Testimonials

Gabi is a master at “The Look For Less.” She styled me for an event and I was complimented more than ever before on my outfit. Also, people kept asking, “Who are you wearing?” Little did they know it was Zara and H&M! The exercise of paring down your wardrobe is a game-changer. Gabi will help you empty your closet of anything that doesn’t make you feel great and purchase key pieces to work with the items you have left or will eventually buy. You end up saving money in the long run because they make all of your pieces wearable. No more items collecting dust in the back of your closet. One of the best things about Gabi is that she is willing to respond to my texts at all times of the day and night. If I’m having trouble putting an outfit together, I simply text her some pictures and she will advise me. Sometimes while shopping, I text her a quick pic and she will help me to decide on a purchase. Priceless!

Carmyn Prefontaine – Fratello Coffee Roasters, Analog Coffee

Working with Gabi to create a functional wardrobe has been such an amazing experience. I had recently made a lot of changes in my life and realized that my wardrobe did not reflect my current life. Gabi reviewed each piece in my wardrobe with such attention, honesty and a fun sense of humour. Once we figured out what could be used and what had to go, we started to shop! This was such a fun experience and I would never have been able to pick the classic pieces that turned into so many combinations of great outfits in the styling process. I will never shop without Gabi again and I would highly recommend this expert to anyone that has a need for a new outfit, vacation wear, an event or an entirely new wardrobe. She will make sure that what you buy is cost-effective, high quality, classic, stylish and versatile. You will never have the problem of buying something you think is great just to end up getting rid of it after one wear. The experience will give you more confidence, you will have fun and get long-term value out of your pieces. Personally, I can not afford to NOT shop with Gabi!

Jennifer Aplin – CEO, Digital Magenta Inc

Gabi helped me out of my fashion rut by overhauling my wardrobe. I couldn’t be happier with my newly organized closet. She also helped me pack for a recent vacation. She reviewed my existing clothing and we bought some additional special pieces. Then she took pictures of my outfits for every day of my trip. Not deciding what to wear on a vacation was extremely helpful and time-saving for me.

Sheila Cassidy Bailey – Health & Safety Consultant

Gabi is a very efficient shopper. The time you save working with her is by itself worth it. But you won’t just be saving time you’ll be saving frustration and $$$ by not buying the wrong things. Highly recommend

Rob McLean – App Developer

Super pleased with Gabi’s services!
She’s easy to connect with, she reads you fast and makes you feel comfortable. My favourite session was the last one when she came to my place to help me match my new stuff versus old stuff. Wonderful experience! Now I wear ALL I own.
Thank you very much!

Marieve Labonte – Bilingual Customer Service Representative

I had the pleasure of receiving a gift for a consult with Wardrobe Detectives. All I can say is the process was simply AMAZING! Gabi was professional, knowledgeable and it was truly a fun and enlightening experience. Gabi completely transformed my closet and wardrobe and provided many more options of stylish outfits that I had never thought of. We also had the opportunity to shop together so that she could help me replace a few items and add items that were missing. I will definitely be continuing to update my wardrobe with Gabi every year and would not hesitate to recommend her.

Sandy Bisson – Realtor, Remax

As my close friends know, fashion is not my thing and shopping for clothes always seem to migrate to the bottom of my to-do list. I recently reached out to Wardrobe Detectives to revamp my work clothing, which was looking rather dismal. Gabi did an amazing job, auditing my wardrobe, shopping for missing pieces and styling everything together, complete with photos. It’s been a few weeks and now and I’m loving my new work wardrobe. Everything works together, I feel more confident, look great and best of all getting dressed and out the door in the morning is a much faster process! Gabi was great to work with. She listened and created a wardrobe that works for me. She is knowledgeable, resourceful, creative, and super-efficient, staying well within my budget. I look forward to working with Gabi again.

Pam McMinn – Senior Marketing Manager, KPMG

Love Gabi’s keen eye for detail and thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She has been amazing at bringing full outfits together. Helped me to up my game for a photoshoot, events and business outfits. Also did an excellent job bringing the right outfits for my skin colour!!

Alice Chandrasekaran – CIO, Digital Magenta Inc

I met Gabi for the first time in May 2017. Right away she put me at ease and we set up an appointment to shop for some classic pieces. My experience with Gabi was great. I had a good time shopping and getting some lovely timeless pieces to add to my closet. She also helped me style them and put them together with what I had. I would highly recommend her. She has a keen eye for what looks good and suits her client. Thanks, Gabi and hope to see you soon!

Margie Castiglione – Philantropist

I HIGHLY recommend Gabi’s services – she provides the best advice for my body type and personal taste! I have had so many compliments on my new wardrobe. I’m actually saving money with her help since she knows exactly where to go for discounts and I don’t buy clothes that I will never wear anymore. Plus, I’m saving time since she’s so efficient during our shopping trips. I can’t imagine my shopping life without her! Best. Stylist. Ever.

Elisabeth Besson – Media Relations Advisor, Canadian Asociation of Petroleum Producers

Gabi is an amazing stylist! I am newly retired and wanted a wardrobe incorporating the sophistication and elegance displayed by European women with my personality. I am looking forward to travelling during my retirement, so this wardrobe also needed to contain clothing that could travel well.

Gabi assessed my initial wardrobe with me, we shopped, and she then styled the new clothes with the existing ones. She taught me how to intermix clothing to produce a large number of outfits with a small number of pieces, as well as how each could be casual or dressed up, according to the accessories worn with them. This will allow me to travel with fewer clothes for many more ensembles. I learned about brands of clothing where I would achieve the best look for the best price and how important fit is to the end result. Gabi listens to what your lifestyle includes, your preferences, dislikes, personality, and takes these into account as she works her magic. There is never any pressure and the whole experience is fun, wonderful and I learned a ton! We have completed my spring/summer wardrobe and I can’t wait to see what Gabi will select for fall/winter! I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Lenni Suave – Retired IT specialist

I contacted Gabi for building a workplace wardrobe for myself and I can say that it is the best decision that I made.
She is a thorough professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. The whole process of analyzing items in my closet to shopping the new ones with Gabi was very informative and fun-filled.

In my closet audit session with her, she helped me identify and eliminate the items that were just sitting in my closet and guided me on what would work best for me.

For shopping sessions, she always kept my comfort zone in mind. She has a keen eye for finding nice fitting items. I now own more nicely fitting dress pants for work than I have ever owned before.

And the best part was – we were shopping at affordable stores in the city, without breaking the bank! 🙂
Thank you for your wonderful services Gabi, really looking forward to our next session 🙂

Jashandeep Kaur – Executive Assistant

Excellent experience! Gabi was very thorough and helped me understand the difference between casual and work-appropriate! She gave me homework and made the process to get a workable wardrobe very doable. I highly recommend!

Vicki Knott – CEO and Co-Founder at Crux OCM

There are so many positive things to say about Gabi and her approach. She has helped me get the best out of my wardrobe while helping me to cut some pieces that just weren’t doing the trick. She’s also a wizard at finding the best possible prices for the new items we purchase. I can always count on her, to be honest with me, so I leave every appointment with complete confidence in what we’ve purchased or in the outfits she helped me put together. Do yourself (and your wardrobe) a favour and work with Gabi!

The first time I worked with Gabi was a game-changer for me. I was planning a European vacation that involved visiting two cities with different climates, and I was worried about packing the right clothes for the trip. However, Gabi came to the rescue and built a curated collection that had me covered with the most stylish and comfortable outfits for two weeks, all packed in a carry-on bag. It was simply amazing!Recently, I attended a holiday work party, and I knew I could count on Gabi's fashion expertise to help me find the perfect outfit. She did not disappoint - she quickly found a beautiful corduroy dress that was just perfect for the occasion and my taste. Gabi also accessorized the dress with the nicest details that did not break the bank. I was elegant, stylish, and comfortable enough to dance the night away.

Gabi helped me shop for some work related events outfits. I felt so relaxed knowing I had something to wear when the coktail gala came up. Before working with Gabi, when I was in need for a cocktail outfit, I would run to the mall last minute and pick up a random dress that made me feel insecure and not put together. Gabi’s approach was to prepare in advance for occasions I knew were coming. So we purchased this classic black and white dress at a steep discount. I felt elegant, empowered, and most of all professionally appropriate during that evening. The best part is that I can wear this dress to other occasions and feel the same. Gabi is value focused, has a great understanding for style and proportion, and a keen eye for deals and sales.

Gabi was a tremendous help in reorganizing and revamping my wardrobe after babies and covid. She helped me put together a capsule collection of professional clothing for meetings and conferences, as well as fun pieces for social events and weekends. I love her focus on QUALITY. I did not feel pressured to buy designer for the sake of the name, but rather, built-out my closet with quality clothing (at many price points) that has transitioned easily from season to season, and year to year. She is a pleasure to work with, and I regularly follow Gabi’s shopping suggestions on Instagram! Her rates are reasonable and I think more than justified by the value of her services.

I'm not particularly interested in fashion, but I do like to look put-together. I find the process of trying on clothes in fitting rooms to be tedious, and I often feel discouraged when I don't look as slim, tall, or elegant as I'd like. Despite my frustrations, I still want to look good, especially when faced with a closet full of clothes that don't seem to fit the bill. That's why I turned to Gabi's website - I was impressed by the positive feedback she had received and I knew she could help me. Shopping with Gabi was a life-changing decision. She didn't judge me and she really listened to what I had to say. When I expressed dislike for a particular color or pattern, she encouraged me to look at my body from a more positive perspective. Working with Gabi felt like a journey of self-discovery. After spending several hours with her, I now have a functional wardrobe that excites me each morning, and I've learned to appreciate my body for what it is.

I recently moved to Calgary and felt I needed some wardrobe updates. I had a closet full of clothes but didn’t have anything to wear. We started with Gabi going through my current wardrobe and helped by deciding what to keep. Then we went shopping! I hated wearing jeans but it turns out I was just wearing the wrong style. I now have a closet full of options that all work together. She styled different options for the office and for casual outings ! She also organized my closet for me and now it is so easy to find something to wear . I loved everything about my experience with Gabi ! I can’t wait to get together again in the spring

Where to start?! I came across Gabi's site (Wardrobe Detectives) by Google search. I read the reviews and they sounded too good to be true, even the ones that qualified their reviews by saying that they too couldn't believe all the hype until they worked with Gabi! All Gabi's 5 star reviews are very deserved and I'm happy to add my own 5 star review! Gabi's work exceeds every expectation. She is a true talent, and has the unique ability to bring out the style of her clients in a way that keeps them current, cool and yet true to themselves and what makes them feel best. It is incredibly impressive to see her work and the impact has been phenomenal. She's not just styling her clients to fit her own aesthetic or tastes, she really goes the extra mile to ensure that she created a wardrobe that would suit the activities and lifestyle that the person lives. She is efficient, fast, loves a good deal, and seems to have a gift for spotting bargains for high quality items! While I would prefer to have Gabi wardrobe plan for my every event, trip and day, she gave me the skills and confidence to do it for myself. Thank you Gabi, you are wonderful.

I was returning to work after a baby and I really wanted to update my closet from leggings/around the house items to more classic/less fad-driven pieces. I was also learning to dress a new body and I wanted to feel good in the clothes I was wearing. As a gift, my husband connected with Gabi to help me with this process.Working with Gabi was such a fun, easy experience. From the closet edit to shopping excursions, she guided the process using her fashion wisdom and sense of humour - not to mention her efficiency. Never have I moved through stores so quickly, made choices so decisively and felt good about all the pieces we chose. Gabi also did a wonderful job of communicating why things “worked” or “didn’t work”, helping me develop a better understanding of how to dress my body in a flattering way. I definitely learned things that I will carry with me as I shop in the future.Overall it was a wonderful experience working with Gabi - I would highly recommend her and her fashion expertise to anyone.

I was in tears when my amazing husband gifted me wardrobe consultation with Wardrobe Detectives on my birthday! My wardrobe, after having three kids, was a range of sizes, with mismatched and I’ll fitting clothes, so to say the least I needed this service. When I had my first home consult with Gabi, I was blown away by how much I learned from her on how to dress my body! She is very stylish herself so that’s a motivation, extremely passionate about helping her clients and personable so it was easy to talk to her about my insecurities and wardrobe desires. Most of all she truly cares as she gave me a run for my money when we went shopping and relentlessly picked out a wardrobe that was worked best for me, my budget, and with my existing items. I’m near the end of my sessions with her, but she trained me well on how to dress my body, accessorize and set up my wardrobe so I can confidently shop for myself!!! Anyone who styles with her will not be disappointed! Love you Gabi!!!
It was an amazing experience of working with Gabi! She dressed me for my job interview and it went extremely well. She also has chosen beautiful closing items for my wardrobe. She is very professional and easy to work with, she knows a lot about fashion and I highly recommend her services.

Gabi has a gift not only for personal design, but also for interior design! She quickly gets to know the client and to intuitively display that person's favorite "things" in the most beautiful way. We hired Gabi to help us with a project for Calgary Home+ Garden Show to decorate our space in a more classic style and unknown to her, she did not hesitate and accepted the challenge! We bought some basics, but I needed someone to help me integrate the books, art, furniture, and accessories so that they could define what we set out to do. And she did ... Magic. She worked so hard on herself, even though we had to stay up all night to fit in ... We got a lot more than the value of my money! Gabi is like a good friend with great design talent ... She does amazing work from start to finish and we highly recommend her!Snejana, Evsee Interiors Furniture

I had a wonderful experience working with Gabi. She helped me select thoughtful staples upon which I could build and elevate my entire wardrobe. I ended up wearing a beautiful pair of joggers she chose on a 35 hour(!) trip to Asia that kept me equally comfortable and chic throughout the whole journey. The clothes we selected together are my favourites to wear, and I sincerely look forward to working with her again in the future. The confidence I have in what I wear now has truly changed my life.

Gabi is amazing! I was in love with her home (seen it on insta). So when I moved into a new house I asked her for help. She just recommended the best kitchenware. I didn’t have to make the research on my own. I just trusted her and bought everything she said. It made my moving process much easier. I’m very grateful.Thank you, Gabi!

I am sure you know that feeling when you open your closet and you have nothing to wear or you spend hours shopping for things you apparently like and then never wear. I feel you. I got to the point I realised I was only buying things I liked but did not fit my body shape and my personality. In a short time my closet became full of unnecessary stuff. So my dilemma was to either get rid of all of them and buy new clothes or get some professional help. I discovered Gabi and Julia from Wardrobe Detectives through their blog and decided to ask them for some help. As I live in Romania, the only concern was the distance and the timezone difference. A skype session seemed like the only solution. It was risky but it worked perfectly. I went through a very fun and useful experience. Not only you get to clear your closet and get rid of useless stuff, but you also get to understand exactly why certain items do not fit you, how to put together timeless basics that would make an impact, and how to define your own style. I could not possibly go wrong with editing my wardrobe and buying new items under the girls’ guideline. They are easy to work and not pushy and they also know how to suggest you only the items that would fit your preferences and your lifestyle. I thought the process would be hard online, but they made it so much easier with custom shopping lists from my local retailers and great advice. Their service is also affordable and not exclusive to rich people only. Thank you, ladies! I would highly recommend you to anyone.
