Item Description

This is a once-in-a-lifetime makeover for someone who would like to be dressed and styled in an eco conscious and utterly fabulous way. The lucky high bidder will receive highly personalized style advice, including suggestions as to where to purchase the recommended eco fashion items.

Here are the steps to this new look:

1. First meeting on Skype to discuss your wishes, style and sizes.

2. You will send Kim photos or video material of yourself, so Kim can see what you look like, how you move, what type of person you are.

3. She will then do the research and propose a number of brands and items (including prices) by email.

4. In a second meeting, you and Kim will discuss the brands and items and you can tell her your preferences.

5. Kim will then contact the designer to see if it is possible to create the desired items; in some cases they will need to be custom made.

6. Then you will be able to purchase the desired items for your wardrobe.

In 2008, she launched ecofashionworld.com, a website on all things ecofashion.
