Style Identity: 4-Step Approach
Image Atelier, a Delaware-based color analysis, style, and closet management studio, guides you on a journey to discover your authentic personal style with a unique 4-step approach.
Just as blueprints lay the foundation for a house, we carefully examine your Colors, Body Design, Face, and Image Intentions to craft a deeply transformative image identity that resonates with you.
No matter the many roles you navigate daily—mother, professional, wife, friend—we’ll work together over three months to build your true style identity from the inside out.
Learn more about the 4-step approach we’ll take together:
1. Importance of Color Analysis
Color analysis goes beyond just creating a color palette for shopping—it's the foundation of your Style Identity, capturing the essence of your unique aesthetic qualities.
Starting with a personalized color palette allows you to enjoy the transformation process from the very beginning. You'll gain the skills to evaluate your current wardrobe and make informed clothing choices, saving money by knowing which colors suit you best. This marks the first step in your journey toward a truly transformational change.
2. Understanding Your Body Design
Knowing your body shape helps you choose clothes wisely, save time and money, and always look great.
You will become a savvy shopper, buying pieces that complement who you are. By looking at your body shape and size, you can figure out what clothes look best on you and what doesn't suit you.
The Best Styles for Your Body Silhouette guide offers advice on the best shapes for pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, and coats. It also includes links to help you find these recommended items.
3. How Your Face Affects Your Style Identity
The next step is to explore the unique qualities of your face. This analysis helps us determine the ideal scale, and details for your upper garments, prints, patterns, and jewelry that best complement you. During this phase, we’ll assess:
- Proportion
- Shape
- Facial design elements such as line, line direction, space, and shape
- Texture
- Balance points for necklaces and necklines
- Eyeglass frames
- Hairstyle suggestions
You’ll receive a personalized image guide based on your facial design, offering tailored recommendations for prints, jewelry, and glasses.

This approach emphasizes creating a cohesive wardrobe with a select number of versatile pieces that can be combined in countless ways. By mastering these techniques, you’ll gain the confidence to effortlessly create stylish looks, making your daily dressing routine more efficient and enjoyable.
