About Shaye Strager
Shaye Strager began her career 28 years ago in New York City, and her clients then and now have included award-winning actors in film, television and on Broadway; professional athletes; musicians and entire bands (even a city orchestra!); business leaders; advocates; healthcare professionals, and many more. Early in her career and for more than a decade, Shaye worked backstage at New York Fashion Week, accessory-styling top runway shows for designers from Badgley Mischka to Irina Shabayeva; Tracey Reese to Cynthia Rowley; Carmen Marc Vavlo to Zac Posen. She still has personal relationships with many of the designers, producers and models.
Today, Shaye brings her savvy fashion eye, designer relationships, and personal, approachable vibe to clients not only in Atlanta, but also in several other U.S. cities.
When Shaye moved to Atlanta in 2013, she quickly made her mark on the city: she has been the in-house stylist for two of the Southeast’s premier luxury retail spaces, Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza. She is also the personal stylist for Atlanta’s “Mama Jan,” (Jan Smith), producer and vocal coach to Usher, Justin Bieber, Rob Thomas, and hundreds of charting and emerging artists, many of whom Shaye has styled. Shaye’s roster of clients also includes seven CEOs and numerous female-owned brands and businesses, including nonprofit leaders and executives.
On a broader scale, Shaye has developed corporate dress codes and styled the leadership teams for companies such as Cadillac and Deloitte, helping them reflect their individual brand and core values on a visual level. She is also a fashion contributor for CBS in New York and Atlanta, and has appeared on The View, Extra, Entertainment Tonight, as well as in dozens of print and digital media outlets. Through her daily posts on Instagram (@ShayeStrager) Shaye shows up, dresses up (or down), and shares her tips and experience about her favorite designers (and why); how to create your personal style; the must-haves and nice-to-haves, and the things people want to know most when it comes to fashionable dressing with confidence, comfort and style.
