meet the team

Meeting early in their careers while working together as assistant buyers for a national retail chain, Maryam and Barbara instantly connected over a mutual obsession with clothes. What started as a fast friendship quickly evolved into a natural creative partnership- we speak the same fashion language.

Maryam attended LIM College in Manhattan, graduating with a specialty in personal styling. Her work has been published in several trend-forward magazines, and she has been the trusted stylist for clients ranging from busy moms to reality television stars. Barbara’s background includes years of apparel & accessory buying for a tri-state luxury boutique. She developed a deep understanding of what sells, what lasts, and what becomes a true wardrobe staple. She later worked hands-on with factories to develop garments from the ground up, focusing on proven silhouettes backed by data from real people.

We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We bring industry expertise, intuition, and a genuine love for working with people- creating an experience with The Closet Cut that’s thoughtful, collaborative, and truly enjoyable.
