What is Image Consulting?

Many people think that Image Consulting is just another name for fashion styling. This is NOT the case. Let me start off by clarifying the difference:

An Image Consultant addresses the FOOT, while a Fashion Stylist addresses the SHOE. 

In short, an Image Consultant is a professional who advises individuals, groups and/or corporations on appearance, behavior and communications. 

Examples of services that an I.C. can offer are:

-Color analysis
-Body analysis
-Wardrobe/closet/accessory analysis
-Personal shopping
-Etiquette and protocol
-Presentation skills
-Body language
-Hair and Makeup. 

A stylist focuses more on current trends, where an I.C. focuses on incorporating a person's individual style with what is appropriate for their everyday lives.
