The Stylemap Method is a thoroughly researched and curated approach to discovering your most authentic style. Style is a complex expression of self.
Your ideal style isn't just about wearing what you feel like, as there are certain IMMUTABLE traits to consider, such as your colouring, bone structure and height.
However, what you feel like is also important to consider, since you possess more MUTABLE traits, such as how you express your personality and energy, which usually shifts and evolves over time.
The Stylemap Method begins by analysing your more IMMUTABLE traits and maps out your style options down to your most MUTABLE traits. When these results are combined, you gain foundational style options that can be adapted to create a style with signature elements that evolve over time.
After exploring and researching every style system I could find, I have distilled my findings to develop a style system that, I believe, is complete and effective.
The Colour ID results are more individualised than Seasonal Colour Analysis (The goal is to find your perfect colours, rather than your best 'set' of colours).
The Style ID and Body ID categories offer an accurate analysis, based on the original Kibbe system, that offer more tailored results.
The MBTI Style Personality analysis adds an extra dimension to your style, helping you understand how you can best express your personality, visually.
The Style Archetype analysis allows you to identify which specific archetypal energies you are expressing now and how to express this through your style.
If you're interested in learning some steps but not others, the Stylemap system can still provide the information you seek. The steps do not have to be followed rigidly and can be used interchangeably, if you wish.
However, for me, the magic happens when we take the time to synthesise all the information in the results with our lifestyle, values and goals. I love to see a client utilising all the elements and finding their own style emerge, almost effortlessly. You, too, can use the Stylemap to find your own unique expression of personal style.
