Glamhive is a U.S.-based fashion technology company and online marketplace that connects consumers with professional fashion stylists for virtual and in-person personal styling services. Founded in 2015 by Stephanie Sprangers and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the platform enables users to book styling sessions and receive personalized wardrobe recommendations through a digital interface.[1][2]

Glamhive has been covered in publications including The Business of Fashion, Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), Vogue Business, People, and Who What Wear in the context of the growth of virtual styling services and the expansion of digital marketplaces for independent fashion professionals.[3][4][5]

History

Glamhive was founded in 2015 by Stephanie Sprangers to address a gap between consumer demand for professional styling services and the traditionally relationship-driven structure of the fashion styling industry.[6][7]

By the late 2010s, the platform had attracted stylists with established client rosters, including professionals known for working with public figures such as Angelina Jolie and Matthew McConaughey. The Business of Fashion reported that such stylists were using platforms like Glamhive to offer services directly to a broader consumer audience.[8]

WWD reported on the company’s launch as a virtual styling platform designed to connect consumers with professional stylists through a digital interface.[9]

Business model

Glamhive operates as a two-sided online marketplace connecting consumers seeking personal styling services with independent fashion stylists. Clients can book services through the platform, while stylists maintain profiles outlining their experience, aesthetic focus, and pricing.[10]

The platform enables stylists to expand their client base beyond traditional industry networks while providing consumers with access to professional styling services that were historically limited to high-profile clients.[11][12]

Services

Glamhive offers personal styling services delivered primarily through virtual consultations, allowing clients to work with stylists remotely. Services include wardrobe planning, outfit coordination, and personal shopping recommendations.[13]

A 2019 feature in Who What Wear documented a consumer styling experience facilitated through the platform.[14]

Events

Glamhive has produced industry events including the Glamhive Virtual Style Summit, a digital conference featuring fashion stylists and industry professionals.[15][16]

Industry context

Glamhive operates within the fashion technology sector and has been referenced in coverage of the broader shift toward digital and on-demand personal services.[17]

Coverage in Forbes, Business of Fashion, and Vogue Business has framed the platform as part of a wider movement toward making professional styling services more accessible through virtual delivery models.[18][19][20]
