Your Personal Style is an image management guide that will help readers match their personalities
to their outward expression of clothing. Unlike other image management books
that begin by dictating general rules about body type and coloring, this book will use
personality and lifestyle assessment as a point of departure for guiding readers towards
establishing a style that is truly their own. The author uses an active learning approach
that allows readers to learn first-hand what a fashion consultant does as well as gain an
intimate knowledge of how the design and fashion merchandising industry best suits its
client. Students in wardrobe planning courses will be able to obtain a basic understanding
of their own fashion sense by following the guidelines outlined in this book. Fashion
entrepreneurs can immediately apply this book’s exercises to their own business. Image
professionals constantly seeking to expand their knowledge in wardrobe planning can
utilize their talents in conjunction any or all of the material found within these pages.
Your
Personal Style is packed with fashion tips and will serve as a handy reference guide for the
student and professional alike.
