IDENTITY to ICON METHOD

TM

A signature personal styling methodology that begins with your identity and builds a wardrobe around the woman 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 and 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

  • Lyly Tee

    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.

  • Kara Francis

    1:1 CLIENT

    I'm so grateful to you for everything. Can't wait to wear the new pieces. Please let me know how where to leave a testimonial for you, so I can share a glowing review!

  • Amy Groves

    CAPSULE ICONS MEMBER

    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.

  • Amanda Henke

    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.

  • Kirsten A. Williams

    1:1 CLIENT

    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.

  • Sarah Yourgrau

    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.

  • Andrea Mac

    1:1 CLIENT

    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.

  • Esther G.

    1:1 CLIENT

    Before working with Nadine, I struggled to find clothes that suited my body type and that I genuinely loved wearing. Shopping was generally a very frustrating experience for me. Over the course of working together, my overall approach to style completely shifted.

    Working with Nadine has taken the stress out of shopping. Getting dressed feels a lot more effortless now and I show up feeling much more confident because I know my wardrobe reflects my personal style.

  • Vera Suarez

    WORKBOOK

    Nadine's workbook has been transformative for my style and my approach to shopping.

    Shopping/style have always been difficult for me, but now I feel like I have a plan and some guidelines. I highly recommend!

    CAPSULE ICONS MEMEBER

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

    I bought the silver jumper and am eyeing the red one too…

    Getting notified that your new edition is out is such a gift. Love what you do.

  • Christy S.

    1:1 CLIENT | CAPSULE ICONS MEMBER

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

  • Jenni Calihan

    CAPSULE ICONS MEMEBER

    I am new to the membership - loving it - and was working through the spring collection when it was replaced by summer. This is great (more fun, elegant looks!)

  • Kristen Kenny

    1:1 CLIENT

    Before working together, I had a few go-to outfits with limited variety and felt like my wardrobe needed an update, but I didn't really know where to start. I'm not a great shopper for myself. I'm more excited to get dressed and get out of the house because I like the way I look, and that's had a real impact on how I approach my day.

    I feel more confident in how l show up overall, and I've also gotten a lot of outfit compliments.

  • Josie G.

    CAPSULE ICONS MEMBER

    Everything feels so well thought through and cohesive, which has been a huge relief. I’ve gotten a significant amount of time back because I’m not constantly thinking about clothes anymore. And day to day, the biggest difference is how I feel: I actually like what I’m wearing. I feel more confident, more put together, and I genuinely enjoy the pieces I own.
