It costs 40 thousand to find someone to pack a bag for the holiday ! The life of the rich is hard to understand. ...

Baby, the summer in Paris is really coming. Sun, watermelon, straw hat, floral skirt ... this short but charming summer is really good.

Every now and then, Parisians, not the French, start thinking about one thing: a holiday.

Whether it's swimming on the island, going to a mountain village for the summer, or driving a family to a resort for a week, in short, only going surfing is the most basic respect for summer.

Of course, you have to pack your bags when you go out, and packing is complicated and annoying, so a profession came into being-holiday stylist.

Specially put on your holiday suitcase to make you the most beautiful mushroom in the whole beach.

Milda Chellingsworth is a leader in this industry.

In short, her job is to provide an ideal holiday wardrobe for women with high pressure and tight time, accompany shopping, make plans and pack, but it takes a lot of effort to actually operate.

From beautiful and practical underwear to swimsuits suitable for swimming in the pool or ocean, to dresses, high heels, earrings and sunglasses, Milda wrapped the items selected during the trip with paper towels, and then marked each dress and the time it should be worn during the trip in detail:

A specific restaurant (she checked the environment in advance), a beach with children, or a luxurious cocktail party (she will determine the list of possible guests) ...

Milda's clients are usually fashionable women and executives in the legal, financial or technical fields. Their goal is to make themselves lovely and charming during the holidays.

Of course, the trips of these customers must be of high quality. Their holiday destinations range from Italian, Greek, Spanish and Cote d 'Azur to Dubai, the United States, Indian and China, and their holidays will not be purely fun. It is normal to have a few business receptions occasionally.

There are too many factors to consider in choosing clothes for these guests, but for Milda, who has been a stylist for 15 years, these are not things:

I know their closet like the back of my hand. They or their personal assistants will provide me with a complete holiday itinerary, including the people I met, the activities I participated in, the restaurants I booked, and the importance of each activity to them. This scheme can help me customize their wardrobe accurately.

For example, a couple took part in a weekend ladder climbing activity inspired by The Great Gatsby on a yacht, so I designed 1920s style swimsuits, household clothes, headdresses and evening dresses for them.

You think that's all?

If you want to dress and not roll over, you have to consider the weather, local culture and so on. Milda must also keep a list and photos of all customers' clothes, and be able to keep calm in the face of unexpected situations and re-match clothes for any new occasion they add at any time.

Milda gave several chestnuts:

Some of my clients' international holidays include lunch with royalty or the president. Once, a lady called me the night before going to the United States for a holiday and told me that she would go to the White House for lunch tomorrow. I recommended her an existing suit and a pair of Racil's fashionable pants.

Another time, a lady hired me to pack a bag for her European leisure beach trip, but she called me on the day she took off and said that she had changed her plan and had just arrived in Dubai and had no clothes to wear! I had to call my contacts in Gucci and YSL, United Arab Emirates, pick out the right clothes and send them to her hotel by express delivery.

Seeing this, we should understand that the purpose of finding a holiday stylist is not to reduce the weight of luggage. On the contrary, rich people take seven or eight suitcases during a week's holiday.

Milda said:

My clients will definitely not wear the same shawl for breakfast and dinner, and I won't allow them to do so! Some people need three or four sets of clothes every day to meet their plans for breakfast, daytime activities, lunch and evening.

With such high requirements, how much can you earn in this line of work?

Take Milda as the benchmark. Her service fee is ￡ 0/50 per hour/kloc, and her customers spend up to ￡ 5,000 (about RMB 4 1.258) on packaging service!

At that time, Milda was shopping and packing holiday clothes for a family of five. She carefully coordinated everyone's clothes, for example, mother and daughter's white Madeira dress, and father and son matched denim shorts and polo shirts, which took her three whole days.

Hayley Korn is another holiday stylist who charges 100 per hour. Her clients are basically mothers and women entrepreneurs who are pressed for time. Apart from the service fee, they will spend an average of 65,438+0,000 to 65,438+05,000 on holiday clothes (excluding jewelry).

In other words, Haley not only helps the rich pack their bags, but also goes shopping with them to sweep the goods:

Well, a client hired me to go to Seville to pack for a wedding, including dinner, cocktail party and family brunch the next day. We went to Harrods Department Store and spent more than 8000 pounds on clothes and accessories.

Recently, I took another client to Searle Foric Department Store, where we selected some fascinating items for a holiday in the south of France, including a Versace swimsuit worth 450 pounds and a zimmermann bikini and matching dress worth about 65,438+0,000 pounds.

In fact, for some female clients, hiring a stylist is a way to avoid family quarrels and embarrassment:

I often match clothes for the whole family, especially when parents don't approve of their children's dressing style. I once did this for a couple who took their teenage daughter on a trip to Maldives, because my client is a mother who wants them to dress appropriately while maintaining the elements of the existing style.

Another lady spent a week's holiday in Las Vegas. She wanted a beautiful evening dress and bathing suit. I also bought her underwear, shoes and hats and tidied her clothes every day.

For 45-year-old stylist Oriona Robb, it is not difficult to build a holiday wardrobe.

She charges 150 an hour. As long as the customer promises to have a budget of at least 2000 pounds to update the wardrobe, she can buy and pack a standard holiday wardrobe within three hours.

Why so soon?

Because she has a rule: 75% neutral color +25% splash color = perfect.

In Oriona's words:

Although a suit may be neutral, a bright cashmere sweater, bag, shoes and even lipstick can make it look brand-new.

Anyway, although it sounds incredible to spend thousands of pounds on packing, the world of rich people has never been easy to understand, has it?
