Course description

When it comes to style, it’s all about you. How you work it, how you own it. What inspires you, what suits you. In a practical sense, how you narrow down an avalanche of options to only those who work for your body, your personality, your colouring, your life.

Back in the fitting room, we all struggle with the very basic question of what looks right on us. To help you clear up any of your fashion frustrations, this course will teach you everything: from choosing your colours and dressing for your age to knowing your own shape and building a great wardrobe.
