Lauren Engelke has been an agency stylist and tailor since 2014. Through her work, Lauren became aware of the excesses of the fashion industry, and in 2018, while on set with a clean beauty brand, she decided that the world was ready for a sustainability-focused fashion stylist. She began to offer styling with secondhand, vintage, and sustainable clothing for both brands and individuals, and never looked back. Lauren has styled individuals all over the world and has spoken on the topic of sustainable fashion in New York and London. She is also the co-host of The Sustainable Style Podcast.
