Sheila Shoppz is considered the "Style Ambassador of Fashion" by many of her clients and peers. Sheila has also worked for the Limited Clothing Store, and Michael Kors at the Somerset Collection in Troy, Michigan. She attended school at the International Academy of Design & Technology in Troy MI, where she pursued a degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising.

In the beginning, it was a little boutique that catered to women and men selling clothing, shoes, and accessories. After seeing the demand and need for a personal stylist, Sheila took her business to the next phase, and focused on her client’s personal wardrobe needs.

She does it all when it comes to her clients looking their best: personal shopping, image consulting, organizing closets, and incorporating existing wardrobe pieces with new trends.

SHEILA SHOPPS, FASHION DESIGNER

FROM NOVEMBER 2017 ISSUE

About a year ago, I had a divine intervention with a stranger in a coffee shop. I was drawn to an individual and after a few moments of awkward eye contact, he approached me, and we had talking about life. He told me that the enemy is intimidated by what I was capable of doing and that there was something unique about me. I didn’t necessarily know it at that time, but he also prophesied to me that God had something in store for me where I would be an influencer.

Today that is being fulfilled. I do mainly three different activities with my time which is writing, modeling, or making coffee as a barista. In addition to being a writer for this publication, I am working on Lamaleah.com, Districtgal.com, and occasionally guest blogging for various sights. I also started a project with lamaleah.com to bring awareness to sexual harassment between models and photographers in my city.... I am extremely fortunate that God has supplied me with continual opportunities that few models ever receive.
