Ladybird specializes in transformational personal styling. Owned and operated by and for women, Ladybird teaches a unique method for finding and developing true personal style.
Ladybird hatched in the Spring of 2010 when founder, Molly Bingaman, stumbled upon something shocking.
Women, on the whole, were missing something significant.
Confused by clothing and distracted by fashion, they were judging their appearance using all the wrong metrics. Comparing themselves to friends and co-workers, spending money on things they didn't even like, and feeling lost and overwhelmed in stores and dressing rooms, womankind was in need of an intervention.
Offended by the notion that a woman should feel less than capable, Molly began teaching fledgling style seekers the ropes of how to recover their sense of self by using their sense of style.
And just like that, Ladybird was born.
Ten years later, and with a team of compassionate style, hair & makeup experts lending their skills and joining the cause, Ladybird has helped countless hundreds of women (and men) find their expressive style. Working out of a renovated bus depot, Ladybird's styling studio is a 4,000 square foot love hub, where women can be comfortably themselves and surrounded by others who get them.
There is a lot to sift through when it comes to bravely addressing how you feel about your appearance, and we're here for that. Never again do we want a woman to feel she is out of her league in a boardroom, uncomfortable at an event, or like the other moms in the carpool line are cooler than her. We know that the key to personal style is within reach and right around the corner.
Our deepest desire is to empower women to live authentically, and we won't stop until effortless personal style is the norm for women everywhere.
The Ladybird Style Lab is located in the heart of the Kansas City Crossroads Arts District. Our services are offered both in person and online.
