Style in the City- Networking for Trendsetters
On Sunday, February 8th the Style in the City Mixer returns to Fort Lauderdale as one of the most fashionable nights in South Florida. This popular and upscale networking event gathers fashion lovers and socialites under one roof for a sophisticated mixer.
BOSSY! was very lucky to catch up with busy CEO of the The Styling Firm and creator of Style in the City, Taj McGill , to chat about this fantastic event.
BOSSY!- What is Style in the City?
Style in the City is a networking event for entrepreneurs, business savvy and fashionable individuals to come together, soak up the ambiance and leave inspired and entertained.
BOSSY! - Why Create an Event like Style in the City?
When I first started my company, it was hard to meet like-minded people. I wanted to bring together all the people that I've been able to connect with over the years through various events, bring them together to meet people and form beneficial relationships. People were wondering where are the designers and who are the editors? I have brought those people together. I know everyone leaves with at least a few new contacts. But everybody isn't there for business though, they are just there to dress up and have fun!
BOSSY! - I know you are a stylist by trade so tell me a bit about your company?
I started my company The Styling Firm in 2009. That's my first baby! It's a professional styling and image consultation firm. We are a team of fashion stylists, make up artists and hair stylists. We are continuing to build that team and it's the umbrella that Style in the City falls under.
BOSSY! - What inspired you to go into fashion?
It may sound cliche but I feel like I was born into it. It's generational. People would call my mother to style them or shop for them, But for her it was just a hobby. I tried some other things before this. But I knew this was always what I wanted to do. Fashion for me doesn't feel like work.
BOSSY! - Speaking of work, you do a lot! I know you also host your own radio show "Talk is Chic" on www.YoPodner.com. Tell me a bit about that.
"Talk is Chic" also falls under The Styling Firm umbrella. Around the time I started Style in the City I was meeting so many really interesting people. I wanted to talk and find out more about them. I had always had a vision of a talk show or a radio show, Back in 2013 when I started there wasn't a lot of people from this area doing this. So I thought it would be great if I could go on and talk about what's going on in the fashion world, what's going on in the entertainment world, the music world. I talk about beauty and makeup, I think all those coincide with each other. And then I bring some of those people that I'm meeting or would like to meet, that I think other people need to hear from. I have found a new love for the fashion journalism aspect of this industry.
BOSSY! - Where do you see all three Babies of your going?
With The Styling Firm I see us building and growing not only the team, but expanding to different areas and states. I want to be go to for whatever your style needs. As for Talk in Chic I definitely see that growing on radio and perhaps even venturing to television. Of course for Style in the City I would love take it on the road and visit new city's and finding the hidden gems in that particular city.
So all my #bossygirls if you want to mix and mingle with the chic crowd make sure you hurry and go to the Style in the City website and get your tickets now, they are going fast! BOSSY! Magazine will be covering this #BOSSY approved event getting all the behind the scenes scoop. So stay tuned for our coverage. Make sure you listen to Talk is Chic every Tuesday form 7-9pm on YoPodner.com. Keep up with Taj McGill and the Styling Firm on Facebook and follow @TheStylingFirm on Twitter and Instagram.
