Why I love Image Consulting

 Born and bread in a small town in the Eastern Cape I have always loved clothes and was very strick on things like manners. Image is so much more than clothes and, I can assist people from all spheres of life, in feeling good about themselves, restoring their confidence and feeling like who they want to be. I can assist them in feeling good in their own skin, not necessarily changing them, but only making them feel and look better in themselves.

Image can also open you up to other areas of life as a whole, in which you had no interest in, such as being more open to fashion and trends, without necessarily being a top notch fashionista, just being aware of what is happening around you (trends) and how to make it work for you.

Fashion and physique

First, a clarification. To say “I love fashion” is much like saying “I love dogs,” or “I love democracy.” To love democracy is not to love it at all times and under every banner, like, say, when the wrong man wins the popular vote. And loving dogs does not mean smiling through a mauling. Fashion has many dark edges, many contemptible characters shuffling through its ranks, and, at the end of the day, you may believe it possesses neither the soul of art nor the spirit of good faith—that it is, in effect, the glorification of merchandise. And who wants to live in a wilderness of handbags and pleated drop-sleeves? Most of us who survive on our wits have been taught to distrust capitalism even as we spend a good deal of our time making money. Viewed one way, fashion is glamorous capitalism. It has also been blamed for eating disorders, the devaluation of religion, coded rape fantasies, the collapse of meaning, the rise of a superficial generation, the death of subculture, the feminization of men, and the emasculation of women (though, for the record, so has rock ’n’ roll). We are wary of paying for instant character, and rightfully so. But what are we left with? Does this mean that we should feel guilty for enjoying clothes designed for us—victims for wanting something new and strange, suckers for advertising—as if we’d be better off wearing raw-cotton jumpsuits so long as they aren’t a big brand.

Etiquette

Etiquette is important because it shows respect. If you speak rudely, you are telling the person that you don't think them worth a little mental effort and don't care about them. In addition, people who show etiquette are much more likely to be taken seriously throughout their lives, especially in their careers and with their acquaintances. Because it is a sign of respect and resembles the way you tend to handle people in your life.
