OUR DEDICATED PERSONAL SHOPPERS

  • Caroline Hanratty

    Head of Personal Shopping, Brown Thomas Group
  • Tell us about your Personal Shopping role and how it has changed over the years? 

    It has been truly exciting to be at the cutting edge of creating new methods of interacting virtually and reaching out to personal and private clients. Great relationships with our clients are the cornerstones of our personal shopping department's success and the importance of those relationships remains the same whether we are meeting in the store or bringing the experience into our client's home.

    What does style mean to you?

    Style to me is about thinking in complete outfits. It's also about being authentic to yourself and what suits your lifestyle.

    Tell us more about your Virtual Shopping service and what a customer might expect from it ?

     It's  an amazing way to experience the store and the beautiful fashion and accessories that we have constantly delivering into us. The customer can expect to see an edit of whatever they have directed the personal shopper to prepare from the comfort and safety of their home. The call is done via Zoom or Facetime and the edit is talked through by the Personal Shopper who will answer any questions on size, fit and styling. The selected  items can then be delivered to your door.

    What do you think are great wardrobe investments?

    I think that great investments are really down to your personal style and individual body shape, that said, nobody regrets a tailored coat or beautiful pair of shoes . I am addicted to buying shoes and coats for myself! I seem to meet everyone I know when I am out walking and think to myself "Oh look at the set of me but if you throw a fab coat over your leggings no-one needs to know " 

    Who would you most like to dress?

    Oh I would love to style Megan Markle and steer her back to her more polished ways.

    What's the most exciting thing about fashion for you?

    I love the people that I work with within the industry. Fashion seems to draw such a hard working, passionate type of individual and it's a pleasure to be surrounded by that company on a daily basis. I also can't resist clothes and delivering that excitement to my clients is a constant source of satisfaction for me!

  • Michelle Curtin

    Head of Personal Shopping, Womenswear, Brown Thomas Dublin
  • Tell us about your Personal Shopping role and how it has changed over the years?

    Recent events have brought about huge innovation in terms of how we have brought the Brown Thomas experience into our clients homes. I have always appreciated that relationships were at the heart and centre of our work but this shared experience has brought a new meaningfulness to our roles. It has been a privilege to bring the joy of fashion to people through the medium of virtual appointments, phone calls and WhatsApp at a time when moments of excitement and fun have been limited. I also relished face to face appointments at the various times when our doors were open.

    What does style mean to you?

    For me style is deeply personal, essentially it's about wearing something that excites you whether that be a look that is classical or on trend. Whatever your style,  the most important principle is to think in complete outfits and ensure that the item that you adore is complimented by whatever else you are wearing it with.

    Tell us more about your Virtual Shopping service and what a customer might expect from it?

    Our virtual shopping experience is preceded, much like an instore appointment, with a list of questions that inform how we prepare the personal shopping room ahead of what you are shopping for and we then talk you through our selection via a Zoom or Facetime call, whatever is your preference. We offer advice about styling the items and also pay close attention to size and fit. We then help you make a selection of what you would like to purchase and send those item('s) directly to your door.

    What do you think are great wardrobe investments?

    A coat that suits your body and lifestyle, a pair of flat boots that work equally with dresses and leggings and a leather jacket that can be casual or dressy. Three items that are always lurking within every autumn winter or spring summer collections and are never too on trend to date.

    Who would you most like to dress?

    Julia Reston Rothfield who has a gorgeous style and a real talent for creating subtly sexy looks, Michelle Obama who has become so fashion adventurous since leaving the White House and any Kardashian for the chats alone!

    What's the most exciting thing about fashion for you.

    That it is constantly evolving and that each season brings with it new codes to interpret as you please. I am also really enjoying the push toward creating a more sustainable wardrobe for clients through choosing brands for them that are part of our sustainable edit or simply revisiting older purchases with them than can compliment a new season piece.

  • Jeff Thompson

    Personal Shopper, Menswear, Brown Thomas Dublin
  • Tell us about your Personal Shopping role and how it has changed over the years? 

    Personal Shopping has changed so much as many of our clients’ work dress code is much more relaxed now, with more emphasis than ever on smart casual and stylish loungewear, which have become the “new normal”. We’ve had to reinvent how to create a luxurious, enjoyable and personalised way to assist our customers’ needs. In effect, we’re spending much more time on virtual appointments, Zoom calls, downloading sending images and videos to highlight appropriate looks for all our customers’ requirements. 

    What does style mean to you?

    Style is very personal, and should always be relevant and appropriate. I genuinely believe everyone actually has their very own individual sense of style and my aim as a stylist and personal shopper is to help them create their own “signature style”. It’s important to constantly be adding “on trend” pieces to your existing wardrobe to keep your look updated and fresh, but a cleverly thought out capsule wardrobe of classic essentials is key. As Yves Saint Laurent famously said, “fashions fade, but style is eternal!”.

    Tell us more about your Virtual Shopping service and what a customer might expect from it?

    Our Virtual Shopping experience is quite simply fabulous. We cover absolutely every aspect of an “in person” appointment using whichever social medium platform our customers prefer: personal phone calls, Zoom calls, videos, photos showing looks...the options are endless. It’s a highly enjoyable, time efficient and fun way to showcase our beautiful collections in a highly professional, up to date and unique way. 

    What do you think are great wardrobe investments?

    Wardrobe investments obviously vary, depending on a person’s lifestyle. Zoom calls have become a daily requirement, so this should certainly be addressed. You can’t go wrong with a crisp white blouse or shirt. Jeans are also more important than ever. The likes of JBrand and Citizens of Humanity would be my favorites. I can never stress the importance of a trench coat, the Burberry collection is a perfect choice. I would certainly spend a lot of time creating an “essential wardrobe” for each individual.

    Who would you most like to dress? 

    I happen to absolutely love the inventive aspect of my “job”. As I say, I specialise in creating individual or “signature” looks and have been extremely fortunate to have styled and assisted a host of celebrities for occasions and TV appearances.

    Who would I like to style? Good question. To be honest, absolutely anyone and everyone who would like my assistance in creating the perfect outfit or look for any occasion. With regards to celebrities, far too many to mention here. Ruth Negga would be fun, Dualipa or the eclectic Billy Eilish. One of my favourites, the super stylish Jeff Goldblum. From the Irish music world, Ryan Hennessy (Picture This) and Conor O’Donoghoe (Wild Youth) are the ones to watch! But I’m certainly looking forward to working with many more in the future...

    What's the most exciting thing about fashion for you?

    Fashion is all about positivity for me. I simply love the artistic design, aesthetics and creativity. Fashion has always been a highly visual representation of society thorough the ages. Who doesn’t recognise the iconic 60’s, 70’s or 80’s through the makeup, hairstyles and above all the clothes! Essentially it gives you the opportunity to express yourself and helps you either fit in or stand out in your very own individual way. 

    “Being well dressed is simply a form of good manners” Tom Ford

  • Carl Shaaban

    Personal Shopper, Menswear, Brown Thomas Dublin
  • Tell us about your Personal Shopping role and how it has changed over the years? 

    The times have changed and personal shopping is taking on a greater role in making the client shop in comfort without any external noise or distractions. I adore meeting new clients and together discovering what works by creating a style that fits them and their personality. While also giving them the confidence to believe and feel great in what they are wearing - 'Owning it'! I also like to bring my clients the unattainable, those things that might just be considered rare or hard to find. 

    WWhat does style mean to you? 

    I've always lived my style philosophy by one quote which is: “It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.” G.H.Hardy.  Why should we all dress the same - its good to take those little risks and accept different is cool.

    Tell us more about your Virtual Shopping service and what a customer might expect from it? 

    Giving you the ability to enjoy that Brown Thomas feeling from the comfort of your home. Together we will create a tailor made experience that makes you feel your best, while showcasing the newest looks and suggestions.

    What do you think are great wardrobe investments? 

    Black leather jacket, good denims and chelsea boots.

    Who would you most like to dress? 

    Jeff Goldblum, Rami Malek.

    What’s the most exciting thing about fashion for you?

    The movement towards sustainable fashion and the pace at which things change.

    Going from a one to one bases with my customers has changed, and I have had to adapt my roll to  clearly demonstrate by video the same professional service and experience they expect from the experience 

    What does style mean to you?

    Style for me is someone who has a true sense of self, dressing in a way that works for them and is recognisable.

    Tell us more about your Virtual Shopping service and what a customer might expect from it? 

    My customers expect from me an honest approach to their shopping requirements. 
    To take the time to get to know them, and their lifestyle whilst guiding and directing them  through their shopping. 
    They expect from me the same professional experience with virtual shopping as they get from me on one-to-one in the store.
    Fashion for me is the journey of excitement from season to season. The experience of the new fabrics, how they feel, the shapes, the colours.  Its the sense of moving forward in a new direct. 

    What do you think are great wardrobe investments?

    The best investment for any  wardrobe in my opinion  are, the purchase of a good coat with classic lines and colour. A well cut black dress suitable for all occasions, a blazer that can be worn with jeans or smart trousers, a cashmere sweater in neutral colours plus the best bag and shoes you can afford.

    Who would you most like to dress? 

    The person I would most like to dress is Margot Robbie, I adore her style on and off the red carpet. She doesn’t have one specific style, and I love that, pure class with Chanel then very street style with Bottega Veneta.

  • What’s the best thing about your job?

    Hands down connecting with my clients, I thrive on building trust, friendship & joy to my clients. When a client leaves our store feeling empowered this truly gives me satisfaction! I really enjoy 1-1 consultations seeking the perfect wardrobe staples, my clients love our ‘Brought to you service’ which allows you to shop almost everything from the world of Brown Thomas in Galway.

    What is your style philosophy?

    As Miuccia Prada once said “What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language." Express yourself not just through your personality but also how you present yourself through dress, and both combined will allow for a successful outcome. Ensure your next investment piece is as versatile as it is precious. Pieces such as a transitional jacket that can take you all year round, shoes that can be paired with any outfit to complete it and a timeless handbag to accessorise.

    What is in your wardrobe?

    My wardrobe consists of quality staples and seasonal statements. My go to for Spring / Summer is my lightweight reversible Max Mara jacket, Mulberry Lily bag in blue for a pop of colour and Luisa Cerano beige cropped trousers - versatility at its best!

    Who would you like to dress?

    I would love to dress Kate Middleton, she executes each look in such an elegant manner! She opts for structure and impeccable tailoring, I can envision her in a LK Bennett dress with a light Hobbs coat, KG heels and a Mulberry bag to complete the overall look!

    What are the must haves for a timeless wardrobe?

    I always say to my clients every wardrobe must consist of a well-tailored transitional coat, a classic silhouette handbag and a great pair of shoes. In my own wardrobe my current go to’s are Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Balenciaga and not forgetting MaxMara, an everlasting favourite.
