Style Analysis

 

“Vain trifles as they may seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world's view of us.”

-Virginia Woolf


You’ve figured out your colors, now what about your lines? If you’ve ever questioned your best patterns or where the hem of your jeans should land, Personal Image Analysis is a deep dive into the styles that work for your body type.

I work with a Kibbe-based image system, which features ten different archetypes. These archetypes are variations on the Romantic, Classic, Gamine, Natural, and Dramatic body types. Each archetype has its own comprehensive guidelines for silhouette strategy, proportion and scale, patterns, design details, and more. However, I’m a big believer that the archetypes are only a starting point. Your style is your own, and learning your archetype is simply a springboard for making more informed decisions - including when and how to “break the rules.”

Image analysis can be performed at any weight. Your archetype itself will not change with weight gain or loss, even if significant. While the basic guidelines of your archetype will remain the same even with weight changes, you may need to make adjustments to how you implement those guidelines. I can help with this. If you know that your weight tends to fluctuate, let me know and we can discuss your options at length.

In advance of your image analysis, I’ll ask you to email me some specific types of photos and information so that I can prepare for your appointment and construct your personalized recommendations.

During your PIA, we will review your Feature Analysis, the guidelines for your archetype, and the personalized recommendations I’ve prepared for you. There will be also plenty of time for Q&A. After your session, you’ll receive lifetime access to your archetype’s resource page, as well as your typed personalized recommendations.

Personal image analysis is only offered virtually at this time.
