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.

(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.


 

(Luxury Boutique Sales Assistant, Male from Scotland, 19, Image Consultancy Training Course)

It was a fantastic course and totally worth the money. I felt that I have learned a lot from you. You are a great teacher and I was able to absorb and understand what you said with ease. I liked the structure of the course and the way it was approached was very accessible. I must admit that coming from a fashion background I had, for some reason, expected the course to be more fashion based than it was. However, I think that your approach, that of styling the individual for their personal style, was great and I learned to look at things differently - and try to understand what suits a person's body and style rather than trying to adapt and transform them into something that is up to the minute but not necessarily them. I have now adopted this approach into my selling techniques at work and I must say it has worked very well for me - being able to quickly look at someone and determine their bone structure and what is therefore going to work best on them. I have also used this method to better advise customers on how to achieve a balanced look. My sales figures for this last week are testimony to this! Your knowledge on all aspects of it was fantastic and I certainly felt confident that you know what you were talking about. I also much appreciated your advice on how to move forward and on what avenues I can pursue.


 

(Fashion School Student, Female, 30s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

I want to thank you for the training. I would recommend it. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to start working soon.


 

(Dentist, Female from Saudi Arabia, 30s, One Day Personal Shopping)

It was a very nice experience going shopping with you. I enjoyed it and it was very organised. I recommended you to my husband. He will come to London at the end of August. Thank you also for sending me the addresses for the swimwear shops.


 

(Entrepreneur, Male from Cyprus, 30s, Image Consultancy Training Course)

Hi Toshiko, I am back in hot and sunny Cyprus. This is to thank you for your support during the training. You have excellent communication skills and a way to transfer knowledge to people that is unique. I hardly had to go to the manual for help as your tips and the way you structured the course was amazing! Once again thank you and hope to see you soon. 


 

(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.
