Understanding style is important to the mission of Dudley Rayborn. “I go into a client’s closet and I might say, ‘What are you wearing? What are you not wearing? Why are you not wearing this?’ I am a firm believer that your wardrobe should be created like an investment, you want to get a return on the money you are spending. Not so much what the fashion is, fashion has its place, and it is important. But style is a lifestyle,” said Rayborn.
