Print selection encapsulates every aspect of the balance between a client’s personal characteristics and her clothing. That makes them a challenge for her to choose well... and the Ultimate Vehicle to showcase your styling expertise. Whether in a presentation to prospects, in a dressing room or an individual closet, demonstrating the differing impact between an ideal print and a poor one is always a powerful sales tool for our image consulting services.

Join us to explore how harmonious colour temperature, value, intensity and repetition, contrast levels, motif shapes and placement, print scale and fabrication come together in prints that put your client in the spotlight. And see how prints that lack that harmony – even if they are lovely themselves – end up visually devouring your client instead. We'll also explore print placement on the body and using an optimal print to imply a capsule colour scheme.
