enough time in caring for myself, my wardrobe and my apperance. I had some events coming up and wanted to reverse this situation.
I had such fun working with Renata, that it became a regular thing for me to pull in her expertise periodically whenever I get into a style rut or have an event coming up. But also I have learned a lot that has stayed with me (that I don't need to ask her repeatedly about) e.g. styling 'hacks' like the right undergarments to wear with certain outfits, the way to roll up sleeves, the way to tuck in a blouse, even the way to vary the look of an outfit dramatically with a few accessory or styling alterations (eg how to turn a 'work' dress into something nice for casual summer party).
Renata has a great eye and doesn't hold to conventional rules - she has shown me how black can worn with navy & how gold and silver can be worn together. Renata has saved me money because she helps me avoid purchases of clothing that aren't suitable (my closet is full of historical purchases that I never wear eg because the cut/fit isn't quite right for my figure).
Most importantly, what I appreciate about Renata is the way she makes me feel - accepted, not judged. She tells me when something doesn't work for me or eg when a favourite pair of shoes have lived their useful life and should be put to rest! But I never feel judged or inferior, because Renata is full of grace and good judgement and positive energy.
Oh and she's a lot of fun too!

Renata Martins has been a great inspiration to me thanks to her innate elegance and ability to transform anyone’s personal style.
In our first session together she came to my house and showed me how to add special touches to outfits I already had in my wardrobe to and demonstrated how I could utilise old pieces to create fun and practical, new combinations.
I’m so happy that Renata has now taught me how to emulate her effortless chic in my own style.
The best part about this transformation process is that Renata has given me the confidence to feel good in what I’m wearing whilst allowing me to stay true to my own personality.

It’s hard to put fashion into words because we can recognize elegance in a simple look!!!
Renata is an example of this. She doesn't need any introductions… just looking at her you can quickly see her elegance!!!
She’s always had this talent. In life, I believe you can learn anything, and Renata had this mission in my life. She helped me become more elegant!
She came to my house, commented on my clothes, gave tips on essential pieces and accessories and, above all, put together outfits for me. Some that I wouldn't even be able to imagine!!! And we photographed all the outfits!!
Today, consulting these photos is part of my routine, because I always wear the outfits we planned.
The photos saved me a lot of time and made my day-to-day easier.
Thank you Renata for sharing your good taste with me!! I have a lot to learn, but after your help I feel I've improved... and whenever I choose an outfit, I'm sure I'm dressed up!!
