Fashion is a certified art form, and as the saying goes, “what you wear is how you present yourself to the world.” No one understands this better than Atena Crain, the maverick mastermind behind the personal stylist brand, Styled by Atena. A creative personal stylist with a unique flair that translates into stunning fashion pieces, Atena is equipped with a vision that helps her clients express their style and individuality.
“I love self-expression through style, and my business is centered around supporting my clients at a high level with great care and attention to detail,” the fashion mogul shared.
Hailing from Iran, Atena’s creative flair for expertly combining fashion pieces stems from the cultural shift she experienced as a young girl migrating from her home country to Ukraine and finally to the United States.
As a young girl trying to blend in a new country, the budding stylist wanted to dress similarly to her peers, but her family’s finances were limited. Undeterred, Atena began modifying her cheap thrift shop clothes and hand-me-downs and often spent hours sewing them and combining them in different ways. Finally, to complete her chic look, the fashionista paired her outfits with big earrings and heels, thus expressing herself through fashion when she could barely speak the language.
The fashionpreneur honed her skills through the years and began styling others professionally. Her astute eye for colors, and texture, combined with the right accessories, catapulted her to the top of her industry, and now, Atena Crain, through her brand Styled by Atena, professionally styles women, executives, entrepreneurs, speakers and more, helping them express themselves through their well-curated fits while representing their brand in the best light.
One unique attribute that makes Atena Crain a cut above her competitors is her ability to provide exceptional personalized services that leave her clients looking and feeling like a million dollars. “I spend a lot of time one-on-one with my clients to understand their wants, needs, and lifestyle. I pay attention to detail, from figuring out the most comfortable and cute shoes for their event to strategizing on the look of their personal brand. Then, when it’s time to shop, I look through hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces until I find the perfect one for the client,” she explained.
Additionally, the thriving fashion mogul is not one to cater to a quick fix of trendy fast fashion; instead, she helps her clients invest in their long-term wardrobe, carefully curating their closets to suit their lifestyles and needs.
On top of making giant strides in the fashion industry, the emerging fashion mogul is a serial entrepreneur and the owner of T&A Tax and Business Services, where she collaborates with small businesses to help with their accounting needs and ensure they are well-educated in tax matters related to their organization.
In the coming years, the inspiring individual aims to expand her brand while cementing her reputation as the go-to stylist for the fabulously chic look. Furthermore, she wants to inspire others to never relent in their dreams and never stop striving for greatness.
