After gaining a new job with Hills Balfour a travel PR company, I was in desperate need of a new smart/casual wardrobe that I could use for day-to-day wear yet translate into the evening for events. As I have put on a little bit of weight over the past year I asked Caroline to help design my wardrobe to fit all of my requirements as I find it difficult to find clothes to fit my body type. Over the space of three hours we managed to find three new outfits complete with accessories perfect for work and play.

I couldn't thank Caroline enough for the help she has given me and would recommend her to anyone.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Caroline Bilkey on a number of occasions during my time in London, as well as in Sydney & Auckland. The nature of my work over the past few years – both as a model, and now at RUSSH magazine - means I’m required to attend all imaginable types of industry events, often at short notice and with a lack of time to shop prior.

Caroline has been an absolute saviour many times over, has accommodated so many of my requests, and always so graciously. I’ve always known her to be completely reliable, trustworthy & efficient – she’s one of the busiest people I know, and yet always makes me feel that I’m at the top of her list.

Her fashion industry knowledge has come of great use, she has always seemed to possess an innate understanding of just what would be appropriate for the crowd & occasion. She has such a brilliant eye for fashion, knows exactly what’s on trend without being overly styled, and I really feel she brings something unique & sincere to her work.

I continue to use Caroline as my stylist, and highly recommend her – as do all the people I’ve recommended her to in the past.

Caroline Bilkey participated in work experience with the Fashion Department of marie claire, Australia from 19th until 23rd March 2007.

Throughout her week with us Caroline was a great support to the fashion team. She was enthusiastic and willing to help out with various duties in the Fashion Office. Caroline was focused and organised. She learnt quickly and was trusted to work on her own in the fashion cupboard. At all times Caroline displayed a happy and friendly attitude. It was a pleasure to have her at marie claire.

I worked with Caroline during the finals of Miss Top Model UK. From the first meeting she was a dedicated and highly professional individual which carried her through to the final evening. Her enthusiasm was immense and her passion for the job reflected in her performance. We occured many problems whilst working mainly due to the fact that it was the first time this event had been run but Caroline took each one head on and solved them without fuss or complaint. A joy to work with.

We used Caroline's services to help us design and manufacture suitable promotional outfits for a new product launch. Caroline was very professional and did a superb job looking after all of our requirements, going above and beyond what we expected of her. The end result was fantastic and the outfits got rave reviews from everyone that attended the trade show we were at! I definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone at all.

Caroline Bilkey was employed by me while I was managing events for the "42 Below" vodka company throughout New Zealand.

During my 4 years with the company Caroline was employed to design outfits, arrange promotional staff along with being present at our numerous events.

She proved to be very reliable and an extremely trustworthy client. She also possessed great leadership and time management skills which were needed for our huge events.

Caroline proved to be an asset at our events as our competitors along with co-workers within our company were constantly commenting on the professionalism and courtesy Caroline showed.

Her designs and finished costumes for promotional staff were always show stoppers and portrayed Caroline's need for only the best.

I wish Caroline all the very best for her travels to London and would certainly have no hesitation in hiring her to work with my company upon her arrival.

For any verbal references please don't hesitate to contact me.

My company has used the services of Caroline and her team on several occasions, and I would like to comment on the most recent event she assisted us with. Our event took place in central London over a number of days and our requirement was for high quality promotional staff, and Caroline was just the person to help! We gave Caroline very little notice and yet, as usual, she managed to get us just the right calibre of promotional staff who were superb. She also organised the uniforms for us, the staff arrived early for their shifts and looked fabulous.

I will definitely be using Caroline and her team in the future, the service they offer is first class and seamless. Thanks for helping to make our event a huge success.

We are a Photography and film making organisation who specialise in live music and fashion. I have worked with Caroline Bilkey on a number of occasions. Caroline is a reliable and punctual make up artist and model. She has supported me during TFP Shoots (Time For Photos). Her make up work has included Big Hair and Make Up Styles, Subtle tones work and emotional looks. She has the ability to adapt the style according to the changing needs presented and I would be confident in recommending her. Having modeled herself Caroline understands how models feel and is able to offer support, advice and guidance, particularly to new models who may lack confidence. Caroline's modeling awareness has also meant that she is able to engage with the photography process and provides excellent on set support as requested

Caroline's unique eye, concentration, great personality and skills in make-up and styling makes her such a pleasure to work with. She's so easy going and relaxing but extremely focused at the same time. The perfect combination!

I use Caroline for the styling and production of my uniforms and would never go to anyone else. Her professionalism, time management and communication is by far the best around. Her imagination in putting key pieces together is also spot on. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of Caroline and her delectable girls at our biggest promotional event of the year and without doubt they were an asset way beyond our expectations. The service and increase in sales not to say the infectious smiles helped make the event not only a success from a business perspective but built the reputation of the venue overnight. We wholeheartedly endorse the ethics and standards of De Vallenger as a company and Caroline as the driving force behind it.

Caroline worked for us as a brand ambassador on the Yves Saint Laurent brand manifesto launch, in London. Specifically requested by the Parisian brands head office, this twice yearly manifesto event is a fashion phenomena, taking place in 5 of the world’s most fashionable cities - Tokyo, Milan, Paris, New York and London, all held exclusively on the same day. Not only did Caroline look great, she engaged well with the public and understood and evidently displayed the specific needs of such a high profile client.

I met Caroline during a photoshoot I had to build on my actress portfolio. It was such a fantastic day for us all as we were based in a plush Kensington apartment and had a beautiful Hungarian Vizla dog for company! Caroline was amazing! I warmed to her immediately, as she is so friendly, and professionally she is very efficient. She has a great eye, is time efficient and extremely good at what she does. Plus, she herself is so beautiful, it makes you wonder why she wasn't the one in front of the camera too!
