TESTIMONIALS
Hear what my clients have to say about their styling experiences with me.
I first saw you on Instagram and then I loved your artistic website with its reference to various art movements and to Europe and I was sold! I went with my gut which has always served me well and you have totally vamped-up my wardrobe for work.

Her philosophy? Not to be like any other stylist that stick to rules. Gessica is all about disrupting your style by shaking it up in the boardroom, the office or just the weekend, without overt OTT. However, Gessica Marmotta is the stylist to hire when you’re ready to shine.

Gessica is an incredibly talented stylist. We started with a wardrobe cull and it was astounding how many pieces of clothing I owned that were black, black and black and literally identical to each other! A whole new modern look was designed especially for me. Thank you Gessica for making me feel like a million dollars, for work, rest and play!

Gessica is an incredibly talented stylist. We started with a wardrobe cull and it was astounding how many pieces of clothing I owned that were black, black and black and literally identical to each other! Also I seemed to gravitate towards items that actually were not entirely flattering. Gessica then took me shopping and found pieces for me that I would never have thought would work but they looked amazing. A whole new modern look was designed especially for me. Thank you Gessica for making me feel like a million dollars, for work, rest and play!

You are very creative and I simply trusted in the process and did not say no to you (despite sometimes thinking it when we were shopping!) and voila! I first saw you on Instagram and then I loved your artistic website with its reference to various art movements and to Europe and I was sold! I went with my gut which has always served me well and you have totally vamped-up my wardrobe for work. Occasionally when I looked in the mirror I thought “Wow, what amazing visual impact” and I have the personality that I can carry it off in company. Looking forward to working with you again. Also I liked very much that you don’t have “arrangements” with vendors so your creativity was not limited by personal financial considerations other than the financial relationship with me as your client. Thus your advice seemed to be based purely on what worked best for me with your exquisite eye for colour and shape that makes inexpensive items look luxe and creates maximum impact. Mum also commented to me that your written communications with me were always nice, polite and professional. You show respect and you deserve respect.

I adore working with Gessica because of her delightful personality and her innate sense of style. She has (gently) pushed me out of my comfort zone and together we have created a wardrobe that suits both my body shape and my personality. I just wish we had met sooner!

I admired Gessica's work for many years before I engaged her to assist with the concepts for the dress designs for my label, then embarked upon the rigorous and incredible transformation process of my own professional style. I wanted to revamp, elevate and shake up my on-stage style, as MC of high profile events across the globe. Gessica starts with the foundations (using my black dresses as a blank canvas), learning who you are (colourful, energetic, extrovert), where the opportunities are (more sophistication, less 'quirk', what the limitations are (for me: no heels please!) then the all important CULL of your existing wardrobe. Then a super fun and carefully curated SHOPPING expedition and the final INTEGRATION session where Gess works with you, bringing your new items together with the existing ones, including accessories and shoes, creating LOOKS and OUTFITS. There are photos and videos captured of each outfit which has been extremely valuable each time I'm packing for a trip. Every time I'm wearing one of the looks we created, I get a comment like 'I love your style', 'You always look fantastic!', 'Is that the same dress, with different accessories?'. I'm over the moon with the results, and I've learned so much to continue the journey and bring the RIGHT things into my wardrobe going forward. HIGHLY recommend!

Gessica is my angel. She was referred to me by a friend whilst I lived in Australia but didn't have a chance to enlist her services due to my extensive travels. It wasn't until I relocated to L.A., that I realised I needed her. My style needed to go to a different level given the industry I am in. I knew who to turn to that had a unique style knowledge I required and came highly recommended. She flew to me and we immediately set about reworking my wardrobe and me. Several charity bags later, two shopping trips and hours of styling, Gessica magically transformed me, knowing exactly what would work on me with my objectives in mind. I absolutely loved everything. Well, a few things frightened me, but I trusted the process and couldn't be happier. The investment to have her come over to me was all worth it both emotionally and financially. I now consult with Gessica via FaceTime and won't purchase anything significant unless she has given me the green light. I just wish she was here. I have referred her to many people and hope she relocates to La La Land!

If you are wanting a step change and refresh in how your wardrobe reflects you then Gessica is your lady. De clutter your style as well as your wardrobe. Your style is your brand and Gess can support you to shift your thinking around it. Cannot recommend her more highly.
Rachel KellyNon-executive director & startup advisor
Gessica is a breath of fresh air and a pillar of knowledge and insight into how to be the best version of yourself. She challenges pre-conceived views on fashion and appearance, and enables you to come out of the process feeling good about yourself, looking good and being your true unique & authentic self….and the whole process is a lot of fun too.
SusanSenior Executive
I have worked with Gessica to learn how to wear those clothes I had (but never wore) and to update both my summer and winter wardrobes. She has also helped me (and my hubbie) to find one-off pieces for special events. On each occasion, working with Gess was fun and valuable.
While I love fashion and clothes, I can’t stand shopping. But, having Gess there to guide me made it painless. Gess knew where to look for my shape, suggested I try new looks (that worked!), introduced me to great brands and encouraged me to experiment with colour. My wardrobe is now filled with different looks and loads of colour – which just makes me happy whenever I put them on. Gess has also shown me how to wear accessories, a part of my wardrobe much neglected before, and now front and centre.
I love having Gess available at the end of the phone to give me her 2 cents worth before I buy, it means I avoid buying things that don’t get worn.

Have always struggled with dressing for work and enviously looked at some women and wondered how they put together their outfits in the morning. I read about Style by Gessica in an AFR review a few years ago and from the first moment I made contact I knew I had made an excellent career move. Gessica was prompt in response and as part of background research really tries to understand what you want to get out of the process and what boundaries you may have. I have seen her twice now for a summer and winter wardrobe revamp and they have been long but very rewarding days. My wardrobe has been culled significantly and it was extremely cathartic (not to mention eye opening when I realized that I only used 20% of what I owned). As a result I wear the smaller section of clothes more frequently and I am genuinely much happier. And not to mention that I have now saved a whole lot of storage space and I am not daunted with a wardrobe to big to handle when I wake up in the morning. The number of compliments I have received at work has been staggering. People know look at me as a “fashion icon” which is ironic given what a terrible dresser I was previously. And for those who are worried about cost, when I did the maths, Gessica SAVED me money in the 18 months I have been using her amazing services. I am so happy with my wardrobe that I no longer just randomly buy clothes I don’t need, won’t look good on me or which doesn’t complement my existing collection. I would highly recommend Gessica in a heart beat to anyone who wants to revamp their wardrobe and feel more confident at work – you won’t regret it!
Christine AllenSenior Associate Mercer Consulting
Gessica conducted a styling workshop at our office that inspired us all to make more effort with our presentation in the workplace. Those who attended were talking about the session afterwards and the following day the standard of dress had noticeably improved. Gessica is clearly passionate about styling and making people feel good about themselves, is creative, professional and understands what is needed in a corporate environment. I would highly recommend a corporate styling workshop with Gessica.

‘I consulted Gessica after an article in the Australian Financial Review on her work because I realised I had a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear. Gessica quickly edited out pieces that did not suit me and queried my lifestyle and personal style before pulling together outfits. She gave me guidelines as to what styles/colours suited for shopping. I was amazed with the combinations she put together from my existing wardrobe. I feel better equipped to handle the dress code for events and most importantly, I feel confident in her outfits. My wardrobe reflects my personality, not hers. The money I have invested has saved me from spending on unsuitable purchases and also saved me a lot of time, I shop and do a wardrobe review with her each season. She’s my secret weapon … and I recommend her to you without hesitation.’
Anne Davis
Last year, for the first time after having kids, I was lucky enough to be able to spend some time and money on me. One of the most fabulous things I did for myself and for my business was to engage Gessica to work with my style. I came to Gessica after a life-long history of jeans/shorts + t-shirt wearing, hair tied tightly back, and a workplace strategy of dressing myself down in order to avoid looking like a ‘female’ and calling attention to myself in a male-dominated industry. Working with Gessica has been empowering. And not only in the sense of being finally able to answer the ‘what am I going to wear today’ question. Gessica’s main interest is in helping the you you shine through. Just get ready to answer a lot of questions from family and friends about your new-found style and confidence!
Theresa TurnerElectrical Engineer and Business Manager
The opportunity to dress more pointedly actually found me. Under no circumstance did I think I needed it, especially since I recently had a rather thorough wardrobe edit with a chic and on-trend fashion consultant only a few weeks prior. Yet when I befriend a client of Australia-wide stylist Gessica Marmotta, and thumb through her digital new outfit library, I knew I had the option to delve even deeper into my wardrobe and see what it delivered back under Marmotta’s watchful eye. Her philosophy? Not to be like any other stylist that stick to rules. Gessica is all about disrupting your style by shaking it up in the boardroom, the office or just the weekend, without overt OTT. However, Gessica Marmotta is the stylist to hire when you’re ready to shine. To make a statement and proclaim boldly, here I am.
Alina BerdichevskyCognitive Coach
When I returned to work after maternity leave a lot of my work clothes didn’t fit and I didn’t feel comfortable in my clothes. I was at the point of needing to buy new outfits when I attended an event where Gessica was speaking. I knew straight away I needed Gessica’s help to transform my wardrobe. Gessica worked to my budget and helped me understand what suits my new body shape. Now I have fabulous clothes and accessories that I feel confident in and I have received lots of positive comments. I cannot thank Gessica enough and highly recommend her.
Michelle KerleParaplanner
I just wanted to thank you again for the workshop that you presented to our team about corporate wear. The ladies really enjoyed your presentation and advice, and have found that they have been able to incorporate this into their day to day choices for work wear. The information about body shapes was something new to most of us and very insightful. It’s great to see both a fresh enthusiasm throughout the team for personal presentation, and the confidence to look professional.
J MorganOperations Manager, Frank Gordon & Co, Melbourne
I had so much fun working with Gessica! First of all we started of with a complete declutter and overhaul of my wardrobe and magically from the sad and dismal space, Gessica made outfits appear! Then after a whirlwind of shopping trips and styling sessions a new me emerged. I no longer dread trying to work out what I'm going to wear for the day as I've learnt so much about what suits me, how to wear it and how to accessorise. I can dress with confidence and certainty knowing that I look good under the watchful eye and reassurance of Gessica. I would highly recommend Gess. Her creativity, passion and care are next to none. Thanks so much Gessica!
Juanita BartonHypnotherapist
I would recommend personalised style sessions with Gessica to anyone who wants a new wardrobe, regardless of age, occupation, budget or any other factor.
Gessica is friendly, knowledgeable, happy, and, above all, incredibly helpful person.
I have had several styling and shopping adventures with her for both summer and winter wardrobes.
I walked away with a number of clothes I would never have found had I been shopping unassisted.
Gessica really knows and enjoys her work. She has a great and a quick ‘eye’, and she helped me to see my shape and my wardrobe options in a very different light.
I am now much more confident when shopping alone and I have the confidence to experiment and ‘play’ with my style, which is a lot of fun! I have had so many compliments as well. She truly has transformed me, I feel like a new woman!!
It is a service which is accessible and incredibly transformative for your average person who knows nothing about what to wear!
No-one should feel that 'this is not for people like me’ . Trust me, you will not be made to feel small in any way!
Financially, also, I consider my sessions an absolute investment. It has saved me time and hassle, and has completely removed the ‘What shall I wear?’ and ‘Does this go with that?’ questions from my daily life.
A wonderful service that I can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Gessica, you are a godsend!
Shelly CaseyBusiness Owner
Somehow I got to my forties without ever knowing how to shop for my shape. After three sessions with Gess, my world has changed. Not only do I have an amazing wardrobe, but I feel confident, and sexy, and love showing off my curves. Best of all, I know how to shop for myself, and no longer waste money on clothes that don’t suit me! Thanks Gess.
Shunanda ScottBusiness Owner
I met Gessica at an AFA Inspire event (a forum for female financial advisers). I was very impressed with Gessica's presentation, however I wasn’t sure if it was for me...until my girlfriend hired her and I saw a transformation occur before my eyes.
Once I decided to invest in myself (justifying the expense as part of my personal brand as I am building my business) I never looked back. The experience was cathartic to begin with.... I saw dresses and shoes I had not worn in years and in some cases parted with them and in other cases they were bought back to life. The experience really begun when I looked through my wardrobe - 1/2 of what it was when we started - I was terrified I had no clothes.... Gessica then turned what was left of my wardrobe into multiple outfits.
The best part of that first session was she dressed me for a work Christmas dinner that evening - reluctant to attend this event prior - all of a sudden I felt confident, sassy and sexy... as Gessica was leaving she said to me "if you don’t get a kiss or a date out of this outfit I will be surprised... That night I met my husband.
Since my wardrobe makeover I have hired Gessica for shopping trips and style sessions. I love the fact that I never have to think about what to wear as I have a catalogue of styles she has put together for my wardrobe. She has the ability to let your personality shine through the outfits she creates - also she extends the value of each piece of clothing by showing you multiple ways of wearing one item. I don’t find myself impulsively buying clothes anymore (that I may never even wear) so I see the entire process as saving in the long run.
Oh and another thing - Gessica also helped me find my wedding dress - I don’t think I would have been able to find the perfect dress in 4 hours without her. She saved me so much time and energy.
Getting Gessica in to Style my wardrobe was life changing and I highly recommend anyone considering investing in themselves to hire Gessica you won't regret it.
Amie BakerDirector Financial Advisor,Avanti Advisors Manager
Gessica has helped me with both my summer and winter wardrobes, casual and corporate. She has introduced a number of creative ideas which have added a fun element into my corporate wardrobe, which is still professional but I now confidently wear elements which take it to a more elegant level.
I have also enjoyed my shopping trips with Gessica, which have focused on weekend wear. With just several additional acquisitions my weekend wardrobe has been transformed to fun, comfortable, hip and sexy and it didn't cost the earth. It also saved me a lot of time.
I would recommend Gessica to anyone who is looking for a stylist to help you look at your wardrobe with a fresh set of eyes.
Gessica is professional and easy to work with. To make the most of your sessions, come with an open mind as some of your habits may be challenged - but that's part of the fun!
Marina KSenior Executive MLC
I recall always enjoying style and clothing growing up (the 80s and 90s was such a fun time for clothing and experimenting) however as the decades went on and priorities changed (career, family, children....life) I just fell into a style rut where what I had was minimal and "good enough" and I could just make do with what I had.....which wasn't much.
I gave little thought to my dress sense for work (despite being front facing and very visible in my role with multiple stakeholders) as I would wake each morning and go into auto pilot - it would be the same white business shirt everyday and the only choice I had to make was what suit did I wear yesterday so not to wear it again and what tie was I up to in the weekly "rotation" - how boring.
My dress sense out of work was very basic and extremely casual with little imagination and was quite plain and dull - I recall going to social events feeling my dress was underwhelming and at times I felt I had nothing suitable to wear even if I did want to take it up a notch. I had lost my pride in appearance.
I reached a point where I needed a change and needed some help - to not fall back into the same old clothing choices and reinvest back into myself - so I enlisted Gessica's services and what a difference it has made.
I now have fun with my style, take far more risk and have an array of clothing items and style choices for all occasions (I didn't have choices before) that suit my age, my profession, social environments and settings and most importantly my sense of individuality.
What's fascinating has been the boost in my confidence, the positive impact of connecting back with my pride in appearance, the freedom of choice and the ability to dress for the occasion.
James EDirector
I came to Sydney with my son for Pride week, he’s only just come out as trans, so we needed to get him a whole new male wardrobe. Gessica was very open, welcoming and had some great tips, shops and suggestions. I would definitely recommend Gessica for trans people who want to boost their confidence and build a wardrobe, and even for straight guys like me!
