I am not just

a stylist

I am a curator

of presence, beauty and balance

creating with love

SINCE 1992

Stylist. Curator. Wellness Guide. Artist of Becoming.
 
I am a fashion stylist and curator—of clothing, of beauty, of the way we carry ourselves through the world.
 
But more than that, I believe we are all artists of the self.
Our bodies are blank canvases, and every garment we choose, every oil we apply with intention, every nourishing moment of care—it’s all part of the masterpiece we’re creating each day.
 
Essentially Francesca began with a love of timeless style, but quickly grew into something deeper. A philosophy. A way of living. A holistic blend of fashion and wellness designed to help women feel vibrant, empowered, and deeply at home in their bodies.

LIVE THE MOMENT

Style Is Forever

I’ve always believed that how we dress, how we eat, how we care for ourselves—it’s all sacred. Every detail becomes a brushstroke. Every moment, an opportunity to honor your wholeness.
 
“My passion is helping women reclaim their radiance—not by becoming someone else, but by becoming more of who they truly are.”
 
You’re not here to fit a mold.
You’re here to rise into your essence.

Always good vibes

more about Francesca

In 1999, I stepped into fashion professionally as a stylist and consultant. I loved watching women light up when they slipped into something that felt like them—not someone else’s idea of beauty, but their own. I’ve styled countless women since then, always with this philosophy in mind:
You are the canvas. Style is the brush. Confidence is the art.
 
In 2012, I discovered designer Lori Goldstein. Her unique silhouettes, layering techniques, and signature fabrics deeply influenced my evolving aesthetic. Her work reminded me that style can be fluid, fearless, and fun—and it inspired me to explore new ways to express my own.
 
Today, Essentially Francesca is the culmination of decades of experience, curiosity, and love. It’s a brand that reflects not just what I wear, but how I live—with presence, intention, and a deep desire to help other women feel radiant in their skin.
