Style Consultation
In a Style Consultation, after I have thoroughly analysed your intake information and carefully customised your Style Guide; we meet online for 2 sessions (approx. 90 minute each) and take a deep dive into 2 main areas:
1. Understanding how to dress to best flatter your unique Body Shape, Scale & Proportions
2. Discovering your Style Personality & Developing Your Personal Style
By understanding these 2 key components of style, you will have a framework within which to make decisions going forward. You will realise it's the clothes that must change to suit your shape, and not your shape that must change to suit the clothes. There are silhouettes, lines & fabrics that work better or worse on certain shapes & proportions, and knowing what's right for you is immensley freeing. Marry this information with a deep understanding of what elements make up your style personality, and you have a rock solid toolbox to cultivate a style that both reflects who you are, and supports who you are becoming.
1: Body Shape Analysis
Together, we figure out the specific lines, silhouettes, fabrics, patterns and design details to look for when shopping for clothes & putting outfits together. You will leave knowing exactly which top styles, necklines, sleeve styles, rise & silhouette of trousers, hem lengths, skirts & dresses, and jackets & coats that wil look best on your shape & proportions.
We will explore dressing for your Shape in detail:
• Horizontal Body Shape
• Vertical Body Proportion
• Key Areas of Concern
• Height & Scale
• Face shape
2: Discovering Your Style Personality
We are all unique and we have our own personal style which reflects who we are. If our clothes are out of sync with our personality we feel uneasy, like we're playing dress up or wearing someone else's clothes. You're never going to feel your best in clothes that just feel alien to you and who you are as a person.
Your Style Personality is simply your interpretation of clothes & fashion, what feels like you. Your choices must not only reflect the real you - your personality, your values & your goals; but also work for your real life, as it is now. Your wardrobe should only contain clothes that you would actually wear now - in your current lifestyle. Not clothes for the life you had, and not clothes for some imaginary lifestyle that's not actually aligned to your reality.
Our lives evolve over time, and so too does our personal taste and style personality. Tuning into what you really love, and what works for your lifestyle, gives you a steadfast confidence when shopping, exploring trends, and putting your daily outfits together.
