I want to find a queer eye

I know this is ridiculous but... I'm 46 years old, a successful entrepreneur, and have never put any thought into fashion. My clothes are a mixed bag of things the women in my life have picked out over the years. I've always taken care of others but not myself, and am making a conscious effort to change that. As part of my "self care" I've decided to update my wardrobe. The problem is I have very little free time and no passion for learning about clothes. I started trying to do my own research and I quickly gave up. I'd love to find someone who I can meet in person who will coach me and shop with me. My perfect person would be like the folks on Queer Eye. Someone fun and unconventional. I’m open to compensate the person or buy them some clothes. How do I find someone like that? I'm thinking about walking to the Gayborhood and talking to random people who are dressed well, should at least make for some interesting conversations. Any better ideas? I'm open to non-queer people too haha. I'm 6'4" and in good shape and live in Philadelphia. My social circle is younger, lots of artists and creative non-traditional people. I'd be fine spending $5000 or more on clothes if it felt right.

I searched for a personal shopper in my city. They all seem oriented towards traditional / high-fashion looks. I feel like I want to find someone unconventional and fun. I'm a psychdelic person with multi-colored hair lol. But is there a website you'd recommend to find a stylist?
