✨ One evening. Countless conversations. Endless inspiration.

Fashion After Dark brought Melbourne’s fashion community together, celebrating the designers, boutiques and creative talent that make High Street Armadale one of Australia’s most iconic shopping destinations.

This reel is just a glimpse of what Shelley and I discovered.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be taking you behind the scenes, introducing you to some of the incredible designers and boutique owners we met, sharing my styling insights, and showing you why shopping local is one of the smartest investments you can make in your wardrobe.

Which boutique are you most excited to see first?

A huge thank you to High Street Armadale and the City of Stonnington for such a fabulous evening.

Stay Stylish 🦩

šŸ† LOST FOR WORDS šŸ† What a crescendo to end 2024. Words can’t articulate how incredibly grateful I am to the @australianstyleinstitute for awarding me ā€˜Graduate of the Year’ for 2024! I honestly can’t articulate how humbled I am to receive this and can’t believe I have been awarded such a prestigious accolade. 

I have spent this last week reflecting and embracing a level of happiness I honestly don’t believe I have ever felt before, this definitely is the highlight of my career. I have spent hours going through all the photos I took from ASI, after the announcement are a few moments from my first day, meeting my idol at the time who not only also became a mentor, but dear friend Emelia. The ASI community is like no other, they are my fashion tribe. 
It has been an incredible ride since commencing my studies in January 2021. I have lived and breathed the mantra ā€œSay yes and figure out how!ā€. I haven’t stopped.... 

This year alone seems like a decade!

✨ 31 shoots

✨ Globally published for my editorial work around the globe

✨ Launching TITO TV and TITO TOURS

✨ Moving into Personal and Corporate Branding 

✨ Styled over 500+ clients and a strong portfolio of celebrities

✨ Interviewed over 40 people for M/FW 

✨ Worked on Runways

✨ Was interviewed for various TV shows which have aired on numerous platforms around the world 

✨ Styled a finalist for Miss Global Australia

✨ Was a Judget for Top Model Australia

But the real highlight has been winning this and being acknowledged by my peers, what a way to end 2024. A heartfelt thank you to Lauren and Claire, all who have supported me on this journey, and those who took a moment out of their busy day to nominate me. I am living my dream x

🦩 SHOWCASING TITO STYLE 🦩 It’s not often in my busy life as a Fashion Stylist, that I have a moment to stop and celebrate all I have achieved since launching TITO STYLE. Here is a snippet of some of the fabulous editorial shoots where I have been the stylist and on many occasions, also the Creative Director. 

It has been an absolute honour, and privilege, to work with so many talented creatives here in Australia and so many bespoke and exclusive national and global brands. Many of these shoots and campaigns have been globally published. A full list of credits for each image is located below! 

I can’t wait to continue working with each individual and brand again over the coming year’s. 

THANK YOU TO ALL 🩷 for believing in me and my vision 🩷

Fashion may be my love language, but community is my heart. From the moment I stepped into the world of the Australian Style Institute (ASI), I knew I had found something far greater than just an education - I found a family. The journey of building TITO STYLE has been shaped by the unwavering support, wisdom, and encouragement of this powerhouse collective. Every stitch of confidence, every bold step in my career has been fueled by the extraordinary mentorship of Lauren Di Bartolo, the visionary founder, and Claire ​Jensen, the phenomenal National Training Manager. Their belief in me from day one has been nothing short of life-changing.

ASI is more than an institute - it’s a movement. A force that empowers stylists not just to dress people, but to transform lives. Through their expert training and unparalleled industry connections, I have had the privilege of creating, curating, and crafting moments that extend beyond the wardrobe. They taught me that styling isn’t about clothes; it’s about confidence, identity, and making a statement without saying a word. TITO STYLE was built on this very ethos, and every time I step onto a set, backstage at a runway, or in front of a client, I carry their teachings with me.

To Lauren, to Claire, to the entire ASI family - thank you. Your belief in me has been the spark behind my wildest dreams, and I will be forever grateful. This video is a love letter to the journey, transformation, and future. To anyone who has ever wondered if they should take the leap, this is your sign. Because when you surround yourself with people who lift you higher, the sky is only the beginning. ✨ 

Watch the full story and tell me in the comments: What’s the boldest leap you’ve ever taken in your career? ā¬‡ļø

Last night was full of special moments. ✨

It was so lovely to meet you, @titostyle_ — I absolutely love your style! šŸ˜

Thank you to my sister @rashidi.sarah, my beautiful daughter Aaliyah, my wonderful friend @inspireher_learning , who has supported me every day since I started this, and my lovely and supportive sister-in-law, Roslyn @silkroad.extensions 

And my baby girl was apparently really proud of ME! 😁
At least I didn’t embarrass her the way I sometimes do in front of her school friends! 😜

Truly, fashion really does unite us. I couldn’t believe how many phones were out filming me and how many people were clapping and cheering. It was such an incredible feeling. 🌸

A little colour, a little champagne, and a very welcome return to the fashion scene. 🦩

After a challenging few months with my health, Justin Tong’s private launch of The Nectar Realm felt like a particularly lovely occasion to step back into the room. It was a joy to reconnect with friends and be surrounded by people who love fashion as much as I do.

And the collection? A feast for the eyes. Vibrant florals, striking black and white, sculpted shapes and flowing gowns offer plenty of possibilities for the event season ahead. I definitely have my top picks, and I’m excited to wear a few pieces over the coming months and share them with you.

The champagne flowed, even the bespoke canapés carried the JT name, and every corner held another detail to admire. A huge congratulations to Justin and his team on such a beautiful launch. It was wonderful to be back. ✨

Also, a huge congratulations to Wendy on your incredible creations, to compliment each look, and to Emma for your incredible custom fashion illustrations of many of us. What a way to kick off a busy event season for us all! Good luck, and see you at the finish line!

For years, Melbourne Fashion Festival meant working behind the scenes. This year, it meant experiencing every runway from the other side, including a rather fabulous box seat for Glam Up Runway. 

Moments before the show, dressed in this glorious emerald Mackenzie Mode creation, a reminder of why Australian fashion remains at the heart of my work. Bold colour, sculptural detail and just enough drama to make an entrance without requiring its own security detail.

As a stylist, I’ve always believed the right outfit should do more than look beautiful. It should communicate who you are before you say a word.

What does your wardrobe say about you?

Fashion After Dark, Episode 01.

Bared's flagship boutique on High Street Armadale is where I bring clients when they tell me they're done choosing between comfort and style. Spoiler: you were never meant to choose.

Here's what most people get wrong about shoe shopping. They fall for the photo, not the fit. A shoe has to earn its place in your wardrobe, and that means it has to work as hard as you do. All day. On your feet. In real life.

This leopard loafer does exactly that. Iconic Aussie design, genuine all-day comfort, and enough personality to do the styling for you.

So tell me: what's your one non-negotiable when you buy shoes? Drop it below, I read every one.

A truly unforgettable evening celebrating 70 years of @operaaustralia šŸŽ¼

Worn for the gala: this extraordinary couture piece by @justintong.official , featuring over 700 hours of intricate hand beading and artisan craftsmanship - with only one remaining in Australia!

From the celestial embellishments to the shimmering detail woven throughout the gown, every element felt like wearable theatre. And in a very important couture clarification… my ā€œbutterfly dressā€ is, in fact, adorned with beautifully embellished moths. A detail I perhaps should have noticed somewhere between champagne and Puccini. šŸŽ¼

It was such an honour to attend this remarkable evening celebrating Australian arts, performance and creativity alongside the incredible @orchestravictoria and the wider Opera Australia community.

Thank you again to Crystal for the very kind invitation, and to Justin Tong for entrusting me with such a special piece to showcase.

Some garments don’t simply make a statement - they tell a story.

The most luxurious part of hiring a stylist isn’t the clothes.

It’s the time you get back.

Most people only see the hour we spend together in-store. What they don’t see is everything that happens beforehand.

Every special occasion begins with a detailed style consultation, where we discuss the event, dress code, your personal style, body shape, budget and the impression you want to make.

From there, I spend hours researching collections, liaising with designers and boutiques, shortlisting options, checking sizing and curating a personalised selection before you even arrive.

Instead of spending days searching from boutique to boutique, you simply walk in and try on the very best options, already selected for you.

For Shelley’s formal evening at the Regent Theatre, as a guest of Orchestra Australia, we sourced her complete look in under an hour. The final result was a bespoke Justin Tong gown, paired with accessories from Stephanie Browne, creating a look that felt elegant, effortless and unmistakably her

Because great style isn’t about having more options.

It’s about having the right ones.

If you have a wedding, gala, awards night or special event coming up, tell me about it in the comments. I’d love to know what you’re dressing for.

✨ THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAILS ✨

One of the biggest styling mistakes I see women make is focusing solely on the outfit and forgetting the accessories.

The right accessory doesn’t just complete a look - it elevates it.

For Opera Australia’s 70th Anniversary Gala, I paired my gown with the stunning Marigold Earrings by @stephaniebrowneau . Their handcrafted detail, elegance and timeless design perfectly complemented the look without competing with it.

As a Fashion & Celebrity Stylist, I’m constantly reminding clients that accessories are often the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe. They can transform a simple outfit, add personality and create a polished, intentional finish.

My question for you:

Do you invest more in your clothing or your accessories?

Let me know below. šŸ‘‡

Buy smarter this winter.

One of the biggest styling mistakes I see isn’t buying the wrong pieces.

It’s buying too many pieces.

Instead of filling your wardrobe with ā€œgood enoughā€ purchases, focus on investing in fewer, better-quality pieces that work together.

When every item earns its place, getting dressed becomes effortless and your wardrobe starts working for you, not against you.

The goal isn’t to own more.

It’s to own better.

What’s one purchase you’ve made that you wear every winter?
