What’s an Image Consultation?

Welcome to Global Image Group

We work with clients globally and virtually to meet your image consultation needs as a certified Image Consultant NYC, Personal Stylist NYC, and Personal Shopper NYC.

What is the difference between an Image Consultant NYC, Personal Stylist NYC, and Personal Shopper NYC?

Our image consultants work with ambitious entrepreneurs, C-Level, executive management, and middle management professionals across all industries to define and refine the image they project based on scientific aspects of style – aka. an executive image consultant.  We evaluate your current projected image through your appearance, behavior, and communication styles versus your desired projected image to craft a cultivated image which ultimately should exude authority, trust, credibility, and authenticity for leadership positions. During this image consultation we also address your assets and challenges in order to develop your unique personal brand image.

PERSONAL STYLIST & PERSONAL SHOPPER

Possible Image Challenges & Obstacles and Our Solutions

Imagine you’re a blonde hair, blue-eyed petite woman who is laser sharp, however internal and external stakeholders do not take you seriously. Or perhaps you’re a tall man with dark hair and pale skin with chiseled facial features. Your first impression is unapproachable, however you’re actually an affable guy. These are just two examples where an image consultant could step in to define your style personality and refine your image to achieve your desired personal brand image. After our image consultants provide you with an executive image and style analysis, aka. a Personal Style Analysis, she becomes your personal stylist.

We have a personal stylist NYC, personal stylist DC, and personal stylist Dubai to assist you with your wardrobe styling needs and closet cleanout. This part of the consultation is called a Wardrobe and Closet Analysis. During this session, your personal stylist will perform a closet edit and she will also be a fashion consultant in your closet by helping you shop your closet to create new outfits that you never would have thought of. She will help you determine what you should keep, toss, and donate in alignment with your goals. Then she will become your personal shopper NYC.

As your personal shopper, she would have developed a list of what you need to buy and should buy in order to transform you into the image you want to project. Some of these changes are made through the types of colors, textures, and patterns that you wear and how you combine them to develop your personal brand image. Therefore, our personal shoppers shop with a strategy and intention in order for you to accomplish your image and style goals.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT our image consultations

  • Working with Michelle is definitely an investment, but a good one.  She teaches you all about what colors look good on you, what works for your body type down to the prints and patterns that you should wear and what you project.  Plus, she teaches you about your style personality and the degrees of dress in corporate environments.  This was during our 2-hour Personal Style Analysis. However, the reason why I continue to work with her, is because I only get compliments when I’m wearing the outfits that SHE picks. It’s been 3 years since my first consultation with her and I scheduled a follow-up half-day personal shopping session with her because who doesn’t like compliments? I think I’ll schedule a virtual closet edit with her next.

  • Michelle is really great with colors. I definitely recommend getting a personal style analysis with her to review your colors. In fact she’s so good with color she help me defined the color scheme of my home, the color scheme of my business brand identity, as well as my best colors for my own personal brand. She put colors together in my wardrobe that I would’ve never put together, but it looks great! Plus I engaged her to create a custom mix and match color chart for my wardrobe.  Definitely recommend working with her.

  • Going through an online closet edit and virtual wardrobe styling session with Michelle was cathartic. She helped decide which items I should release to simplify my wardrobe and my life.  She created new outfits in my closet that I would have never thought of. Plus she even coached me on how to release my husband…I had a $2000 budget for clothes shopping, however we only spent $1350. Michelle was amazing about selecting stylish clothes that made me look current and put together within my budget.  At 50 I’m starting a new phase of my life and I feel great. Thanks so much, Michelle.

  • Michelle has been working with me since the pandemic through their virtual styling service. Since we couldn’t travel to New York at the time it was easier just to work with her through the Global Image Group shop, ship, style method. She’s been great about advising me on how to upgrade my style for on and off camera occasions – and generally just educating me on style and how to develop my own style. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to work with someone who is really knowledgeable about fashion, professional yet fun to work with. It will be one of the best investments you make in yourself. She knows her own client’s style so well that she already knows what’s in your wardrobe without sending you pictures. Now that’s impressive.

  • I’m a Corporate VP of a large medical device corporation and a working mother of 5 kids.  I don’t have time to shop and I hate shopping. I started working with Michelle T. Sterling over 10 plus years ago in San Francisco.  At the time I was living in Napa Valley so rather than have her come out to my home, I packed up my entire wardrobe and met her in her office. After 1 hour, she basically thought it was best for me to discard 80% of my wardrobe and start fresh for my role and the image I wanted to project. I agreed. Working with her to rebuild my wardrobe was easy, efficient, and effective. She makes shopping seem simple and fun. Read More…

  • I’ve been working with Michelle T. Sterling for over the last 10 years and I definitely plan on continuing to work with her because she’s an expert in men’s fashion and style. I had my first full-day consultation with her 10 years ago in L.A and I continued to wear the things she selected for me for the next 8 years. During those 8 years, I would try to shop online myself with no luck. Wasting hours and hours searching for items that didn’t turn out to be the right color, fit, or quality that I wanted.  Read More…
