We’re looking forward to introducing you to Sara Acevedo. Check out our conversation below.
Sara, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’m leaning more into personal styling now and making it a priority. Before, I worried it might not serve my career or that it would feel less authentic creatively. But I’ve discovered there’s actually a lot more truth in it—more opportunity to connect with people in a universal way.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Sara Acevedo, a wardrobe stylist working in the celebrity and commercial space, and lately I’ve been focusing more on private styling as well. What sets my work apart is my attention to the nuance of identity—understanding each person’s style or brand in a way that feels authentic. I also bring a marketing mindset to the process, figuring out how best to communicate that identity. It’s really a balance between who or what the brand is and the environment they need to exist in.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
Honestly, it wasn’t just one person. I’ve had a lot of jobs across different fields, and each experience—working with different people, navigating different demands, and seeing various ways of doing things—taught me something valuable. All of it together helped me feel well-rounded and prepared for the work I do now.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
Being aligned with clients and their values is crucial. When the focus is only on money, it usually leads to working relationships that don’t last.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
In fashion and entertainment, there’s always a push to consume—new trends, new products, new looks—because naturally, people want to sell things. The truth is, most people don’t need more stuff or constant change. What really matters is alignment: being thoughtful and strategic about what works for them and their goals.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. I do this every day in my work—giving my best, even without praise, is just part of running a business.
