Built & Backed, Episode 10: Gab Saper

Gab Saper is a personal stylist and founder of Wardrobe Editor™️, who helps you uncover the coolest, hottest, best version of yourself through what you’re putting on your body. She’s part stylist, part emotional translator—known for helping clients untangle the mess of “shoulds” in their closet and figure out what actually feels good again.

Drawing on her experiences from fashion school and working in retail, media and tech; she brings an intuitive-meets-practical approach to style that works as hard as you do.

Gab guides you to dress in a way that commands respect at work, turns every head at the restaurant and makes you the envy of every mom (or aunt!) on the playground – without sacrificing comfort or utility.

One of the primary ways she does this is by flipping typical style advice on its head. She’ll never advise you to keep up with the trends and she believes deeply that horizontal stripes are for everyone. Her process isn’t about perfection—it’s about building a wardrobe that saves you time, reflects who you actually are and feels damn good to wear.

Gab lives in Greenwich Village with her husband and children…and by children, she means handbags. Some of her favorite things include an empty inbox, spicy margaritas and laughing out loud to a podcast. She was once featured in The New York Times for her very tiny, very organized apartment—proof that she lives what she teaches: edit ruthlessly, wear joyfully.
