Powerful in Her Skin

Hello, I’m Lysiane.

I’m a mom, wife, aspiring singer, personal stylist and colour expert with a love for bold colour, timeless style, and helping women feel powerful in their own skin. I’ve been in the fashion industry for more than a decade: what started on runways and behind the camera has now become a mission to help women show up for themselves with confidence and ease.

Born in Québec, based in Toronto, and raising two wild and wonderful little humans, I know what it’s like to juggle ambition, motherhood, and self-expression. Style, to me, isn’t just about what you wear. It’s how you walk into a room. It’s energy. It’s presence. It’s owning your light, without waiting for permission.

I find inspiration in timeless fashion, a warm bath, quiet mornings with good matcha, fearless women, a killer playlist, a mic in my hand, and the courage to be exactly who you are. I believe in a style that feels like you – one that matches your personality, fits your life, and most importantly, makes you feel good every single day.

You’ll often find me dancing with my kids, singing while I drive, dreaming up my next big idea, sipping something warm while grounding myself, or hyping up another woman stepping into her spotlight.

I travel between Toronto and Montreal because I love road trippin’ – and wherever you are, I’m happy to meet you in person or connect virtually to help you shine.
