Barbara Hecht

Born and raised in Toronto, my love for fashion and style became apparent at an early age. By the time I was four, I was designing my own clothing and having my mother (a talented seamstress) turn my visions into reality.

Growing up, I also found myself with a knack for styling interiors as well as individuals.

At the age of eighteen, when deciding whether to study fashion design or interior design, I decided to make what I thought to be the practical choice. I enrolled in Ryerson’s Interior Design program and four years later I received a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Interior Design.

For six years, I worked as an Interior Designer focusing mainly on residential, retail and corporate projects.

In 2001, when my daughter was born, I chose to leave the corporate world in order to stay home with her. When my son came along less than two years later, I focused all my efforts on raising a toddler and newborn.

As my children grew, I found myself with a little more time on my hands. Never one to sit around, I decided to fill the void with what I have truly always loved. Combining my love for fashion and style, and drawing upon my experience in the corporate sector, I trained to become a Certified Image Consultant and started a company called Blubelle Style.

I currently work with a variety of individuals and businesses to assist them with both their personal and professional needs. I also enjoy writing my newsletter and articles regarding anything related to image and style.
