Image Consulting goes beyond fashion or styling. It is the profession of helping people manage how they present themselves so their appearance, behaviour and presence support their personal and professional goals.
You are naturally attentive to clothing, grooming, presentation, behaviour or how people carry themselves.
You enjoy guiding, mentoring, consulting or helping people become more confident and effective.
You want more than informal styling knowledge and are looking for a structured, credible profession.
You may want an independent practice, consulting assignments, workshops or an additional professional capability.
Image Consultants can work across personal appearance, professional presence, styling, wardrobe, grooming, etiquette and image-related training interventions.
Personal style, colour, body shape, grooming, wardrobe evaluation, closet organisation, smart shopping and image makeovers.
Professional appearance, executive presence, personal branding, business etiquette and workplace image interventions.
Personal shopping, bridal styling, fashion retail styling, media styling, event styling and related services.
Personal branding, professional presence, corporate grooming and greater visibility across digital and social platforms are expanding the relevance of professional image services.
