(Jenny Cutler, MD of ImageCounts commenting on Toshiko's personal shopping)

Toshiko is a truly international women of exceptional taste and style. She knows London better than most Londoners.

(Peta Heskell, The Flirt Coach)

Toshiko is an image consultant and it shows. I was delighted by her amazing sense of dress and wanted to rip her suit from her back and take it home. It was so gorgeous. She obviously has a real feel for design and image.

Comments from clients:

(Female working in Kabul, 20s, Image Consultation - a present from her fiancé) 

Toshiko! Thank you so much for my profile report. I've read the report and it is excellent - tells me so much what I did not know about myself and helps me think clearly about where I want to be 5 years down the line. I very much enjoyed our time together and hope that we can perhaps go and do some shopping together as well. I wanted to let you know that I bought my wedding dress. I'm thinking of having my hair loosely tied and light make-up. I'd love to hear of your suggestions if any come to your mind when you see the dress. We're back in England in a few months so will definitely drop you an email then.

（Housewife & mother of one, Female, 20s, Image Consultation)

My dream (to have an image consultation) came true after three years and I really enjoyed the consultation. I also received my profile report, thank you. I shall refer to it when I go shopping. I look forward to seeing you again.   

(Fund Management, Male, 30s, 365 Plan-Silver)

Hi Toshiko, I received the trousers yesterday and look forward to getting my hands on the other items. I think we really achieved a lot with the purchases. In the past I've often come home feeling like I haven't really got value for money and that I've spent a lot for quite a little. And while on this occassion I spent far more than I have ever done previously in one day, I definitely feel I have in every case made valuable additions to my wardrobe - thank you. I have already devised a strategy for approaching my next four shopping days and will get in touch when I am ready to go for round two.

(Accountant, Male, 40s, Colour Analysis)

Toshiko, Thank you for sending through the report earlier in the week, I found the whole experience extremely useful and look forward to putting it into use on my next shopping trip. It was also good to meet you last Sunday. Thank you again.

(Coach, Female, 40s, Compact Course & Personal Shopping)

Thank you so much Shopping Goddess! I could easily do it once a week!

(Lawyer, Female, 40s, Image Consultation)

Thanks for the very interesting session today. I think I learnt quite a lot from you, which I am definitely going to try to put into practice.

(GP, Female, 40s, Image Consultation, Wardrobe Planning & Personal Shopping - a birthday present from her husband) 

From husband:

I am pleased to confirm that my wife had a fantastic time. She found your support and assistance invaluable, and was very pleased with what she purchased. My wife looks fantastic in her new clothes; I am a very lucky man. You have clearly been very successful in what you specifically selected for her and how you managed to challenge her comfort zone. Many, many thanks for what you have done - I firmly believe that my wife now walks a foot taller!

From client:

Dear Toshiko, Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your advice and help on our shopping trip last week. I feel it was very successful - and as my husband has already emailed, he is very pleased too! I hope I can use your advice to its fullest from now on. With warm wishes and heartfelt thanks.

(Financial Services, Female, 30s, Image Consultation)

Thank you very much for such an amazing day - I had loads of fun and really enjoyed the session. It has been immensely helpful to me to understand the geometry aspects of my body line and face shape and the colour analysis has already been hugely beneficial to me, I have had several colleagues compliment me on my make up and tops during the past two days. The session really boosted my confidence and your warm, kind and very knowledgeable approach to the session made my day. It has been a real pleasure meeting you, no doubt I will be in touch in the future again.

(British Executive working in China, Female, 40s, Image Consultation & Personal Shopping) 

Toshiko, many thanks for your help today. I ended up achieving much more than I expected and that was entirely due to your help and advice. I'm sure that I'll get great use out of all my purchases. The rest of my journey went very smoothly with my items waiting for me at Liberty's and then a taxi to LHR. I think I'll sleep well tonight!

(Wealth Manager, Male, 40s, Image Consultation)

Dear Toshiko, Thank you for my image profile. This is most useful. I found your consultation to be most informative and useful too and the fact that you have a City background made the consultation even more apposite. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you again later this year.

(Leading Global Real Estate Service Provider, Corporate Presentation)

Toshiko, thank you so much for your input into our admin rep day yesterday. I felt that your presentation gave just the right end to the day and certainly gave some food for thought. I'm definitely going to look through my wardrobe at the weekend and send some of the older items to the charity shop. I hope you enjoyed the session and felt that you got the right response from people.

(Marketing Director, Female from Geneva, 40s, Image Consultation)

Hi Toshiko, thank you very much, it was lovely meeting you. I had a lovely stay in England, thank you. And there was a result! After having spent a bit of time in the food hall...(of course) I managed to drag myself up to higher floor levels and got on with some shopping. It was easier and I could do it with more confidence which helped a lot. Guess what - I even bought a high neck PINK-ish/purple-ish jumper!!! Next step is to actually wear it but I WILL! I also bought some chunky necklaces and earrings from the jewellery shop you recommended - what a great shop! Thank you so much for all your advice!

(Entertainment, Female, 40s, Image Consultation)

Thank you I enjoyed my time with you very much. You won't believe but as I turned out of your road, I saw a purple cardigan/jacket in a shop window with a scalloped edge. I stopped the car, went in and purchased. It looks very nice on and matches one of the swatches.

(Going Back to Work, Female, 40s, Image Consultation, Wardrobe Planning & Personal Shopping)

My image consultation and wardrobe planning gave me the clarity on my style that I could have done with decades ago! How much money I could have saved, how much more wardrobe fun I could have had. Toshiko's analysis has helped me view my body and wardrobe afresh and the new investment in me has been invigorating and exciting. I had a day shopping with Toshiko to consolidate my learning and locate retail outlets to suit me best and it fulfilled the brief and more because I discovered amazing clothes that I would not have previously tried on. This whole process has been great fun and a bit magical, I really did not know I could look this good! Toshiko is charming and I have had the best time.

(HR Manager, Female, 30s, Personal Shopping present from her partner)

Hi Toshiko, thank you for today. Love the clothes and so does my partner. He also really likes the white shirt from that boutique. Dresses and trousers have gone down really well. Thank you so much. You picked great clothes.

(Music Teacher, Female, 40s, Image Consultation & Personal Shopping)

Loved the clothes that I bought with you. Got a lot of compliments.

(Flight Attendant, Female, 30s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

Toshiko, thank you very much for all your help and support during my Foundation Course in Image Consultancy. I feel very privileged I got the opportunity to train with you. Your lovely personality and professionalism made it really pleasant and interesting. You are an excellent teacher and mentor. Thank you so much! 

(Housewife, Female, 50s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

You enthused me with your skill and professionalism and have given me the energy to cross the threshold of my dream. I really enjoyed the 10 days in your company and gained enormously. I am so glad that I chose to come to you.

(Intererior Consultant, Female, 30s, Colour Analysis Modular Training)

Really enjoyed the three days with you-I was pleased to discover that there was alot more to 'colour' than one might think. Your training was thorough and clear with good course notes and plenty of practise! I was very impressed with the amount of models used as this proved invaluable to the training. Overall, I feel confident that my new colour analysis skills will be a very good addition to my business offering and hopefully clients will feel the same! 

(Music Producer, Male, 30s, Image Consultation)

Many thanks for your report - it's a valuable tool to have, very helpful to give things some focus and direction. Thanks also for the contacts re hairstyle and tailoring... I am meeting up with someone from the shirtmakers tomorrow when I'm in London as it happens, and I've made an appointment with the tailor. I'd like to have made a copy of that light green jacket and the black striped zipper jacket which I brought along to you - except measured properly for my size.

(Management Consultant & Snowboarder, Male, 20s, Image Consultation & Personal Shopping)

Thanks for sending the profile report. It's great. I will keep on reading it over my life.

(Investment Banker, Female, 30s, Compact Course & Personal Shopping)

Thanks again for the experience. I am very pleased with my wardrobe additions. I am now just working out how to integrate them into my existing wardrobe, but doing okay so far. Do drop me an email in Aug/Sept, so we can plan a autumn/winter shop.

(Company Director, Male, 40s, Wardrobe Planning)

Many thanks for both coming today. It was wonderful and truly uplifting as well as being very valuable!

(Fashion Designer, Female, 40s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

Thank you for being a fantastic teacher and you are just fabulous!

(Housewife, Female, 40s, Compact Course & Personal Shopping present from husband)

I have been enjoying my new clothes and have received a lot of compliments...especially on the shearling jacket. I definitely feel much more in touch with fashion now! Thank you for your help.

(Model, Female, 30s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

Thank you so very much for the last two-weeks training and for helping me so much to discover what my next step is in life....I have thoroughly enjoyed your course and won't forget your patience and calmness during my learning process! Wishing you much success and happiness....

(Health Service, Sisters, 30s, Colour Analysis at Durley House Hotel)

My sister and I had a great time with you on that Friday. We really enjoyed it. We only went to Yo Sushi afterwards at Harvey Nics and then bought some make-up there too. Didn't have the energy to go clothes shopping but I have bought myself a couple of "deep-muted" coloured clothes in Jigsaw recently. I also chose my wedding dress today which I am really pleased with. Thanks again and we hope to be back in the future.

(Company Executive, Female, 50s, Image Consultation)

I really enjoyed our time together and found the experience very useful. I would at some point like to arrange a shopping trip with you but I may leave it until the New Year after I return from Australia. My wardrobe by then will be in dire need of replacing  for the springs/summer. Be in touch.

(IT specialist, Female from Milan, 40s, Tourist Package - a surprise birthday present from her friends who requested a one day pampering trip in London with a chauffeur taking her around boutiques, beauty salon and restaurant)

=Message from one of her friends=

I would like to thank you so much for the great time that my friend had in London and for all the perfect organisation. My friends here were also very, very enthusiastic and happy. Thanks alot. I will keep you in my records for anything else we might require. She bought beautiful things... very very nice... especially the one from the Japanese designer. I love it too!

(Counsellor, Female, 40s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

I thoroughly enjoyed the training course! Toshiko is a very knowledgeable and gifted image consultant. She is also warm, friendly and sincere in wanting her trainees to succeed in practicing image consultancy. I learned a lot and feel confident that I can begin practicing, having required a good grounding in image consultancy. I recommend the course without my reservations, and indeed have already made recommendations to two people. 

(Housewife, Female, 70s, Image Consultation)

I was overwhelmed when my friend said to me, "You're looking gorgeous and very chic these days!" This is thanks to the image consultation that I had with Toshiko. I am a 72 year old grandmother, but I'd like to look and feel beautiful in my own way. Thank you so much.
