Second Time Around & Style for Hire Combine Expertise to Offer Clients In-Home Consignment

NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Upscale consignment chain Second Time Around (STA) and styling agency Style for Hire have teamed up to launch the ultimate style concierge service – in-home closet sessions where experts effortlessly consign clients' high end, designer clothing. This Fall, clients will be able to enjoy this unique complimentary service nationwide as part of Style for Hire's Closet Audit & Closet Shopping experiences, where expert Stylists can assess unwanted designer pieces and then consign them at the nearest STA location.

Style for Hire, a national network of personal Stylists handpicked by co-founder Stacy London, works in a "judgment-free zone" to help clients look and feel their best. Style for Hire's core philosophy is that everyone should have access to help with personal style regardless of age, budget or body type.

STA and Style for Hire are a natural style fit as STA maintains its commitment to selling the finest selection of designer pieces, with an inventory of new and mint-condition items to bring an exciting element to every shopping experience. Recently featured as the focus of Bravo's reality television show Fashion Hunters, STA gave an inside look at upscale consignment from the perspective of one of its New York City stores.

STA CEO Bill Soncini says of the partnership, "We are thrilled to have a stylist partner with so much experience with high-end clientele, and hope this service offers our consignors with luxury items a chance to consign with us from the comfort of their homes."

Adds Cindy McLaughlin, co-founder & CEO, Style for Hire, "Second Time Around is a perfect fit for Style for Hire, thanks to our mutual commitment to style, service and personal relationships with clients.
