CONSULTATION - WHAT TO EXPECT

An initial consultation will always start with Colour Analysis even if you have previously had this done. Our best colours can change over time + exposure to sun, ageing and health issues can also play a factor.
The Colour Analysis takes around 1hr30.
​We won't just identify your best colours. We will discuss your daily life activities and get to know your personality to match your colours and fabrics even more closely. 
We discover whether you are a Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn, but without excluding the additional option of including further tones - Warm, Light, Vibrant, Deep, Cool Ice...
We will also talk about Make up, jewellery and accessories.
Sometimes this consultation is enough to help someone go away and start to play with their identified colour palate. I think it's a great opportunity to go home, look in your wardrobe and even notice your house decor. You may make further realisations!
Then, if you want to delve more deeply, we can book a Styling Session. This can either take place immediately after your Colour Analysis, at a separate occasion or at your home if you are also booking a Wardrobe detox. A styling session blends your Colours with your Personality, Styling Personality, Daily Activities and your Proportions.
We discover:
  • Face shape:oval, round, pear, angular...
  • Styling Personality: dramatic, natural, feminine, artistic, classic...
  • Body Shape (see the fun body map that I sketched out in my early days below)
  • Proportions
I will teach you how to use really easy tricks to create illusions. We will embrace your best assets and help you feel more positive about any possible perceived problem areas. Remember, these 'problems' are what make you unique!

We will delve in to the colour, style, shape and proportion for all of these categories:
Jewellery, Glasses, Hats, Accessories, Buttons, Tops, Bottoms, Skirts, Dresses, Jackets, Coats

Styling takes from 1hr30 - 3hrs.

Many of my clients like to follow these two sessions or combined session with a major wardrobe detox. That's right. I come over to your home and we delve into EVERY rail, drawer, box, pile, mess etc.! We will find the treasures, ditch the 'mistakes', make a pile for Charity, alterations and I'll make sure that you know how to look after the clothes that you are keeping.
We will finish off by creating a shopping list if we have identified any gaps in your new wardrobe.

This journey will help you fall in love with some of your pieces that you always liked, unearth some forgotten treasures and make space for new ones too!

You will not just learn about your best colours and clothing styles, you will learn more about you rather than how the world or loved ones perceive you. 

Book your initial consultation with me now. I also offer an initial free zoom consultation to discuss your requirements and to see if we are a good match.

COLOUR ANALYSIS

Colour Theory
Genetics give us our own unique colouring - skin, hair and eyes. The skin is the largest organ of our body and belongs to the integumentary system along with the hair and eyes. It includes three main pigments: Melanin, Carotene and Haemoglobin. We believe that tones are maintained unless impacted by poor health and sun exposure.

Colour & Light
Isaac Newton demonstrated that light is the source for us seeing colours. It is an energy which travels in waves. We do not see light unless it is reflected off an object. The surface pigments absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflag others, e.g.
  • a red dress absorbs blue/green and reflects red
  • a yellow shirt absorbs blue and reflects red/green
  • a black top absorbs almost all light and reflects very little
Our skin, eyes and hair also interact with light.
During the consultation, we will be evaluating colour undertones, intensity and depth to discover your best colours - those that you could wear head to toe making you feel and look amazing as well as colours to complement or act as accents to your outfits.

PERSONAL STYLING

Style is the magical blend of personality, unique body shape and colour. We've all seen that person walk into the room and everything looks right about them. For a moment, we want to be them. They may not be the most attractive person and they might not be wearing really expensive, beautiful clothing, but everything works together in beautiful synchronicity.

Discovering our style is both a science and an art. Learning about our own style is a process to be worked on - it is not a one off event!

The personal styling session will focus on visual balance, illusions and harmony using five principles:
  • Line: Lines are used to complement and make corrections to face and body shape in clothing and accessory design lines.
  • Scale: Balancing the face, body shape and personality.
  • Proportion: This involves comparing the relative size and scale of the body vs the 'ideal' using The Golden Mean and Rule of Thirds - 3:5:8.
  • Colour: The use of light and dark colours.
  • Texture: For the use of correcting, creating illusions and enhancing the personality.
