Listen "How Abi Hoffman Curates a Dream Closet Through Travel, Storytelling & Style Romanticism"
Episode Synopsis
Today on Style POV, I’m joined by someone who makes the everyday feel cinematic. Abi Hoffman is a fashion content creator, writer, and vintage curator whose work lives at the intersection of beauty, storytelling, and intention. Her aesthetic—what she calls “maximalist-minimalist”—merges structured silhouettes with rich textures, archival pieces, and those unforgettable flourishes that give fashion its emotional weight.In this conversation, Abi shares how her background in music and visual storytelling shapes her unique approach to style. We talk about the art of romanticizing your wardrobe (without leaning into cliché), building a closet that feels like a deeply personal collection, and what it means to lead with intuition when it comes to dressing.We also dive into:The philosophy behind her signature styleWhy some vintage finds feel like lifelong companionsHer favorite designer brands for inspirationHow travel shapes her fashion point of viewThe delight of vintage hunting (and how to shop online for it)Pinterest as a modern mood boardAnd a glimpse into her upcoming creative projectWhether you're in the middle of refining your wardrobe or dreaming about your next great find, this episode is an invitation to slow down, go deeper, and embrace fashion as both art and autobiography.full show notes: https://gabriellearruda.com/abi-hoffman-style-romanticism/Where to Find Abi HoffmanSubstack: Abi HoffmanInstagram: @abihoffmanTimestamps01:40 – Abi Hoffman’s maximalist-minimalist personal style05:01 – Three designer brands to love07:59 – Romanticizing your style10:31 – Relying on intuition instead of a styling process11:57 – Style as part innate, part learned habits15:43 – Sources of style inspiration18:02 – The joy vintage hunting20:13 – Vintage shopping online24:07 – Traveling and style29:52 – Pinterest as a style tool33:13 – Abi Hoffman’s upcoming projectFollow me❤️ blog → https://gabriellearruda.com/ podcast → https://www.stylepovpodcast.com youtube → https://www.youtube.com/@Gabriellearrudadesign facebook group→ https://www.facebook.com/groups/gabriellearruda instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/gabriellearrudadesign/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign? pinterest → https://www.pinterest.com/gabriellearrudadesign/ email → [email protected] Disclaimer: The Style POV Podcast content is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.
