An icon in her own right, you can’t pronounce celebrity stylist Shun Melson’s name without saying the word fashion. She is FaSHUN. Shun has become somewhat of a modern day superwoman, swooping in and transforming her clients from best-dressed list unknowns to media darlings.

Shun boasts a diverse clientele ranging from reality TV ‘it girls’ such as Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Phaedra Parks and Tameka “Tiny”, to Grammy and Academy award winning entertainers Ledesi, Monica, Fantasia, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Jennifer Hudson and Tyler Perry, Tasha Cobbs. The fashion maven also counts a number of artists (gospel, r&b, rap), professional athletes, housewives and business executives as clients, which explains her often used #NeverNotWerkin hashtag.

The trendsetter does more than improve her clients’ style; she helps improve their lives and careers. “My goal is to keep my client’s focused on their business at hand whether that is a promotional tour, game, concert, business meeting or just having more quality family time. I eliminate the stress of them doing any of the legwork to look polished and feel fantastic.” Shun, who started her career working in high-end retail, knows how to provide outstanding customer service and put all the details together. She provides wardrobe assessment consulting, closet organization, shopping assistance, personalized look development, personal fittings, cross-country shipping, outfit snapshots for effortless dressing and packs each item with meticulous instructions. Shun is also notorious for scouring the globe to procure a specific item upon a client’s request and she does so with a smile.

“I’ve been told that I handicap my customers,” says the proud clotheshorse. “They’ll tell me ever since they hired me they can’t even walk into their closets, a store or go on a trip without contacting me first.”

An Atlanta native, where she resides with her two young sons, Shun turns just as many heads as her loyal protégés.
