I recently moved to San Francisco and sought out Victoria specifically because of her 1) HOLISTIC approach that encompasses deep knowledge of her client, their personality, their schedule, and overall lifestyle. Her services go beyond wardrobe to also include health and beauty service recommendations 2) Her experience with INTERNATIONAL clients (I'm a former U.S. diplomat and have only worked for global companies) 3) Her SF-SPECIFIC knowledge of how to dress for this city's microclimates.

Victoria exceeded my expectations in all of the above. I wanted to align my personal brand with my new senior leadership role at work and new life chapter defined by the following: Authenticity, self-belief, and courage. I sought out Victoria because I wanted my personal brand to reflect the authentic leader I've been all along.

Three things stood out to me about working with Victoria:

1) AUTHENTIC: Victoria took the time to understand me and my unique layers that inform my personal brand. She remembers the details, like how I'm leading an all-women team and want to set a positive example for them. She remembers that I'm vegan (and therefore do not want to wear animal-derived clothing) and a weightlifter (so I need clothes that will accommodate future muscle growth). Victoria helped me develop my personal brand while staying true to my personality and values.

2) CANDID: Victoria is not afraid to tell you what she really thinks. I really appreciated Victoria's candid perspective on what works and what doesn't and why as it has helped me hone my own fashion sense.

3) CUSTOM LOOKBOOK: Finally, I appreciated the custom lookbook that included specific outfits, including accessories, for my most frequent occasions. Whether I'm at the White House, going to a conference in Napa or NYC, hanging out with friends, or shopping at the farmers' market, referring to this lookbook removes the guesswork and automates my personal brand.

To get the most of Victoria's expertise, I recommend the following:

1) KNOW YOURSELF: Know what you want and why and articulate that clearly during your initial consultation

2) BE OPEN: Approach the process with an open mind and curiosity - Evolving your personal brand while staying true to yourself requires taking some risks and feeling uncomfortable. Embrace that - you are investing in yourself and you are worth it.

3) TRUST: Trust Victoria and trust yourself - Victoria has helped me see possibilities I never would have created myself. It can be scary, but this is how change happens.

I love having Victoria on my team in life and I look forward to working with her again in the spring!

Victoria was a dream to work with. I am the Director of Operations for an aerospace engineering company and I've always struggled with my style because (1) I work in a small, casual town; (2) I need to be able to run back to the labs and get my hands dirty; but (3) I also frequently interface with personnel from various government entities. Honestly, every day I would wear jeans and running shoes to work. Victoria took those convoluted requirements and completely nailed my style in a single day. When I arrived at our first location to shop, in the San Francisco Bay Area, she had already hand selected items in my size and from there it just went so seamlessly. I walked away with several great pieces and a lot of things learned. Victoria helped me discover things I never knew about myself like the fact that I have a short torso and narrow ankles. Knowing that information explains why I've always struggled to find clothes that fit correctly and shoes that do not slip off my feet. I now have a wardrobe that allows me to do my job but still look put together and stylish. I will no longer be the manager wearing jeans and running shoes. She is hands down the best fashion stylist in the Bay Area, honestly probably the entire West Coast.

Victoria is awesome. I had a long career in finance, consulting, tech and the design industry. As I transitioned from being the CEO of the world's largest and most respected design firm to doing consulting and Board work, Victoria helped me develop a style that was authentic and reflected my personal brand. Now I have a spectrum of looks that I can use, from Sonoma wine country casual, to business casual, to San Francisco symphony sophisticated. Victoria is easy and fun to work with as a stylist who brings deep expertise in image, fashion and brand. I can't say enough about how much I have benefited from being a member of her VV Club.

VHS is in a league of her own. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area Victoria Hitchcock brings unparalleled expertise, acumen, and panache as the best fashion stylist, image consultant, and tech lifestyle expert our region has to offer. She has impeccable taste that draws from years spent abroad.

I decided to enlist Victoria’s help after seeing many of her clients present as stylish without trying too hard and each w his or her unique twist. No cookie cutter formula.

What I appreciated most about working w Victoria was the initial consultation and how deeply VHS explored my unique tastes, preferences, lifestyle, budget and personal goals. Her extraordinary eye for incorporating “high and low” resulted in some fabulous effortlessly chic professional looks. After her deep dive forensic of my wardrobe she made a few cost effective recommendations to elevate and tie pieces together.

My favorite look was for a gala. Shoes and dress could not be better. ❤️

Working with Victoria was an absolute delight.
