My task here was to help Katie look presentable and classy for a charity event in London related to her work. This is very challenging for Katie, wearing a uniform daily and looking natural for her work. Where does she start?

On the left, you can see an example of what we provide to the client after analysing their bodies. Everything is explained in detail. On the right is what I selected online for Katie for the event.

We started by finding out what matters to Katie and nailing her values. From that, we could then communicate those messages with the colours she wears, the styles, and how she comes across.

We evaluated her shape and colours and gave her feedback on her make-up and hairstyle.

I then did an online shop looking for the perfect outfit for the day and was so excited to see this dress from Scarlett and Jo.

What a transformation! She looks beautiful and so happy!

“Thank you so much! Your help made such a difference - I could relax, enjoy myself and be professional. It was an excellent day; I made some exciting contacts and felt amazing in my dress. I am saving up for some more Maggi Magic!” Katie Gentle
