A Considered Approach to Career Growth in Fashion

The fashion industry rewards ambition.

It's easy to keep chasing the next promotion, opportunity or title without stopping to ask whether the career you've built still fits the person you've become.

Many women reach a point where:

  • their confidence at work has shifted

  • the pressure of the industry no longer feels sustainable

  • they’ve outgrown their current role

  • they want more meaning, creativity or flexibility

  • they’re questioning what success actually looks like for them now

This work creates space to step back, think clearly and move forward intentionally, through honest conversation grounded in both executive coaching practice and real experience inside the fashion industry.

About Pippa

I’ve spent over a decade in the fashion industry, working my way from the shop floor into personal shopping leadership roles at NET-A-PORTER and MATCHES.

I know what it feels like to have the dream job on paper while quietly questioning whether it still fits who you are. I was often second-guessing myself and pushing through the pace and pressure.

In 2024, I was made redundant. It forced me to stop and properly consider what I actually wanted next, rather than continuing on a path that no longer felt right for me.

After qualifying as an ILM Level 7 Executive Coach and becoming an EMCC Senior Practitioner, I built a coaching practice focused on helping women in fashion navigate career clarity, progression and reinvention in a more thoughtful and sustainable way.

Today, I combine executive coaching, fashion industry mentoring and strategic career guidance to help women move forward with more confidence and direction.

Ready to figure out what comes next in your fashion career?

Whether you’re navigating a career transition, feeling stuck in your current role, or simply know you’re ready for more, coaching gives you the space to think clearly, reconnect with what matters to you, and move forward with greater confidence and direction.

Or, if you’re unsure which option is right for you, please get in touch for a confidential chat and we can talk through any questions you may have.
