Image Consultation

"What I want is for each person I work with to ultimately feel truly confident, individual and very much themselves - as they had imagined they could be." - Toshiko Kobatake of Talking Image

'How to Sell Yourself' Chrissy B Show (Sky 203)

Here is a snippet of Toshiko conducting an image consultation. Through her analysis, see how she can help you to bring out your assets, to boost your confidence and to be able to communicate correctly without having to verbally explain to people about yourself.

Total Image Consultation consists of three stages:

• Colour Analysis

• Bodyline and Style Analysis

• Personal Branding - Personality and Lifestyle Analysis 

Colour Analysis - Tonal Method

This defines the colours that most enhance your natural colourings, i.e. your skin, hair and eyes. We use a method called the "Tonal Method" to distinguish which of the 78 colour patterns you are. With the help of natural sunlight and over 120 coloured fabric drapes, we will find the colour tones that suit you best. This will help you choose the right colours and shades of colour for your clothes, and will also help when you select cosmetics, hair colour, nail varnish, accessories and even watches and glasses.

Bodyline and Style Analysis

Bone structure does not change whether we put on weight or lose it. When you begin to understand your unique bone and body structure, you will learn how to accentuate the positive, find clothes that suit your shape and learn how to create the silhouette that most appeals to you. In a way it's like having a fresh look at yourself. The results will surprise you.

"Top to toe" styling tools will also be used for an immediate visual understanding of the type of cuts and lines that will compliment you.  

Personal Branding - Personality and Lifestyle Analysis - finding the real YOU

Each one of us is an individual with our own distinct style. Sometimes we lose track of what our real thoughts are because we are so busy surviving. We may lose sight of our own ideals, dreams and goals. When you get a greater understanding of your true personality and your ideas, you will rediscover your real image. It might have been there all the time without you realising it. By analysing your personality and ideas, you will be able to work the real you. How you live your life and where you work (your environment) often defines what clothes you are most happy wearing and what fits with your own self image. We help you through each step of the way.
