For 25 years, Liz has been dressing everyday people across the country! She has dressed women in the New York social circles as well as actors and actresses for the Tony Awards and the Drama Desk Awards. As the Wardrobe Stylist for Saks Fifth Avenue, Liz travels around the country twice a year, advising on everything to include shoes, handbags, accessories, and ready to wear.

When Liz isn’t in the stores, she spends time in the designer's showrooms, giving feedback to the Saks merchants in New York.

About Liz Burpoe
From retail to wholesale, selling floors to factories in Italy, Liz’s experience is as diverse as the business. Starting at Saks as a part-time sales person and advancing to department manager after college, Liz then sold European collections. Her love of fashion and experience in the industry lay the foundation for an expertise that is unique.

Her start in the wholesale industry was with Ferragamo, where she traveled at least 6 times a year to Florence and Milan. At Ferragamo, she learned about the construction of a jacket and the fine details of the making of a pant. As a Stylist for Saks, Liz prepares for  each new season by working with all brands from Chanel, Prada, Akris Punto, Lida Baday, Piazza Sempione, MMissoni, BCBG, Diane von Furstenberg, Vince, Three Dots, James Perse, Zegna, Armani, …..and the list goes on!

Liz teaches a Master Class on Wardrobing at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in the Spring and merchandising classes in the summer.
