3/22/2018 0 Comments What is an Image Consultant?Professional stylist and image consultant. I'm not into the personal shopper aspect of my training. Too many broke folks, or on such a small budget they want my resources and knowledge but don't want to pay. As far as professional stylist, add the word pinup or vintage, and we're good. Image consultant as well, add pinup. The biggest issue I find with image consultanting, and pro stylist, is clients who have no real clue what those positions entail. A personal shopper, shops for the garments the client requests, aka needs. This means, their personal taste is heavily involved. As well as their wardrobe needs and budget. It's not at all about my opinion on what they need to create a solid pinup look, to become marketable, or developing skills within pinup that include wearing wardrobe that flatters them. At my pinup academy gals choose garments that are unflattering to their body type, havd 1960's makeup for a 1950's shoot, do facial expressions and poses that don't fit the era, aren't using the right makeup, aren't wearing the right under garments, etc. A personal shopper is only concerned and focused on the clients budget and list of items needed. A stylist is paid to style a certain era. They can be hired by a model, photographer, or producer. An image consultant, knows where to shop, what items are needed, and is looking at the entire picture. What era's, what exact styles, as well as what a model needs to create a solid pinup look. Well in my case, it's pinup. An image consultant may or may not be a stylist. However they have resources in every aspect needed to create looks. They are more in-depth about what you need to change, alter, eliminate, or add, to succeed at your goals, that involve fashion. An image consultant is not just to help you shop, not just to style your hair and or wardrobe. They are to tell you exactly what styles are needed, this means everything hair, make up and clothing, to achieve your goals. This could mean creating several biz attire looks, or red carpet attire, pinup wardrobe staples and complete outfits for photo shoots. You hire a personal shopper, they'll help you find the items you desire, on your budget, in your size. You hire a professional stylist, they will style you in whatever style hair, makeup and clothing you, the photographer or company wants. When you hire an image consultant, they do all the above, and have expertise in creating solid looks, changing your look, not just to enhance your wardrobe, not just to enhance your styling, but to enhance your overall look, to accommodate your career goals.
