Background

About Collette Royer

Collette is a traveler, writer, stylist, luxury retail merchandising, and management consultant. After twenty-five years in the designer fashion industry, working for Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom, she took a sabbatical and wandered away into the wide world to find adventure, to explore, meditate and learn. For a year she traveled alone; a container ship ride across the Pacific Ocean to Taiwan, China and Hong Kong; ferries and trains, busses and planes across Southeast Asia and Australia; eight days sitting in silence at the feet of Mooji; Advaita Vedantist spiritual teacher; living and traveling for two months in Spain while studying Spanish - which she hopes someday to master. Returning to the US, Collette settled in Providence where, attracted by the beauty of the city, the miles of Rhode Island coastline, and the crazy art vibe, she decided to broaden her cultural and business horizons, taking courses in art history and curation at the Rhode Island School of Design. In 2014, she created her first online business "Find Your Cool", an art marketing platform. Today, Collette lives in LA, and in addition to art, marketing, retail, and style consulting, she is currently working on a full-length novel about her journey and designing her own line of jewelry and clothing for col-lab design studio;
