Colour Analysis
This can be done at my home in West Essex or I can come to you. During the session we will be discovering your colour season and ‘wow’ shades.
It’s really important that our session is exploratory and reciprocal. I don’t want to tell you ‘what you are’, instead I’ll be using subtle guides and markers to help you to see and understand it too.
After the session, I’ll explain what your season means in more detail. I won’t encourage you to empty your wardrobe and makeup bag and start again, but instead we’ll look at how you can introduce these colours in a practical, realistic and stylish way.
Everyone has their own way of understanding and identifying colour and that’s why I provide my clients with a colour swatch and personalised mood-board after our consultation. You might find a Hockney or a Mondrian painting on there, the Quality Street purple, a California skyline or an English country garden. Anything that makes it easier for you to understand and recognise your best shades, patterns and prints, long after our consultation.
Duration: Please allow 75 mins
Dressing for your body shape
Many of my clients choose this after their colour analysis and before the wardrobe edit.
I don’t ask you to provide images, I don’t use a tape measure and I definitely don’t need to see you in your underwear. Instead, I ask you to complete a pre-session questionnaire and we have a chat before meeting in person. With the answers that you provide, I can start to understand your individual shape, which means that our time in-person is as productive and useful as possible.
During our session, I’ll provide you with the tips, tricks and formula to enhance and compliment your shape and we’ll talk about fabrics, cuts and patterns that will work with and for your body.
I believe that feeling stylish and confident starts with feeling comfortable – in our skin, in our jeans and especially in our heels. One of my bugbears is that, as women, we have been encouraged to fit our bodies around the whim and folly of fashion. My advice is to do the opposite – build a wardrobe which fits around you, literally and metaphorically.
Allow 40 mins in-person plus pre-preperation time before our session
Wardrobe Edit
The average person wears only 20-30% of their clothes and this session is about clearing head and wardrobe space to make getting dressed a more straight forward and joyful experience.
This generally takes place after your colour and body shape sessions but can be a stand-alone service. We’ll look at what’s working, what you’re unsure of, what can be retired and what’s missing.
I don’t need to see every item in your wardrobe. Instead, I’ll ask you to complete a pre-session questionnaire, so that I already have a clear idea of your style personality, your body shape, where you like to shop, your lifestyle and whose style you most admire.
This means that when we edit your wardrobe, I’ll know whether your morning routine involves doing the school run or getting the train into the office and whether you’re more Jennifer Lopez or Audrey Hepburn (or neither).
Allow 90 mins in-person
plus pre-preperation time before our session
Group Colour Sessions
Perfect for an intimate get together with friends or family (groups of 3-5).
Dressing for an event
Perfect for wedding and engagement celebrations, bar and bat mitsvahs, milestone anniversaries and proms.
I offer a mini event session with brides, mothers, sisters and chief bridesmaids, helping to find their colour season ahead of the big day.
Finding the bride’s best white, ivory, maroon or pink is a great bonding experience for the bridal party and a lot of fun.
This service is also available to the groom, where we look at the best colours and fabrics for his wedding attire.
