Safina Khimani

Style Coach

I have been in love with fashion since the age of 5. I have always been in tune with fashion and how to express oneself through clothing. Style to me is everything. Fashion can be superficial but style is what makes it authentic. I am passionate about helping women to find and express their authentic selves because I enjoy seeing the transformation and their true potential shine through. I love getting to know my clients with the intimacy that I do because it is real. I possess an extraordinary eye for the refined, sophisticated and beautiful. I am a style artist; creative soul and passionate entrepreneur choosing to live my life as a continuous journey. Faith is a word I’ve always been drawn to – it is the ability to leap without a net, trust without fact and live without limitations. My company reflects my lifelong connection with style and search for spirituality. You can find out more about Safina at http://befaithfulbefabulous.ca/
