Meet Erena Te Paa

A chance “What I would do if I won Lotto” conversation with a friend led Erena to her role at Signature Style. That friend (a Signature Style newsletter reader), informed her of our “Win your Dream Job as a Stylist” competition. With only two days until the competition closed, Erena swung into action to accomplish the six challenges we had set and proceeded to blow us away with her stunning entry.

Erena has an obvious love for fashion and style, entering fashion design competitions from an early age and sewing her own creations.  Her own style means you’ll see Erena dressed in anything from a gorgeous Vintage dress to a unique item uncovered at a market, mixed with something from a chain store, and she always looks amazing.

She studied for a Communications degree at Waikato but fashion was never far from her mind.  With roles in fashion buying, retail and assisting on styling projects Erena has been sure to keep a foot in the fashion world.

Erena originally hails from the Bay of Plenty but now calls Hamilton and Auckland her home.  Erena’s husband Joe runs a business in Hamilton so she happily divides her time between two cities

When Erena has some downtime you’ll find her snuggled up watching re-runs of Jane Austen and Bronte films, spending time with her husband Joe or busy working on a new fashion creation.  Erena has an insatiable appetite for a good fashion magazine and counts Grazia and Harper’s Bazaar amongst her faves - so much so that she can’t bear to part with her growing collection.

An innate sense of style and natural ability to adapt to the fashion tastes of women of all ages makes Erena a fabulous asset in our team. She’s also incredibly down to earth, making her clients feel totally at ease while achieving awesome results.
