About me

My name is Leyla Frantzen and welcome to my site.

I hope you will find the content refreshing and interesting as I bring with me a lifetime of experience from so many diverse but somehow connected paths.

Most of all I am a woman who has always had a passion for fashion, whether in my personal style or in my appreciation for the quality, creativity and innovation of the beautiful design that is all around us.

I don’t believe that styling should be all about the label in the garment but more about the combination and pairing of clothes, jewellery, shoes and accessories blended with professional standards of hair and make-up

I understand the camera and the lighting and how I can bring styling alive: I understand the power of posture and posing, of mood and location. I feel that it has always been inside me!

So I decided to formalise my own style with specific education in fashion styling at the B Acadamy in Amsterdam with an intensive course in all aspects of styling, although my much preferred interest is with female catwalk and photographic styling. I study with students much younger than me.

I may be the oldest ‘kid’ in the class but I feel that I bring all my life experiences together with me that can make me a more innovative stylist.
Now school is over this will become the next chapter of my life and I can’t wait!!

I do hope you enjoy the content of my site. It will always be fresh!
