Become a Style Consultant: Role and Responsibilities

In a world where individuality is celebrated and fashion is a powerful means of self-expression, the role of a style consultant has emerged as a significant and sought-after profession. Style consultants play a pivotal role in helping individuals discover their unique style, build confidence, and navigate the often bewildering world of fashion. In this article, we will delve into the role and responsibilities of a style consultant, shedding light on how this profession empowers people to look and feel their best.

The Style Consultant's Mission:

Style consultants are more than just fashion enthusiasts; they are the guiding light that helps clients unlock their personal style, making fashion work for them in a way that aligns with their lifestyle and personality. Their mission is to empower clients to feel confident and comfortable in their clothing choices, presenting their best selves to the world.

Understanding Client Needs:

The first and foremost responsibility of a style consultant is to understand their clients' needs, preferences, and aspirations. This involves conducting in-depth consultations, asking questions, and actively listening to the client's desires and concerns. It's all about building a strong client-consultant relationship based on trust and open communication.

Personalized Styling:

Once the style consultant has a comprehensive understanding of the client's objectives, they curate personalized styling recommendations. This includes suggesting clothing items, accessories, and overall looks that complement the client's body shape, coloring, and lifestyle. The aim is to create a wardrobe that reflects the client's unique personality and goals.

Wardrobe Analysis:

One of the key roles of a style consultant is to perform a thorough evaluation of the client's existing wardrobe. This process helps identify pieces that are no longer suitable, items that can be repurposed, and gaps that need to be filled. By optimizing the client's current wardrobe, style consultants reduce fashion waste and encourage sustainability.

Personal Shopping Assistance:

For many clients, the thought of navigating stores or online shops can be overwhelming. Style consultants often accompany clients on shopping trips, assisting them in selecting the right pieces that align with their personal style and goals. This guidance ensures that clients make informed and confidence-boosting purchases.

Fashion Trends and Advice:

Staying abreast of the latest fashion trends and industry insights is another crucial responsibility. Style consultants need to be well-informed about what's happening in the world of fashion to provide up-to-date advice and recommendations to their clients.

Body Confidence and Image Enhancement:

Style consultants work on enhancing not just the external appearance but also the internal self-esteem of their clients. They provide advice on body confidence and body image, encouraging clients to embrace their unique attributes and celebrate their individuality.

Budget Management:

A significant aspect of style consulting involves helping clients manage their fashion budgets. Style consultants offer guidance on smart spending, helping clients invest in quality pieces that provide long-term value.

Natsuhi/Kumasawa Manifesto

Yes shipping. No not even straight crack, I’m like actually serious! Though I’ll be frank this is mostly going off the wall insane and just doing what I like for fun and profit rather than serious analysis! But if you’re interested…walk with me!

I wish there had been more Natsuhi and Kumasawa interactions. Lesbionically charged ones even. I was thinking about how Kumasawa really stands apart from the rest of the servants as the lone person in Japanese clothes and who also doesn’t really gaf about the Ushiromiya’s like that (and the Ushiromiyas likewise are either really rude to her and/or dgaf). She also is always talking about the original Rokkenjima mythology. It got me thinking about what Natsuhi thinks about her, and if she took special notice of her in the sea of Western things associated with the Ushiromiya’s. Kumasawa is also a seriously minor and under-utilised character considering everything, and I think that’s a shame.

I constantly think about how Natsuhi was supposed to have an affair with Gohda, and I assume it would have gone more into her own desires as an individual outside of her really pitiful life on Rokkenjima. Since here is a guy who is her social lesser, who adores her, and has a distinctly servile nature around her. Like this is a dynamic that is going to appeal to her. I really want to push back against the whole Natsuhi as a tradwife characterisation because I think it ignores that it’s literally a mask that she’s constantly trying to convince herself she’s okay with. She’s a deeply conservative woman, but she clearly yearns for power and respect of her own. Which I think plays well into her conservatism with gender, like how she’s takes such pride in calling herself the representative to the head, and in her fantasies of a supportive Kinzo, he talks about how she would have made a wonderful son-in-law. Like she WANTS to be the one with power, the “man”, even if she’s still an extremely traditionally feminine woman. Like she wants to be of course seen as steady and reliable but also to be supported and doted on (by people beneath her i.e what I think an affair dynamic with Gohda would have been). For her knowledge and contributions to be admired and recognised and seen as valuable. It’s also interesting to contrast her to Eva who is like, outside of family conferences, living as close to her best life as is possible with a husband who respects and defers to her, even if she’s nominally taking the position of his supportive wife. Like everyone recognises her place as the matriarch of her own family. Which is NOT the case with Natsuhi. Who is taking Ls left right and center every single day of her life, emotionally and literally. However I feel like Gohda is too much of an incompetent clown to make her feel like that in an actually successfully or especially compelling manner. I also think he perhaps appeals TOO MUCH to Natsuhi on the surface level, like she’s not exactly questioning that deeply if she likes this refined and servile guy who is around her own age.

And so…enter Kumasawa. Her senior by like 30+ years, lowborn, boorish, vulgar and insubordinate, and with no (visible) special standing (unlike eg. Genji) outside of her long service. But also…BECAUSE of these things Natsuhi would feel very comfortable being, ugly, raw, needy, unreliable around her. Because why should she be ashamed to be those things around someone like Kumasawa! Natsuhi is so far above her it’s inconceivable that she would ever feel unworthy in front of her! It’s just a given! She should be happy to even be spoken to by someone so far above! But the thing is…I think Kumasawa would run rings around her. And has every reason to dislike and look down on Natsuhi, for her cruelty to the servants, her posturing, and clear failure to command the respect of the true master of the house, or even her own husband and daughter. Kumasawa is a very minor character but I like the small insubordinations that peek out, and while she’s generally sympathetic to the suffering of women, Natsuhi can be a real piece of work to the servants eg. Shannon. This can create a fun dynamic where Natsuhi can be needy and unreliable, and be outwardly cruel to Kumasawa but also have a condescending affection to her. And she’s too shortsighted and up herself to even realise Kumasawa feels the same. Or if she does it’s in a I can see you hate me, but that’s okay, because you have no choice anyway. Like a dark reflection of her own entry into the Ushiromiya family. And Kumasawa could see her as this pathetic young (hilarious to write about a 47 year old) thing who is fun to toy with, especially since Natsuhi is always throwing her weight around with the servants. The way that class and gendered dynamics intertwine would be so delicious with these two as well. Natsuhi is the social better, and the Man. Kumasawa is the woman, but not in any way to actually threaten Natsuhi in regards to conventional femininity (she’s an unrefined old biddy after all). Like it’s okay and not conflicting with her conservative values for Natsuhi to act like this because Kumasawa is so beneath her. But also…Kumasawa has 30 years on her and those 30 years are not nothing…I kind of want to see her indulge Natsuhi a bit and spoil her even if (maybe especially if…) condescendingly🙈 especially since Natsuhi’s had to grow up so fast and been forced into this wet blanket wife role. I want to see her be annoying to Kumasawa like Krauss is to her.

Also would be funny since Kumasawa’s personality and habits probably irritate her so much lmfao. Like imagine the phantom thread scene where Alma is chewing really loudly and Woodcock is going insane. Also Kumasawa is the one with real control over the servants, like it’s all Natsuhi has but it’s not even real. I want to see Natsuhi take out her pain but also try to assuage her guilt about The Child Who Would Be Sayo via her. Which is so yummy because Kumasawa’s sins are so much worse! Lol and this affair might be like literally the main outlet for Natsuhi to escape her life, but for Kumasawa who has a whole ass life and family and kids, it’s nothing. This is all not to be uncharitable to Natsuhi but I personally like to see women behaving badly and being flops in their romantic liaisons. I think there’s a fun dark version of Natsuhi where she give into her selfish desires more and kind of channels Kinzo. Like making the choice to position herself with him as a way to escape the miserable pitiful life of a housewife of an unworthy man. Usurp Krauss as Kinzo’s heir instead of trudging along the path to becoming the pitiful perpetually disrespected figure of the person who was Kinzo’s wife/ Krauss’ mother. Anyway now this is making me think a lot of a NATSUHI-Beatrice Forgery where she gets masc’d up and Kinzo-like HAHAHAHA.

i haven't stopped thinking about kirukei getting married since you mentioned it, what kind of wedding attire do you think they'd end up wearing? like would they go for the more modern stuff or stick with traditional kimonos? ( also, if they need floral arrangements, i know a guy— )

actually smiled sooo wide at this ask HEHE you have no idea...

i think they would prefer western wedding attire for the ceremony itself, mostly because it'd make things easier for the reception [you already know that dancefloor is going to HATEEE to see kiru coming], but i can absolutely see them doing their engagement photoshoot in more traditional attire! i feel like keiko in particular would be very excited about getting the chance to wear a shiromuku ^__^

i do really like the idea of kuroba doing the floral arrangements for the ceremony, i dont think they would trust anyone else to take care of that all things considered. so i can see that for sure!! also as a little bonus, heres a few little doodles of the planning phase of everything, just because i keep getting little skit ideas for this phase of things LOL

if more people knew Herstory (aka 2004 season and sete&vale) so many questions wrt 2015 season(mostly “why would vale….”) would immediately be answered addfghjk like guysssss guyssssss

it is kinda funny that there's a simple cheat code out there to understanding most of valentino's career but it's just about long enough ago that most people simply... ignore it. like there's a three year span that more or less tells you what you need to know about him. it's like you say! pretty much every possible "why would vale..." secretly has a straightforward answer, and 9/10 it's something that was established in 2003 to 2005. simple as

if anything it's almost annoying because it's too easy. the 2004/2015 stuff in particular is incredibly funny. oh, so you say you have a controversial last lap at assen where valentino beat a rival in direct combat and said rival reacted surprisingly poorly, making valentino reevaluate his relationship with the rival? might that tell you something about how a seed of suspicion once sown can remain dormant for months until valentino is given cause to revisit it? valentino quite literally says in his biography that he could never have hated biaggi because he wasn't a friend and didn't have the power to hurt him... the sepang pressers thing is genuinely just silly, I know this is mainly a function of when they happen in the calendar but what a bizarre coincidence. 2015 is like a slightly more opaque funhouse mirror version of 2004 - but so many of the major beats are virtually identical. which means you've got a season Out There where a younger less experienced less guarded less cynical valentino basically walks you through his internal processes so you get a really good handle of what his deal is. he's piecing together his identity as a competitor going forwards in real time - and then in 2015 he just reminds you of what exactly that identity involves. it's a reaffirmation and not a departure... he's not that inscrutable after all, in the end

rating h2o award show outfits!

h2o was won several awards and been nominated for quite a few. let’s take a stroll down memory lane and discuss the fashion of the time!

ok disclaimer. these are just my opinions!! you can have different ones. it’s cool.

🐬 2007 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

It’s hip it’s fresh it’s not too serious. I like all the makeup but especially Claire’s, it’s really working with the hairstyle. the patterns are horrendous but I appreciate the color now compared to what we see down the line.

Overall it’s a 5/10

🐬 2008 AFI Awards

a very iconic award show! i love phoebe’s dress + matching jewelry. the necklace and bracelet look like pearls, so it’s on brand for the show she’s nominated for. i don’t like cariba’s dress. the cut is awkward as well as the belt, and i don’t love the shade of purple. brittney’s is ok but the handbag not matching is killing me. angus’ is… well it’s a suit! he looks good and also like every other man at an awards show. Indiana is serving that ceasar flickerman hair flawlessly.

6.8/10 the uncoordination and cariba’s dress lower this score for me

🐬2008 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

oh dear god. what is going on here?? I’ve been trying to figure it out for years. Did they not have stylists at this point? I don’t understand the gray at alllll. The weird ruffles/rouching, if you can even call it that, repulses me. hate the medieval times ass belt. The outfits are so ugly they make the hairstyles look good. And I’ve never liked the makeup either, I just feel like it doesn’t suit them at all. ALSO THE SHOES?? WHAT. I’ve just noticed phoebes chunky bracelets too..

1/10 because I struggle to find anything good to say about these looks

🐬 2009 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

Cariba’s outfit reminds me of that twink dog from barbie in a fashion fairytale. Anyways it really missed the mark. The weird shoulders and denim shorts are not it. I feel like the bow could be cute with a dress? Idk but none of her looks hit.

Angus is casual, I feel like this outfit would do numbers on early 10s tumblr.

Jaime’s is also just too casual

4/10 just doesn’t feel like award show outfits

I’ll be reblogging this post with part two !!

[longlostlorian]

possible new cover for fahah!

[cigarettedolly13]

Ngl rainbow should start hiring Winx Club fans to design the girls outfits bc so many of the fan designs I’ve seen for the winx girls outfits have been 10x better at capturing the actual aesthetic/essence of Winx Club while still modernizing them to keep up with current fashion than the actual reboot designs.

hi nina!! can we plz see some of the char sheet youre doing?

AWWWW!!!! this is so sweet, omg. ;-; <3

i fucking LOVE character sheets sm; it is a relic from when i first broke into writing online and used to tumblr rpg ( cringe ). i just feel like they really help you see and understand your characters and figure out what they look like, how they act, what their motivations are, etc.

but yes!!!! i spend a lot of time on them and i haven't had a lot of time...recently, so i haven't been able to work on the ones i have for The Nasty Nina Boys From ( Fine As ) Hell, but you can have this little section i started on appearance in the ravenstan one ( he has been on my mind a lot lately, i srsly love him so much, he's my baby )

i'll drop it under the cut for you <3
