Meet April Perrin, joining ZÁY SHEEN Webisodes Season 2, Episode 8.

April is a sustainable wardrobe stylist, content creator, and educator who helps people shop with intention, not impulse. Her specialty is sustainable fashion, longevity-focused styling, and giving people real tools to break the “buy-bored-repeat” cycle.

In this Webisode, we talk about how losing her luggage in Southeast Asia became the turning point that changed her relationship with clothes forever, why boredom shopping is really dopamine chasing, how to build a wardrobe that fits your real lifestyle (not a fantasy version), why the quality of clothing is declining while prices rise, and the simple decision-tree she uses before buying anything: need it → borrow it → buy it secondhand → support small business → last resort.

She also drops practical exercises you can try this week, including using the Beni app to find secondhand alternatives and one rule that can save you money and reduce waste: check the fabric tag before you buy.

We’re excited to welcome Csenge Herpai, a Milan-based personal stylist and image consultant whose work goes far beyond clothing into identity, presence, and becoming the fullest version of yourself.

Originally from Hungary and now living in Italy for over a decade, Csenge has built her practice at the intersection of personal styling, image consulting, and personal branding, shaped deeply by Italian culture, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
In this Webisode, we explore:
• Csenge’s journey from Hungary to Milan and the slow, meaningful transition of building a life and career abroad
• Why style is not about trends, but about identity, presence, and confidence
• How the pandemic became a turning point in redefining her own wardrobe and her clients’ needs
• The importance of finding your “core” and dressing with intention, not noise
• Why quality matters more than quantity, and how conscious choices align with sustainability and ethics
• How personal styling is as much emotional work as it is technical
• The role of human connection in an era increasingly shaped by AI and virtual tools
• Why the future of fashion must prioritize awareness, responsibility, and longevity

Csenge’s story reminds us that style is not about fitting into boxes or following rules; it’s about self-expression, intuition, and building a wardrobe that supports who you are and where you’re going.

• The “lightbulb moment” that turned Poshmark into a side business and a new way of consuming
• Why starting with what you already own is the smartest first step for anyone new to reselling
• How to thrift without feeling overwhelmed by shopping with a focus, a list, and an open mind
• Why fabric matters more than brand, and how comfort + texture guide her style decisions
• The real power of Facebook Marketplace for keeping furniture and home goods out of landfills
• How to normalize secondhand in everyday conversations, and why that’s how culture changes
