AICI Mt. States Member Highlight - Tina Gill

I first fell in love with fashion when...

Tina was raised in a small town in Nebraska where she went to garage sales with her mom and big sis every Saturday since she could remember.  She was a trend setter early on being the first to wear jelly shoes and "capri" pants in her grade school (and consequently was made fun of). She knew at a very young age that you didn't have to have a lot of money or a gigantic closet to look great. That remains her belief today...it is not the quantity of clothing but the quality and fit of the clothing that truly matters



Have you been featured in any press/media?

Since launching her business in 2008, Tina has been featured in a variety of local and national media including Out Front Colorado, Reverie Magazine, Denver Life, 5280 Magazine blog, ehow.com, about.com, Couture Colorado, Examiner.com, Fox 31 and The Everyday Show.

Image is important because?

Image is important because it gives you the opportunity to tell everyone who you are and what you want to say before you ever speak one word.


My business focuses on:

worthwhile style works with a variety of individuals who all share one thing in common: they’re in some form of transition. Whether you are a new mom, a bride-to-be, recently celebrated a significant birthday, starting a new job, trying to get a promotion, recently divorced, or just sent the kids off to college, we can help you look and feel your best.  We also work with individuals that simply don’t like to shop or are bored or unhappy with their current wardrobe.


Where were you trained?

Tina was trained and received her certification as an Image Consultant in New York City through the Image Resource Center of NY.  In addition to her training, she is an avid reader of books about style, body types, color, fit, and proportion and of course, fashion magazines.


I started my business because?
Tina launched her business after discovering that so many people don’t love who they are or how they look.  She wants every person to be able to look in the mirror and think, “Damn, I look good.” Armed with her degree in Psychology, her extensive background in customer service, and her love for shopping, Tina shines at helping individuals to look and feel their best.  With her contagious laugh and outgoing personality, Tina’s specialty is empowering individuals to be comfortable with who they are right now in their lives.


What Mountain State do you do business in? Denver CO

What are you currently working on?

In addition to working with private clients, Tina is the Wardrobe Stylist for Wilhelmina Denver where she plays an integral role on the creative team working with new models during the image consults, commercial and fashion shoots.  She is currently represented by Wilhelmina Denver as one of four Wardrobe Stylists in their Artist Division, providing styling services locally and nationally. 

Tina is also and Independent Style Advisor for J. Hilburn, a men’s custom clothier based out of Dallas TX where she works with male clients building their wardrobe one affordable luxury piece at a time.
