Iman Leslie Palmaro has spent two decades inside the machinery of luxury fashion — and The Style Editor is where all of it comes home to your closet.
Iman was part of the founding U.S. sales team at Net-a-Porter, ranking as the top salesperson on her global team for eight of twelve quarters and later, as a Personal Shopper, generating $4.5 million in sales advising the retailer’s most discerning clients. At goop, she led customer experience while ecommerce sales more than doubled — and learned that wellness and dressing well are the same conversation. At Bottega Veneta, she ran omnichannel operations across 36 boutiques in three countries. Most recently, she has led AI-powered product initiatives across Kering’s houses, including Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen.
She founded The Style Editor in 2013 after editing her own closet and confronting an uncomfortable truth: the appetite for fashion far outpaces the needs it fulfills. Fashion mistakes are costly, financially and emotionally — and they spare almost no one, not even a professional personal shopper.
Her approach is shaped as much by the yoga studio as the showroom. A certified yoga teacher, Iman practices meeting every client exactly where they are: no judgment about what’s hanging in the closet, no prescriptions that ignore your actual life. The work begins with the body, the budget, and the calendar you have right now.
She also believes a closet is a dataset. What you bought, what you actually wear, and the gap between the two tell a precise story about who you are — and what to do next. Iman brings the same analytical rigor she uses building digital tools for luxury brands to reading yours, so every recommendation is specific, justified, and tied to pieces you already own.
Iman grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, studied economics, and holds a Master’s in Global Fashion Management from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She lives and works in New York City, and is proud that The Style Editor helps clients reveal their most authentic selves through dressing — sustainably, one closet at a time.
