Meet Clos muse
Hi, my name is Clodagh Cruddas and a big welcome to Clos Muse! I'm from Dublin and live in a gorgeous seaside town called Rush. I'm married, have a grown up son and 4 beautiful dogs. I am a self confessed fashion geek and live to style. I believe fashion is art and we are the canvas. If you had a blank canvas, what portrait/image would you paint? My job is to help you paint a picture of how you want to be perceived and most importantly, express your personality through your own sense of style.
I started off back in the '00s as an image consultant, I trained with the Style Coaching Institute so I could setup a styling business whilst I was working full time as a business executive.
My life circumstances changed and I had to park my styling business to focus on my full-time career which at the time as a single parent paid the bills.
Throughout those years, I continued to give fashion advice and sourced one off pieces for clients when I could.
Now at 49, I have left my Corporate world behind, picking up where I left off and doing what I was born to do - helping people express themselves through style. Having been a successful female leader in the tech world, I know more than most how important it is to look confident even if we don't feel it. I have disarmed many a cold fish with a fabulous outfit and a big smile. Style and attitude go hand in hand, make them work for you and watch peoples reactions!
My influences vary from the greats, Westwood, Galliano, McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, to name a few.. however, I am mostly passionate about supporting and nourishing our post grad fashion designers so Ireland retains it's talent. I work a lot with these designers to curate one of a kind pieces at affordable prices for my clients.
We look our best when we let our real selves, shine through!
With a keen eye for style and an obsession with fashion, you are in great hands with me. I have helped men and women find a new level of confidence through their new found style.
With over 25 years experience of working with people, my goal is to make you feel safe and comfortable, whilst pushing through the necessary style boundaries. You don't just get a new look with me, you get to experience first class treatment and fun along the way!
Whether you're seeking a complete wardrobe overhaul or simply looking for some fashion styling expert advice on how to update your look, I am here to help.
I believe in shopping smart, getting wear and value out of your clothes, investing in timeless pieces and keeping fast fashion to a minimum.
I will teach you how to rework your wardrobe in order to get the most out of your fashion investments and gently persuade you to bring colour back into your life.
find your own style
I believe our style is our armour and specialise in breaking through your inner barriers by teaching you how to find your unique style and most importantly, how to own it.
As we go through life, our bodies change and this can knock our confidence. People can get stuck in a rut and that can impact how we feel about meeting new people, going for a job promotion, dating and or socialising in general.
I don't believe in trends and prefer to adapt clothes to your personality, trends come and go, fashion is adaptable and attitude is everything.

The best stylist in the whole universe. Super talented and gifted. She actually cares about her clients. No one size fits all so she creates a bespoke experience for each individual. I enjoyed my visit so much so I have no hesitation in recommending her services. Definitely 10 out of 10. Emma

Clodagh is absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her more highly.
She has changed my life. Thanks to Clodagh I have a whole new wardrobe and interest in clothes. But more importantly she has given me so much confidence as I now know what suits me. She took the time to do a full colour consultation and on our shopping trips she selected outfits which challenged my comfort zone , in the best possible way , always felt I was too fat or too tall to wear certain items but Clodagh has given me confidence and style. Since working with her I have never gotten so many compliments, every time I wear something Clodagh selected several people remark “I love your outfit “ . Now I look forward to going out and strutting my stuff in my new clothes.
Clodagh really knows how to find items that are going to suit you and designs a look book which you can reference for future inspiration. I’m definitely going to use Clodaghs services again as she makes shopping so much fun. The next event I have I will be calling on Clodagh to style me. She’s simply incredible

I have started my collaboration with Clodagh a couple of months ago and could not recommend her enough !! Our first session included a full colour analysis where she reviewed my skin undertones and based on that was able to provide me with a complete colour palette to work with. The next step was a big shopping trip which was super fun ! Clodagh selected some outstanding pieces for my wardrobe that I would not have normally had the courage to even try on! Since then I’ve been getting multiple compliments on my new style which feels fresher and more creative . Clodagh is a little gem with a unique ability to get her clients out of their comfort zone with ease. Cannnot wait for our next shopping adventure !

I know Clodagh from previously working with her in her Corporate life. I had never put a lot of thought into my appearance before, but watching how she showed up and carried herself, inspired me to up my game as I could see the impact her polished put together look made in comparison to my other peers. I consulted her for the elevation package and it was the best thing I ever did.
She created a look book for casual and work outfits and we went from there, I now have a whole new image and get compliments daily, my girlfriend loves my new look, thank you Clodagh!!

Stepping through Clodagh's front door felt like tumbling down a rabbit hole into a world where the color black ceased to exist.
Instantly, I felt alive amidst the vibrant colours that surrounded me.
Clodagh's colour analysis consultation was truly eye-opening. Why have I been wearing black all my life??
Her warm welcome and expert guidance helped me discover a palette of colours that not only truly suit me, but colours i would never have ever looked at!
Her contagious good vibe energy made the experience unforgettable.
I am beyond grateful to Clodagh and cannot recommend her services highly enough.
I am already planning my next session and shopping spree with her.
Time to start saving, because this investment in self-discovery is worth every penny.
Thank you so much x

I spent a wonderful day with Clodagh which has left an indelible impact on me. Initially, our meeting was merely about choosing my colours, but she went beyond, nurturing my confidence, enhancing my style, and advising me on fashion choices. Her transformative magic on my self-assurance and the wealth of practical advice she offered, continue to guide me. I eagerly anticipate our future collaborations and wholeheartedly endorse her exceptional skills. She is a miracle worker and her energy is infectious.
