Barbastelle Lifestyle: A Curated Experience in Style and Sophistication
Barbastelle Lifestyle was co-founded by two lifelong friends, Jennifer and Isabelle, who share not only a deep personal bond but also a vision—to blend their individual passions and professional expertise to offer London a truly elevated Personal Shopping and Events experience. With their complementary skill sets and a shared appreciation for design, detail, and individuality, they created Barbastelle as a lifestyle service that caters to clients seeking authenticity, luxury, and a thoughtful approach to both fashion and celebration.
Their mission is simple yet ambitious: to create bespoke experiences that reflect their clients’ personalities and aspirations, whether through wardrobe curation or immersive event design. Together, they bring a seamless synergy of fashion and aesthetics, transforming everyday moments into something exceptional.
Meet the Co-Founders
Jennifer & Isabelle
Jennifer
With an innate eye for detail and a long-standing love for vintage and archival fashion, Jennifer brings a unique sensibility to Barbastelle’s personal styling and shopping service. Her career began in fashion editorial and commercial styling, where she worked on a wide range of photoshoots for both high street and luxury brands. From curating looks for campaigns to creating moodboards for editorial spreads, her experience spans the full spectrum of fashion media. In the last year, Jennifer has transitioned into personal styling, working one-on-one with high-net-worth clients to refine their wardrobes and elevate their day-to-day style. Her approach is intuitive and client-focused, always emphasising timeless pieces and individuality over trends.
Jennifer's clients appreciate her deep knowledge of fashion history, her impeccable taste, and her ability to make styling feel approachable yet elevated. She specialises in blending contemporary pieces with vintage finds, creating looks that are both current and deeply personal. Whether sourcing rare designer items or helping a client build a capsule wardrobe, Jennifer’s styling is always tailored, thoughtful, and refined.
Isabelle
Isabelle holds a degree in Interior Design from the University of the Arts London, which she completed while simultaneously building a career in the events industry. Her background in design gives her a unique ability to see space, mood, and detail in a way that transforms even the most intimate gathering into an unforgettable experience. During her early years working on high-profile events—ranging from book launches to private parties—Isabelle realised that her passion lay in the intersection of spatial design and emotional storytelling.
At Barbastelle, she leads the Events division, crafting bespoke experiences that are as visually stunning as they are meaningful. Whether designing an elegant dinner party or a vibrant children’s birthday, Isabelle brings a meticulous eye and a deeply personal touch to every event. Her style leans toward the modern and understated, with a flair for drama in just the right places.
She believes that events should not only be beautiful but also intentional—every detail, from floral arrangements to lighting, should tell a story and reflect the host’s personality. Her ability to seamlessly merge her interior design background with her event production expertise allows her to build environments that resonate on an emotional level.
Together, Jennifer and Isabelle form the creative force behind Barbastelle Lifestyle. Their shared values—creativity, authenticity, and excellence—are the foundation of the brand. As they continue to grow their business, their focus remains on providing tailored, high-touch services that go beyond expectations. Whether through a transformative styling session or a beautifully designed event, Barbastelle exists to make life not just more beautiful, but more you.
