Empowering.         Image-Boosting.         Money-Saving.

      Anna Akbari is the thinking person’s stylist. She has a PhD in visual sociology, with a specialization in visual self-presentation - in addition to over ten years of experience in all facets of the fashion industry.

      As an expert on the relationship between fashion and power, Anna believes fashion should be as fun as it is functional, and contends that even a modest budget or fashion-agnostic individual can yield great style.

      Anna guides people through their closets, assesses what they already have, then strategizes about what to add -- a process which saves money and time, while helping to build a more coherent style.

      Closet Catharsis aims to create individualized, conscious visual identity, not just keep up with the trends. With an emphasis on local designers and small boutiques, shopping with Anna also ensures that you’re supporting the community while investing in your image.
