Meet Stephanie Bedell | Fashion Show Producer & Wardrobe Stylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Bedell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
If you can’t stop thinking about it that’s your drive there. Your passion will always lead you back to where you need to be.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a Plus Size Wardrobe Stylist who specializes in secondhand fashion.

Self proclaimed Stylist. I’ve always loved fashion, so I claimed the title until I earned it.

My proudest accomplishment thus far in my career is my thrifted fashion show entitled Rags $2 Riches (5th Annual Sun, 2/26/23 held in Detroit) and my partnership with the Salvation Army.

I love what I do! Working a regular job was never for me. I tried for years! Entrepreneurship called me, I did NOT call it. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy, but it’s worth all the long days and early mornings.

I specialize in Plus Size fashion. An area in fashion that is often neglected.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
