The Women
A shared love of style, a passion for people, and a belief that everyone deserves to feel seen.
Fashion has never been something that feels superficial to me. What we choose to wear is part of how we tell the world who we are, sometimes before we’ve even said a word.
Clothes can shift the way we stand, the way we move, and most importantly, the way we feel about ourselves. For me, style isn’t about following rules or becoming someone else. It’s about discovering what makes you feel most like you. That’s what I love about fashion, and it’s what I love about my team. Here at La Closette, we share a passion for helping people feel seen, celebrated, and at home in who they are.

Meet Sonia
Sonia Querin is a personal style consultant at La Closette. Her undeniable French flair and passion for the arts, dance, theatre, music and literature colours her world and that of her clients.
For Sonia, personal style is more than just clothing – it’s about embracing the language of fashion to express one’s true authentic self. A great shoe, a unique accessory, a wink, a smile, a je ne sais quoi that simply makes you, you. Her time spent abroad has helped her develop a keen eye for carefully crafted, quality yet wearable attire. A garment’s cut, proportions and fit are the standards she looks for and celebrates when working with her clients. Moreover, Sonia instills in her clients the belief that joy travels when we feel confident and strong in our fashion choices. That feeling of empowerment translates into everything we do, say or share. Dressing can be a joyful and elevating experience when we approach it with both passion and an open mind. Prior to joining La Closette, Sonia nurtured her love of fashion and retail by representing several luxury brands, in addition to holding senior merchandising and consulting roles. Most recently, she was founder and owner of an online boutique shop where she married her entrepreneurial spirit with her love of design. According to Sonia, never doubt the passion of the heart…and the power of a great red lipstick.
Meet Stephanie
Stephanie Cohen is a fashion stylist at La Closette, where she has been styling clients for almost three years. She has a passion for fashion and a great eye for putting things together, but what she really enjoys is helping people feel good about what they wear.
Stephanie has a BA in Philosophy and a diploma in Advertising with a focus on Art Direction. Her creative background has shaped the way she approaches fashion, with a particular love for colour theory and the history of fashion. As Stephanie would say, those two things really “pump her up.”
She styles all genders and body types and can accommodate any budget. Whether you need a whole new wardrobe, a few great pieces or the perfect outfit for an occasion, Stephanie wants you to feel confident, comfortable and completely yourself.
She also has a knack for finding the interesting stuff in Toronto, from the designers and boutiques everyone knows to the little places and unexpected finds that most people walk right past.
Outside of fashion, Stephanie is a mother of two, a devoted AussieDoodle mom to Rubble, a punk rock music lover and a sugar-cereal-for-breakfast enthusiast.
For Stephanie, fashion should be fun, personal and never intimidating. It’s not about following every trend. It’s about finding what works for you and feeling great in your clothes.
