Mother’s Day is May 10
Bonjour! I’m Helene Cardon,
Your Wardrobe Nerd
I am a French stylist with a passion for slow fashion. After helping over 150 women curate their closets, I’m known locally for my sustainable and low-waste approach to building authentic capsule wardrobes. Most of my own clothes, shoes and accessories were bought secondhand, and I love to shop my closet.
Years ago, after moving from France to the U.S. and leaving my corporate career to raise my first child, I lost my sense of self. My closet no longer reflected my life. It was filled with office attire, party dresses from pre-children times and ill-fitting maternity clothing. And let’s be honest, I’ve definitely had more than one “What on earth am I wearing?” moment!
I rebuilt my wardrobe intentionally.
Practical. True to my style. Mostly secondhand.
That shift changed more than my style: I started helping friends edit their closet, then their friends, then more women. One day, someone told me that working on her style with me was one of the best things she had done for herself in a long time.
I believe in uncovering what already works: refining it, elevating it, and building from there.
