You know what you like, but there is something off about the collection in your wardrobe. You feel like you’re wearing the same dress or top with jeans AGAIN. It feels limiting and impacts your daily mood.
There’s a sense of dissatisfaction with the way you dress. You feel bored by the things you wear and want to understand how your clothes work together. You want to be in sync with your clothes and dress effortlessly. You’re looking for less but better.
Together, we can change your mindset about your wardrobe and help you create sustainable choices regarding the clothes you wear. We will reorganize your closet in a way that works for you and your lifestyle, giving you space and clarity.
I teach you:
→ How to curate a mindful wardrobe
→ Let go of harmful shopping habits
→ Wear clothes that only speak to who you are at your core
→ How to use self-awareness to curate a lasting wardrobe
→ To have less but better
You may be experiencing a life-changing event, such as recovering from a burn-out, sending your children to school, changes in body or size, or moving to a new country or home. If you’re holding on to pieces from the past, they take up valuable space in your life – and wardrobe. To make way for the new you, consider doing a psychological cleanse with me.
Your life is unique and multifaceted. You can wear different clothing to represent various aspects of your identity as long as you understand how they relate. Clothing that is only worn once a year can live in your wardrobe next to the dress you wear repeatedly. It’s about understanding their function.
Together, we’ll get to the root of your wardrobe and find clothes that truly complement your lifestyle. Only then will you see your clothes as an extension of yourself – and the benefits they provide will be limitless.
A Confident Closet stands for:
→ Allowing the different versions of yourself to exist in your wardrobe
→ Understanding why you buy the things you do
→ Understanding that clothes have an impact on your mood and how you think and behave
→ How clothes impact your body image
→ How clothes and style help you to define yourself
According to research, having a minimalist wardrobe and embracing a low-consumption lifestyle can lead to increased life satisfaction, improved personal relationships and general happiness.* The process of a Confident Closet will set you on a path of self-discovery, bringing you closer to understanding what you like, how you like to feel, be perceived, and, most importantly, make you feel good.
Biek, my gods, woman!
This Style Guide is absolutely gorgeous! Truly!!
This is a document I will return to again and again. Thank you for crafting it and putting so much time and effort into it! It is perfect. I love it. ❤
You give me so many more insights into my clothing – beyond the fact that something feels good, I also have a better understanding of fabrics. Above all, I don’t think in terms of “formal is a cocktail dress, work is trousers with a blouse, and casual is sweats”. I feel free to choose that for myself, and maybe it doesn’t necessarily fit into a category, but the fabrics also can contribute to something being formal. Thanks to your expertise and experience as a designer, I know much more about my clothing, what feels good and what suits me. And that makes your approach unique.
I have my own syle and I also really know quite well what I stand for. But it is so nice to go through this together who holds mirrors and gives you nice excercies. Biek really did a fantastic job.
Getting dressed seems simple enough. You put on your pants one leg at a time, and before you know it – you’re fully clothed. But it’s not as simple as that.
Let me tell you; people always judge, especially when it comes to appearance. People may say that being concerned with your personal style makes you materialistic and shallow. And maybe you even thought it’s “stupid to care about clothes that much”.
Micheal Solomon, psychologist and award-winning author, says: “It can’t be trivial because it pertains to what we’re all doing”.
Your style choices are constantly communicating to others. Whether you realize it or not, people are continually making judgments about you based on the way you dress (and yes, you do it, too!). First impressions are quick, so your clothes are the first thing people see and judge. Your clothing is literally your tool of communication.
Your clothes act as a second skin. Your clothing choices lean into who you truly are, in a way that’s bigger than ‘you are what you wear’. I believe passionately that a well-thought-out style starts with an understanding of yourself. Both yourself and your self (your essential being) are the things that differentiate you from other people.
Your clothes should ensure that you feel both physically and psychologically comfortable. It’s about shifting your mindset from thinking about how you look to considering how you feel.
I aim for you to gain a higher level of self-awareness through your wardrobe. My program empowers you to think about what you’re wearing and why you’re wearing it. It helps you see the deeper meaning behind your wardrobe and how it represents you beyond the surface level.
Shopping becomes a breeze when you know your style and what looks good on you. You can easily curate a wardrobe that reflects your personal style without too much effort. This is why I am passionate about teaching you how to do this – it’s so much easier than doing it for you. With a little navigation, you can easily resist temptations and make the right daily choices.
Hi, my name is Biek (pronounced as Beak), and I have worked in the fashion industry for over 20 years, studied fashion for 7 years, and been a fashion designer for more than 10 years. It’s safe to say that I love fashion and have seen the industry from all different facets.
I am an expert in fit, conscious choices and high-quality design, and together, we’ll find your personal style. We will make durable changes to your wardrobe choices. I will help you build a lifelong awareness about which clothing choices suit you and why empowering you to make your own choices going forward.
Do you want a straight-talking fashion expert to help you become your best self? I’m here to help!
This is all about YOU. What do you love to wear? Let’s Bieklutter and get rid of things that create ‘noise’.
Is a deep dive into your closet. Understanding your likes, wants and needs on a deeper level creates more awareness and conscious choices for long-lasting change.
As your Wardrobe Whisperer, together we’ll dive deeper into the Inner Circle of your closet; your Core, Essentials, and Accents.
I am so happy that I started this trajectory with you. I rediscover who I am from deep within and outside. That creates so much peace and space; I’m starting to shine again!
Thank you very much for the Style Guide, I’m really impressed! It looks nice and also has a lot of information and tips.
I find the phrase ‘Easy Elegance’ for my personal style piece very fitting and a nice, complete description that I can use to test my wardrobe.
Often when I bought something that was too ‘elegant’, I would not wear it because it didn’t have a pleasant fit, and the other way around when I dressed too relaxed, I didn’t feel pretty or good…Easy Elegance is exactly the core, as far as I’m concerned!
Yesterday I added a dress to my basket…just before the payments I canceled it. I can’t really justify buying more stuff!
A: It’s a total of 4 weeks of 1:1 personal and profound sessions. And you get the Guide shortly after. Each session is approximately 45 minutes, except for the first Bieklutter session. That is on average 3 hours and this is where you make immediate results!
A: Yes, you can always reach me via Voxer. You’ll receive all this info when you sign up.
A: This trajectory is set up so you can be the most empowered version of yourself. When you’re dependent on a stylist, or a styling/shopping session, you don’t learn to make choices and be the most powerful, confident version of yourself. My program is designed for you to understand yourself, your clothes, and your preferences from the inside out. You will, however, receive several (conscious) labels in your Style Guide. I will not tell you exactly which item to choose because I believe in you making the right choices for you and your wardrobe.
A: The short answer is no. We need to get to the root of your mindset and lifestyle. Reducing noise and finding out what you love is beneficial; my philosophy is that you only get to the core of your wardrobe by seeing your wardrobe from different angles.
Having said that, there are always exceptions to the rule and when in doubt, just contact me. I’d love to hear your story!
A: I prefer to do 1 session once a week, as you also develop a better sense of daily habits over time which we can talk about and unpack or learn from. But, sometimes life is the way it is, and we can definitely talk about a one-day retreat!
