Fashion Career Coaching
When you're ready for the next step in your fashion career
The fashion industry rewards ambition, but as your career or business grows, the next step isn't always as straightforward as it once was.
You may be working towards career progression or a promotion and know exactly what you want, but feel unsure about how to get there. Or you may know you're ready for something more, but need the space to work out what that actually looks like.
Many of the people I work with are experienced, capable and ambitious, but have reached a point where moving forward requires something different:
stepping into a more senior role and having the confidence to operate at that level
turning an idea or side business into something commercially viable
scaling an established business without everything continuing to depend on you
getting out of the day-to-day enough to focus on the work that will actually move you forward
navigating a career change or transition, or working out what you really want from your next chapter rather than automatically pursuing the next title or opportunity
finding a way to grow that feels ambitious and sustainable

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've experienced many of the things my clients bring to coaching: progressing into bigger roles, managing and developing teams, navigating the pace and politics of the industry, questioning what I wanted next, and eventually building a business of my own.
In 2024, I was made redundant. It forced me to stop and properly consider what I actually wanted from the next stage of my career and life, rather than automatically continuing along the path I'd been on.
After qualifying as an ILM Level 7 Executive Coach and becoming an EMCC Senior Practitioner, I began coaching across the fashion industry, from senior leaders progressing within established businesses to founders and creatives building their own.
Today, I combine accredited executive coaching with 15+ years of experience working and leading in fashion, giving my clients a confidential space to step back, think differently and turn what they want into focused action.
