Parisian Chic Meets Sydney Vibes: Style Secrets from Gaelle Treguer
At OuiShopp, we’re obsessed with fashion insiders who exude effortless style and have a knack for helping others elevate their wardrobes. Enter Gaelle Treguer—personal stylist extraordinaire and a connoisseur of French fashion with a global twist. Originally from Paris and now living in Sydney, Gaelle’s journey is one of passion, elegance, and a touch of homesickness for all things French. Today, she’s sharing her insights on style, shopping, and how you can unlock your own fashion sense.
From Paris to Sydney: A Style Evolution
Imagine growing up in the heart of the fashion world and discovering Paris Fashion Week at just 10 years old. That was the beginning of Gaelle’s lifelong love affair with style. “I was around 10 years old when I discovered Paris Fashion Week on TV,” Gaelle reminisces. “My grandfather would hand me K7 tapes he had recorded of Paris Modes, and I would spend my pocket money on VOGUE, ELLE, and L’Officiel magazines.”
Fast forward to today, and Gaelle has turned that childhood passion into a successful personal styling career in Sydney. “I realized that I had always found joy and motivation when helping friends or even strangers in shops’ fitting rooms with styling advice,” she explains. Her approach blends French fashion savoir-faire with an understanding of personal identity. “Fashion is not frivolous, it is a lot more!” Gaelle says. “It’s where savoir-faire, talent, dreams, ways of expression, and storytelling meet.”
As an introvert with a creative streak, Gaelle uses fashion to silently express her personality. “I am an introvert, sensitive, and creative. I think my style is the reflection of who I am without having to say anything,” she shares. Whether it’s a thoughtfully chosen accessory or a full ensemble, her look is always “effortlessly put together,” with a focus on sophistication and craftsmanship.
For Gaelle, favorite brands like Vanessa Bruno, Kujten, and Isabel Marant help keep her French roots alive, even after 15 years of living abroad. “I think after 15 years away from home and a little homesick, I emphasize my French style even more by wearing a lot of French brands,” she reveals. Her go-to outfit? Imagine a chic, timeless combination of French elegance that whispers sophistication—just like Gaelle herself.
Fashion Advice: Trusting Your Inner Circle
When Gaelle needs a second opinion on a tricky shopping decision, she turns to two trusted confidants: her friend Loan and her brother. “Loan shares my passion for fashion, she is my shopping companion,” Gaelle says with a smile. “My brother also has a sharp eye for fashion and knows me very well.” That mix of personal connection and a shared love for style is what makes shopping such a joyful experience for Gaelle.
At OuiShopp, we love how Gaelle’s approach mirrors our philosophy of group shopping—getting feedback from friends and loved ones, but always staying true to your own vision. Shopping together with friends online has never been easier with OuiShopp app, where you can start a Spree, share items, and get real-time advice from your inner circle.
Gaelle: The Go-To Shopping Guru
Gaelle’s friends and clients all know one thing: when in doubt, ask Gaelle. She’s the ultimate go-to for shopping decisions. “I can’t help it, and they love asking me!” she admits. “I am always available for shopping advice and will search the Earth to find that special piece for a friend.” And her motivation? It’s all about making people feel empowered. “I want them to feel good and empowered with their style and with what they wear.”
We're all about that vibe—shopping as a tool for self-expression, empowerment, and fun. Whether you’re unsure about a big purchase or looking for the perfect dress for a special event, Gaelle’s dedication to finding those “wow” pieces is a reminder of how shopping with friends can make all the difference.
Finding Your Style: Gaelle’s Expert Tips
Developing your personal style is all about self-discovery and experimentation. Gaelle believes in taking the pressure off and just having fun. “Sit down for a minute and have a think about who you really are, what are the things you love and have always been attracted to,” she advises. “Don’t worry about what other people might think, because when you wear an outfit that reflects who you are, then you will find confidence.”
Her final tip? Embrace trial and error. “Your personal style will always be growing and changing,” she explains. “It’s important to be aware of what elements stay in your closet over time—those will be how you successfully introduce new trends into your style.”
