Linleigh Richker, Wardrobe Consultant Linleigh Richker brings a fresh and tasteful point of view to her work as a wardrobe consultant.  Her mantra is you never get a second chance to make a first impression.  So even a trip to the grocery store has it’s place. Her clients include men and women who simply don’t either have the time, inclination or ability to create a wardrobe that is right for them. Linleigh has the unique ability to weed out a client’s closet and identify what’s missing with speed and efficiency.  She puts together a "working wardrobe" that’s appropriate for every occasion and specific to each individual client’s needs. She also helps clients interpret trends in a meaningful way.  Linleigh’s diverse clientele ranges from the high-powered entertainment executive to the stay-at-home mom or dad.  Prior to starting Linleigh Richker Wardrobe Consultants, Linleigh worked in the wholesale apparel industry representing lines such as Philippe Adec, Equipment, InWear/Matinique and Perry Ellis.  Before that, she worked as a men’s clothing buyer for Neiman Marcus.   She’s married with two children and in her spare time loves to play tennis.
