I’ve always loved fashion. We, humans, are a visual species and we react to appearances. So much is clear. But what I didn’t know when I was a young girl, or even as a young woman, is that it’s not just the exterior that provokes a reaction. The interior, and the way we carry ourselves, play a big part in that as well.
When I was young, I was shy and withdrawn and wanted to express myself, but didn’t know how to. Fashion gave me a way to be seen without using my voice. It was almost a kind of costume or an armor, and it helped me to be more confident. Fashion, and the way I expressed myself through it, helped grow my self-confidence. I was good at something, good at creating different & interesting looks. It influenced the way I was being perceived, and how I saw myself, and I started to believe in myself.
Now, as an adult, I appreciate fashion even more. It’s ever-changing, it renews, surprises and sometimes even shocks. It can empower a person to the extent of having the confidence to take on the world!
For me, styling means creating a look that reflects me the best, a look I feel comfortable and confident in. I can achieve that, by choosing the right clothes for my body type and my style. It has almost become a fun game, a challenge, to put together an outfit from different pieces and finish off with a wonderful look I love!
But it’s not like this for everyone. Some people wonder how styling can work in their advantage, how to camouflage or to accentuate certain areas of their body. When we don’t understand what works for our bodies and our spirits, or how to project what’s inside of us, we can even start to hide behind our appearance, which is such a shame. You can be seen and you are allowed to shine.
That’s where my expertise comes in. After successfully completing my education at the International Institute for Image consulting in Paris (IDRI), I am here to help you discover the colors that flatter your complexion, the cuts that complement your body, and how to optimize your wardrobe so your true self can shine.
I will listen to you very carefully, to make sure to hear and understand your needs & wishes and translate them into recommendations, personalized for you, to benefit you the most.
Yours truly,
Denise
