In the fashion industry trends come and go every season. While following the current trend is fun, a professional image is not built on trends. I teach individuals how to create an image that is established by a "working wardrobe." A "working wardrobe" is founded upon a five basic principles - your figure type, defining your personal style, analyzing your existing closet and shopping habits, building a wardrobe on a few key items and finally coordinating your new look.
