Style is in Michelle Moquin’s blood. She’s been in fashion her entire working career, designing for anyone who’s anyone in the Bay Area. Thanks to Bonnie Powers (who happens to have been my first profile in March 2023), we connected after a quick introduction at this year’s Marin Fashion Night in Sausalito.
Here’s a few questions pulled from the interview:
What do you do? I’m a personal wardrobe stylist. I empower women and men by helping them discover their true style. It’s not uncommon for someone to tell me I’ve changed their life. There is nothing better than hearing that.
Where can we find you when you’re not at work? Scouring consignment stores for hidden gems, visiting museums and neighborhoods for inspiration and pampering myself at my club with a good morning workout, sauna and massage.
What’s one bit of advice you’d share with your fellow Marinites? Get out of the rut of your habits. Marin is filled with interesting places and things to do. Think, “Never been there, never done that.” Then go explore.
What’s some advice you wish you knew 20 years ago? To trust my intuition, and know that I can’t do it all alone. Spend my time doing what I love, and hire others to do the rest.

When Sharon Stone called me up and left a message on my voicemail saying that she loved the pajamas I designed, and couldn’t wait to wear them out on the town with high heels, I thought that I had arrived. But it wasn’t until shortly thereafter that my designs were chosen and featured in the “Oscar Gift Bags for the stars,” and shown on the popular television show, “The View,” did I actually learn what the phrase meant.
