Global Image Group | Personal Shopper | Image Consultant

San Francisco, CA (August 25, 2010) – Just as “every house needs a solid foundation” it is essential that “every woman has the correct bra for her specific body shape.” Selecting the right underwear and shape-wear for your specific body type makes all the difference in how your clothes fit and lay against your body. Surprisingly an overwhelming high percentage of women are wearing ill-fitting bras and undergarments. Personal Shoppers and Image Consultants are experts in determining the correct fit to build a successful outfit from the inside out.

Selecting the appropriate bra size and style that is designed for your specific body proportion can transform your outfit from average to amazing. The right undergarments will lift your bust, elongate and slenderize your waist and give you an overall sharper and cleaner silhouette.  Does your bra cut into your back and create that dreaded back fat?  Consider shape-wear that covers your body from your bust to your backside to give a smooth finish around your waist and midriff while also fully supporting your bust.   Those of you who feel you do not have a waistline worthy of notice will be surprised by what a great fitting bra or shape-wear can do for you!

There are so many styles of bra’s to choose from and selecting just the right one can often be a daunting process.  For more support, chose a bra with wider shoulder straps and wider side straps to give more support to the bust area while smoothing out the back.  Image Consultants understand that different body types require different design and support detailing. Today’s construction of underwear is designed to be comfortable, provide support, and also make you feel sexy.

Global Image Group personal stylists and personal shoppers are experts in dressing our clients from undergarments to outer garments.  Learn to avoid “VPL,” (visible panty lines) and exposed bras straps.  As professionals in our field we ensure that we assist you in handpicking the right undergarments for your specific body type from the vast array of shape-wear and undergarment styles available on the market.  We also work to ensure the undergarments are compatible with the items in your closet.  There is nothing more frustrating then having a much loved article of clothing that just hangs in the closet because one does not have the right bra for a plunging v-neck or backless dress to wear it with confidence.

New York, NY (August 5, 2010) - Our job as image consultants at Global Image Group is to provide you with maximum wardrobe options to enhance your lifestyle, career and vibrant personality.  Our New York personal shoppers will teach you how to get the look you want now using the LBD – the little black dress.  Learn how one classic little black dress offers endless styling options for the corporate professional to the chic socialite.

New York image consultant, Michelle T. Sterling, transforms one timeless LBD into a week’s worth of looks by incorporating a few key pieces that you already have in your closet.  Whether you’re presenting at a corporate meeting, powering through your to-do list at work, networking at a cocktail party, or heading to that rock concert you bought tickets to months ago, do it in style with a classic little black dress.

To create a business professional look with your LBD, layer it with a classic black blazer and a multi-strand pearl necklace.  Finish the look with closed-toe classic pumps, such as the Christian Louboutin Prorata Pump.

Using the same classic LBD, you can transform your look from professional day to ultra chic night simply by switching up a few key style elements.  Exchange the corporate blazer for a sexy leather jacket, and keep the pearls but layer them with a darker, chunky necklace for a harder edge.  Take off those conservative shoes and slip on a pair of strappy platform pumps in an eye-popping red.  Grab a handbag with a chain strap or flashy hardware to compliment the zipper from you jacket.  Within a New York minute, you’re ready for a New York City night.

Global Image Group personal shoppers will teach you how to shop for the LBD you can wear for years to come.  The right LBD is an investment piece that will never go out of style which you can easily adapt to the occasion.  Create a classic look, business casual look, sassy look, and a rocker look using jackets, shoes, handbags and jewelry you already own or can shop for today.

Our New York image consultants will help you choose the best accessories and layering items based on your budget, career and lifestyle needs.  Watch this video to learn what a Global Image Group personal shopper can teach you today about the LBD in your closet.

London, England (30 July, 2010) –The boys about London are certainly making an impression with their bright gingham shirts, blue jeans and brown shoes. Whether in sporty, Sperry top siders, the current trend, or in an updated distressed, classic oxford – the look is certainly revitalizing the Brooks Brothers market in the U.S. while making Thomas Pink more popular than ever worldwide. How could you be an English man without your cuff links?

The classics are back with a modern twist on style. Select a fit of shirt or jeans suitable for your body type. The leaner you are, the more tailored your clothing can be. However extremely tight or obsurdly loose clothing is never suitable for anyone. The key to clothing fit is moderate ease.

London, England (28 July, 2010) – Our London Personal Shoppers and Image Consultants have travelled all over the world and noted that the sexiest women who catch any man’s eye not just once but twice are wearing a Herve Leger dress, or the likes of it. Wear a monochromatic look, sexy yet classy from your head to your toes, that showcases the length of your body and add a pop of colour in your clutch to suit your personality. Whether you tuck the clutch under your arm or hold it in your hand, his eye will be drawn to the area where it is placed on your body.

Our London Personal Shoppers and Image Consultants have also noted that men are most successful in attracting women when wearing a sexy black shirt and well-fitting jeans. From Europe, to the US, and to Asia, all men of style must have a go-to tailored, black shirt in their closet. Pair this outfit with black designer fashion trainers for a more relaxed look or sleek, black boots for a more polished look. And of course accessories always pull an outfit together.  Therefore if you’re wearing designer shoes, wear a designer belt and watch too.  Women take note of these subtle details as should you.
