F or more than twenty years, Sarah has worked across editorial fashion, private styling and commercial campaigns, helping individuals discover confidence through how they present themselves to the world. Today, she brings this deep industry experience into classrooms across the UAE through her work with ZAKS Uniforms, the region’s most trusted schoolwear provider. Through Confidence Grooming workshops, Back-to-School styling sessions and student community events, Sarah works alongside ZAKS to help young people build confidence from the inside out. Their shared mission is simple and deeply human. Uniforms are not only garments. They are a daily reminder of identity, belonging and self-belief. In this exclusive interview with Education UAE, Sarah shares how small styling habits can change how students feel each day, why confidence begins long before adulthood, and how sustainability can be taught through something as everyday as caring for a school uniform. Education UAE: You’ve had more than two decades of experience as a stylist and personal shopper - what first drew you to collaborating with ZAKS, and how does this partnership align with your creative values? Sarah: I’ve spent over 25 years helping people look and feel their best, from red carpets and editorials to everyday wardrobes and one thing that’s never changed is the power of confidence that comes from how we present ourselves. When I met the team at ZAKS, I immediately connected with their heart-led approach. They’re not just selling uniforms; they’re helping young people feel proud of who they are and that completely aligns with my own belief that what we wear is one of the strongest forms of non-verbal communication. Before we even speak, people form impressions based on how we look, so why not make that reflection as authentic and positive as possible? Education UAE: How different is styling for students compared to your commercial or editorial projects - what do you consider when helping children and teens feel confident in what they wear?
