On May 8, South Coast Plaza hosted its highly anticipated Stylist Retreat, a two-day immersive experience designed to inspire, educate, and connect fashion professionals. The retreat brought together thoughtful conversations, industry insights, inspiring speakers, a beauty extravaganza, and, of course, exceptional cuisine.
And yes, we learn a great deal about the industry—emerging trends, what’s ahead, and how to better serve our clients—but there is so much more woven into those two days. The beautiful setting instantly puts you at ease, the food is always exceptional, and the relaxed atmosphere encourages genuine connection. It’s the kind of environment where ideas flow naturally, and friendships grow even stronger.
Those two days away feel like a true pause from everyday life. They are moments to recharge, recenter, and return feeling inspired, both professionally and personally. I always leave feeling refreshed and grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a supportive and dynamic team.
These retreats create memories that linger long after they’re over. Let me share a few highlights from these special moments—I wish you had been there to experience it all with us.
