1. Look the Part
LIFESTYLE EVALUATION FOR APPROPRIATE IMAGE
This module equips
you with the knowledge to choose an Appropriate attire
as per your role, goal and occasion.
Here
we try and gauge a detailed and precise idea of the client’s lifestyle. We
evaluate the everyday instances and occasions in the client’s life and what is
important for him/her to achieve his/her goals.
With this clinic, we
seek to understand a person’s lifestyle choices and his/her unique personality,
on the basis of which further recommendations regarding clothing and other
Image elements can be made.
In
today’s competitive era, it is essential to look the part. Dress as you want to
be Addressed!!
Many
a times, promotions in the corporate world are restrained if justice is not
done to self-presentation. Appropriate dressing is all about understanding the
messages that need to be conveyed keeping in mind your roles, goals and
occasions. This session guides the client through effective use of the
International Style Scale to understand and use the language of clothes.
2. Personal Style
YOUR AUTHENTIC STYLE!
Every person is unique, has unique choices and preferences! These preferences are influenced by the person’s background / exposure and lifestyle. Every person thus portrays a unique sense of style. In this module, we will identify your authentic personal style, a style you are most comfortable in, being yourselves.
We
all try to fit in, with the workplace or society environment, but may feel
uncomfortable or out of place if it includes not being your authentic self. The
aim would thus be to remain authentic and genuine in your choices, yet keeping
in mind its appropriateness to the role, goal or occasion.
Evaluation
of your unique personal style will be done by detailed analysis charts,
studying your propensity to the different elements of design, your physical
characteristics and your personality characteristics. Once identified, we equip
our clients to use their personal style and recommend changes if required to
suit your roles and goals.

5. Wardrobe Audit, Closet Organization - The Art of Clustering:
WARDROBE CAPSULING
If
you’ve ever opened your closet, looked at hoards of hangers and thought, “I
have nothing to wear”, we are the ones who can solve this conundrum for you,
and that too, for good!
We
now take a peep into your wardrobe to see what works for you, what may work for
you and what will not work for you at all! Having a terrific wardrobe need not
be a confusing or an expensive affair if you resort to investing in a ‘Wardrobe
Capsule’.
We
help you create Wardrobe capsules or clusters (a group of clothes that work
with each other) with your existing wardrobe and identify what needs to be
acquired to add-on to those clusters or even build new clusters. A ‘cluster’ or
a ‘capsule wardrobe’ is a small group of coordinated clothing and accessories
that are easy to mix and match, and provide individuality, versatility and
economy. Clustering is a concept that smart professionals should use to save
time and money. A well-planned cluster gives you enough variety of looks to fit
different needs. A basic 5 piece cluster (eg. 3 tops and 2 bottoms) can give
approx 12 different outfits.
In
the process, we identify items that go on your shopping list!
The
result is a beautifully organized wardrobe, with great visibility and
accessibility; and some choicest combinations of outfits, all from your own
possessions – Putting your resources to their best use!
