IDENTITY to ICON™ Method

A personal styling methodology built around your identity.

Together, we build a wardrobe around who you are, and the life you actually live.

Style doesn’t begin with what you buy.

It begins with who you are.

The Identity to Icon™ Method is my signature approach to personal styling, designed to uncover your style identity, refine what you own, identify what’s missing, and build a wardrobe with intention.

The result is more than better outfits. It's a wardrobe that feels distinctly yours. A wardrobe that makes getting dressed, and moving through your life, feel effortless.

PERSONAL STYLIST | FOUNDER

Nadine Naue is a personal stylist and founder of the Identity to Icon™ Method. For over 20 years, she worked internationally as a model, collaborating with incredible designers and stylists for publications like Vogue and Marie Claire, and brands including YSL, Revlon, and Kenzo. Those experiences shaped her eye for proportion, quality, texture, and timeless style. But the real foundation of her work came from everyday life. Traveling frequently for work, living in New York with limited closet space, and eventually becoming a mom taught her something powerful:

The most impactful wardrobes aren't the biggest ones. They're the most intentional.

Over time, this philosophy evolved into what she now calls the Identity to Icon™ Method—helping women translate who they are into wardrobes that truly support how they live. Today, she works with clients across the U.S. and internationally, guiding them through a structured approach rooted in one simple belief: fewer, better pieces—chosen with intention and built to work together.

Through her private 1:1 work and her membership Capsule Icons, she helps women move beyond trial and error into wardrobes that feel aligned, functional, and effortless to navigate in real life.

TESTIMONIALS

  • A woman with shoulder-length black hair, wearing a black sleeveless top and a layered necklace, sitting in front of a window with white framing.

    Lyly T.

    1:1 CLIENT

    But what surprised me most was how differently the world responded to me. People treated me differently. I was taken more seriously. People listened more, started conversations with me, and I felt more respected. I thought I was hiring someone to help me with clothes, but it ended up changing how I showed up in every area of my life.

  • A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a beige blazer, sitting on a light blue striped armchair, smiling at the camera in a room with beige curtains and floral arrangements in the background.

    Kara F.

    1:1 CLIENT

    My wardrobe hadn’t caught up to who I had become. I was dressing more out of habit than intention and still carrying some of the “attorney” energy from my previous career. I knew I had evolved, but my wardrobe hadn’t caught up.

    Working with Nadine helped me feel more aligned with the woman I was becoming. Now, whether I’m speaking with a client, networking, or creating content, I feel like I’m showing up as a more authentic, elevated version of myself. I’m proud that I’ve started embodying the woman and the business I’m building.

    I have shopped a lot smarter! I am no longer tempted by influencer picks or fast fashion because I know that my style persona is more special than just looking like everyone else around town. I love using style to express myself and as a way of taking care of myself. I've also found some new brands to try and love.

    1:1 CLIENT | CAPSULE ICONS MEMBER

    My life has totally changed. I’ve never had so many date requests. I’ve never had so many looks of approval from other fashionable people! Most importantly, I’ve never felt so confident in how I look which has added to me feeling better about myself than I have in years, maybe ever. I realize how we dress isn’t everything, but it helps. A lot! Nadine has made it so easy to look chic, feel comfortable and truly simplify the process of getting dressed. And she’s a truly lovely, wonderful and fun person to work with.

    This was truly an ‘ah-ha’ moment for me: realizing that what we wear is a form of communication. Nadine helped me refine my personal style for who I am today and the leader I aspire to be. I now have curated capsules for everyday life and key moments where I feel like my best self and my message is on point.

    1:1 CLIENT

    Before working together, I felt overwhelmed by my closet, so much ‘stuff,’ but no inspiration and no reflection of me. Within days, I felt lighter, more organized, and actually excited to get dressed again. It’s made a bigger impact on my day-to-day life than I expected.

    I am a busy, professional woman who often needs my wardrobe to reflect my credibility, expertise, and wisdom. Nadine is an incredible resource in curating outfits that reflect my professional brand and personal preferences. Working with her saves me time, money, and energy and increases my confidence.

    The Capsule Membership is incredible- so much effort went into it.

    It’s ok for your identity and style identity to evolve, especially if Nadine is your guide!

  • Lauren F.

    1:1 CLIENT

    I now have this new viewpoint and approach to my closet. I had a way, way overblown number of clothing options that I didn’t wear about 75% of the time. Working with Nadine helped me shed the deadweight and completely changed how I think about my wardrobe.

    Now I’m more creative, more intentional when I shop, and I actually enjoy getting dressed. I walk into my closet now and I don’t roll my eyes.

    CAPSULE ICONS MEMBER

    I’ve kind of turned shopping ‘off.’ I used to spend a lot on fashion, and it rarely felt like a high reward. Now I shop from Nadine’s curation instead of getting lost in infinite choices.

    Shopping isn’t a constant background activity anymore and that’s been the biggest shift. It’s been the biggest win for me.

    CAPSULE ICONS MEMBER

    I’m truly building a capsule and can style myself so much more effectively.

    Before Capsule Icons, I was looking online for accessible, elevated looks for work and relying on influencers for guidance. Now, I have a clearer sense of what works for me and I don’t even look to those influencers anymore.

    The biggest change is that I can actually style myself.
