4 Interesting Facts About Image Consulting


Whether you like it or not, the way you look plays a role in your success. Your image is "you" in the minds of the people; what do they think about you; what is their perception of you. And remember, perception is reality. 

 
Your Image is your visual resume. Much before people know about your strengths they decide about you based on your visual resume. An Image Consultant helps you project an Image that you desire; image that reflects your values and principles. 
What is Image Consulting? 
Image consulting is managing one’s Appearance, Behaviour and Communication in order to project an appropriate, authentic and attractive image. It is about controlling your first impressions.

Who needs Image Consulting?



Image Consulting is for everyone who wants to upgrade his/her style to match with roles and professional and social goals. Be it a student, working professional, a socialite or a celebrity. An employee’s or a CEO’s image will have an impact on the company’s image; a socialite’s or celebrity’s image plays a great role in their careers.


I believe in simple living. How will Image Consulting help me? 
Image consulting does not necessarily mean high fashion brands or glamorous clothes. Image Consulting is adapting style which is appropriate –suitable to our attitude and the audience we interact with.
A classic example can be Mahatma Gandhi’s image in South Africa and when he consciously adopted dhoti clad image later. This epoch-making decision was taken by Gandhiji in Madurai after he decided that he has to work for and with the with the poor people of India and how can he identify with them if he wears different clothes from them.

Is Appearance part of Image consulting only about western clothes?
No, Image Consulting is about appropriate (as per occasion) and authentic (that suits you)dressing. It includes Indian as well as Western styles, blend of fashion trends and use of right accessories. 


Few Image Consulting Tips:
1. Wear clothes that flatter your figure and personal colours.
2. Audience: Think carefully about who it is you’re trying to influence and why. What do they care about and why is it important?
3. Message: The way you’d dress at a business conference full of middle-aged folks is different from how you would dress at high school sports game. Whatever message you’re trying to send to the world, never forget the clothes you put that message in will determine the way it’s received. So, dress it carefully.

Manasi : An Art Aficionado


                          Recipe of Manasi Holehonnur's Image 
From our time spent together in Pune a decade back- Manasi’s image in my mind is that of a friend immersed in poetry called life; a young girl sitting under a blossomed Parijat tree writing beautiful verses. A student of Economics with a sparkle in her eyes and “Puneri” aura in her attitude. It was Manasi who introduced me to many melodious Southern Indian songs. 

 After staying in United States; this happily married conversationalist is now settled in “namma Bengaluru” and making her mark in creative writing.

As I and Manasi talk about her persona and “image”- Manasi is finest example of “authentic” appearance- be it a desi necklace or short dress,she picks up her clothing and accessories totally as per her mood and personal style! 
And you will see her face beaming while talking about her newly found love for graceful and exclusive saree collection.



Along with Pickle-Jar, Manasi has given an active contribution for curating Smita Patil Film Festival and Hrishikesh Mukherjee Film Festival this year in Bengaluru.




Reading , interpreting and experiencing culture, art and films is essence of being “Manasi”. Her favourite creations and writings include those of Akira Kurosava,Gauri Deshpande Kiran Nagarkar, Tukaram, Bahinabai Chaudhari and directorial works of Ingmar Burgman, Hrishikesh Mukharji.



Splendid Birthday wishes for this special friend in her all endeavors ❤
