Upgrading Your Style Experience

Have you ever wanted to channel your inner rockstar for a day? To look and feel effortlessly cool and confident while getting treated like a VIP? Well, imagine actually stepping into that version of you for a weekend in New York City. You. Getting styled by your very own fashion stylist. Shopping for clothing that brings out that rockstar vibe. Having your photos taken by a professional photographer in front of iconic NYC landmarks wearing all your new duds. 

This is what you get and more in the Sharp Upgrade Experience with me, Tavia Sharp, a New York City stylist with over 20+ years of fashion industry experience working for some of the top brands like Calvin Klein with my designs featured on celebs like Drake, Ne-Yo, and Chrissy Teigen. Before we even step into a store or plan your celeb style shoot, we have a strategy session so I can get to know you personally, your likes and dislikes, and your next level goals so I can craft your custom brand image blueprint. Inside, it has styles, fits, brands, a shop plan and style rules for life all custom tailored just for you. I then create a game plan for your in-person VIP shopping day and photoshoot. 

“Deep down I always wanted to do something like this. I’ve seen shows like Queer Eye and thought that would be fun to do! Colin McKay excitedly shared about his recent Sharp Upgrade. As a musician, teacher and performer, Colin was looking to revamp his image for his new website, social media and live performances with his band. 

“Before, I really didn’t have a sense of my own style, and my biggest challenge was feeling like I don’t want to dress like an old man but also not like a 20 year old either. Yet every time I looked up style advice online, the advice I found was totally unrelated to me. I don’t go to an office or wear a suit. So where do I fit in?

I tried style services like Stitch Fix which helped me dip my toes into the water of owning my fashion sense but there was nothing personal about it. I just answered a few questions, one of them being if I liked polos or not. It was not hands-on like working with Tavia and her team. I can only compare it to watching a chef cook a dish on TV versus actually being with the chef in the kitchen learning how to make the dish from scratch. 

I really loved having a guide that saw the vision for me and enjoyed all the special treatment the day of as well as learning from Tavia about the quality of clothing selections and what works best for me. My wife was happy to see me having fun, feeling comfortable and growing in this area. And the final photos look amazing, like they are straight out of a Rolling Stone Magazine.” 

Colin now has a better sense of what fits him, not only what best fits his physique but also what fits his unique personality and style. No more wandering aimlessly around the mens department asking himself “do I need this” or wondering what actually looks good on him. He’s taking his new look to the stage and owning his inner rockstar in real life.

Now, it’s your turn. Picture having a creative team that sees your next level vision and executes on it. Planning out every detail ahead of time including a full day of pampering from the grooming appointment to having the clothing hand selected just for you to lunch at one of the best restaurants in NYC to topping it off with a rockstar style photoshoot. Just like having your very own Queer Eye team of experts for the weekend.

What we see and what we wear, we subconsciously judge others on it. It’s all visual. You can use it to your advantage in whatever you’re trying to do in the world. Instead of treating it like a chore or feeling like you’re being manipulative by making yourself feel important, why not just have more fun with it? How you dress helps you step into that next role in life. So why not up your fashion game, you have nothing to lose.

Food for Fashion in Three Verses

The fashion game, It’s deep. It’s complex. And when we talk about the struggles faced by people of color, it hits even harder. Let’s keep it real. In this industry, it often feels like (Poc) only gets one shot to make it, while our white counterparts can stumble, fall, and rise again like it’s no big deal. In examining the exploitative nature of the fashion system and the limited chances for people of color, I cannot escape the undeniable lived realities that many have experienced. The fashion industry, built upon the backs of marginalized communities, has long perpetuated a cycle of systemic bias, violence and inequality. This bias can be attributed, in part, to the scarcity of opportunities and the limited representation of people of color in positions of power within fashion. Those who hold the reins of influence—the executives, the designers, the gatekeepers—have predominantly hailed from white backgrounds.

Children of the Urf

Improvement isn’t optional, it’s tradition. For Black people, excellence has never been a luxury. It has always been a necessity. We’ve had to go further, work harder, and refine more deeply just to be considered for a fraction of the opportunities. It taught us how to evolve, how to adapt, how to keep becoming. Children of the Urf is built on the understanding that “always getting better” isn’t pressure, it’s inheritance. And “know what’s good for you” is both advice and reminder: to trust your instincts, honor your craft, and move with intention. These aren’t just slogans; they’re ways of living, ways of working, ways of seeing ourselves clearly.
