Defining Style. Inspiring Confidence.
Nakia Lawrence, The Stylist
I’m an international Personal Stylist and Fashion Expert with more than 14 years of experience helping clients define, refine, and elevate their style.
Rooted in Raleigh, North Carolina—and shaped by formative training years in Europe—I’ve dedicated my career to transforming wardrobes and inspiring confidence through fashion.
The NL brand is built on the belief that true style should be chic, fierce, and effortless.
Fashion evolves, but elegance never fades. My approach balances timeless sophistication with modern edge—creating looks that empower and tell your story with intention and grace.
The NL Philosophy
My passion lies in showing others how the right style can shift perspectives, empower growth, and inspire new possibilities. Starting from the ground up, I created my brand to not only serve clients but also to mentor and educate. Today, I’m proud to offer the NL Style Craft Course, designed for aspiring stylists who want to break into and grow within the fashion industry. Alongside education, my services extend to closet organization, photoshoot styling, and the signature Laundry Care at Home experience—a monthly service that takes the stress out of everyday wardrobe care.
