Lorna Tavares, a British-born fashion designer, leads Avares Styling, embodying over three decades of industry prowess. Her repertoire spans from designing for esteemed high street brands to crafting bespoke pieces for private clients, and curating tailored shopping experiences for international visitors. Amidst her career highlights including global ventures to fabulous fashion meccas like Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Korea, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, Lorna consistently sets the tone for upcoming trends.
Yet, amidst the glamour, Lorna confronts the troubling rise of fast fashion, recognizing its toll on humanity and the planet, from dwindling fabric quality to exploitative labour practices. In a world ensnared by excess and unsustainable habits, Lorna advocates for a mindful approach to fashion, urging her clients to embrace conscious consumption.
Despite strides, alarming statistics persist: 62 million tons of garments are churned out annually, with much ending up in landfills or forgotten in overstuffed closets. Enter Avares Styling, a beacon of conscious consumption amid the sea of excess. Returning to her roots, Lorna and her team offer a suite of services empowering clients to reassess their wardrobes, from wardrobe cleanse, personalised shopping, fashion sourcing to restyling alteration consultations, clothing swaps, and charitable donations.

For Lorna, style reflects values and purpose. Through Avares Styling, she underscores that fashion is not merely about attire; it’s a statement of values and a call to action for a more conscientious future. In a world where time is precious, Avares Styling extends a guiding hand towards a beautiful, stylish and practical wardrobe.
