The Wedding Biz – Episode 424 CARRIE GOLDBERG/CLG Creative: Fashion Styling and Creative Consulting
Regular and longtime listeners of the podcast will likely recognize today’s guest’s voice as she has been on the show before! Carrie Goldberg is the founder and creative director of CLG Creative, a fashion styling and creative consulting firm which caters to personal and corporate clients all over the globe! Carrie channels her multifaceted background in editing, art direction, and creative direction from her experience as the weddings and travel director at Harper’s Bazaar, and before holding that position, she was the senior fashion editor at Martha Stewart Weddings. CLG Creative’s body of work is even further elevated by a top-level team of stylists whose experience spans the realms of fashion, men’s wear, accessories, fine jewelry, interior design, e-commerce, travel, and more!
Carrie talks about the personal difficulties that she endured in 2021 and what she learned from getting through them. She describes her team, reveals her biggest challenge with the company right now, discusses her styling process, makes a point regarding how style affects the guest experience and what makes CLG Creative unique in what they offer, and so much more!
