Earlier this year, I had the absolute pleasure of working with a private client who happened to be an interior designer. We scheduled a session to dive into the topic of dressing to flatter her figure. And when I opened up this conversation, as I always do, I explained that a major component to dressing well is incorporating some basic design principles. Her eyes lit up and I saw a lightbulb go off. She had never thought about applying her interior design skills to the art of creating outfits.
Now, to be fair, people often assume that as an image consultant, I’m great with interior design. But I really don't feel like that’s the case. I can pinpoint what I like and I can recreate spaces in my home based on a design sample I see. But I’m NOT an interior designer –at all. There are plenty of nuances to that field that I would need to study. Just like my client still had a lot to uncover about image consulting.
I would equate this to any field. A doctor can’t be a phenomenal heart surgeon and pediatrician and orthopedist even though they all start with the same basic training in anatomy. They had to begin by taking a lot of the same classes and fundamentals and then they specialized. It was the same way for my client and me. But when she realized she could apply many of the design principles she uses every day in her interior design application, it all started to come together.
Today, I want to share some of those same tips with you and offer up 3 of my favorite design principles to use when getting dressed. Whether you’re an artist or a designer or this is the first time you’re hearing these concepts, I have a feeling this will completely revolutionize the way you think about putting your outfits together!
