Imagine, you win a fashion makeover, the top fashion stylist spends several hours transforming you from a ‘ugly’ duckling to a swan. You’re covered head to toe in designer labels. Truly there should not be a better feeling. Well maybe just one or two. You know the ones I mean.
But back to the story…
You look great but you’ve never felt less like yourself. You feel like an alien has invaded your body. Those killer heels in the magazines look fabulous but the reality is a near death experience. The outfit would look great on a 16 year old. So great, if you lost a decade or two.
Maybe you’re a working mum or a time poor professional, clearly the ‘glamazonian’ look is not going to work in the office or at the school yard gate. What went wrong? This was meant to be the experience of a life time. In an effort to deliver an up to the minute look, the inexperienced stylist may overlook the importance of dressing your fashion personality and accommodating your day to day reality.
Dressing your unique personality does not come in a one size fits all approach. Nor will fitting you out in the last trends do the trick. To feel great you have to be comfortable in your clothes knowing they are a true reflection of who you are. Well, maybe a more stylish, perky and less tired version of you having a good hair day.
Professional image consultants start with you as the foundation and add layers, your profession, which industry you work in, your age, the environment and climate, your body shape and colouring and lastly, what will give you a contemporary, up to date look. So you are still you, just a more modern version.
Mastering a simply signature style initially is an investment in core services such as a colour and style consultation, a strategic image assessment as well as a wardrobe audit and co-ordination session before you even consider hitting the shops to purchase the latest fashion.
Great foundations make the best and most lasting makeovers. You are the foundational piece and staying true to your true personality will inevitably delivery the most gorgeous and manageable transformation.
