It’s all in the fit! If it fits the body its saying “I look powerful because everything I wear FITS my frame perfectly and is flawlessly tailored”.
How to project credibility and power
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Congratulations Renae and Lia!
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Since November 2009 EGAMI STYLE has been working exclusively with the WA Miss Universe contestants on the key elements of personal image, presentation and preparing for their final answers. Congratulations to the Miss Universe WA Finalists who came in second and third at the National Competition: Renae Wauhop, from Perth, who was the runner-up and Lia Tapper, from Perth, coming in third. That’s an amazing effort!
Inspirational Style for Men
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Invest in a great watch; it will be your lowest cost per wear item. Â A watch can represent everything about being a man, your research, your masculinity and a snap shot of where you are at a point in time. Select a Swiss watch that is classic and holds its value such as the IWC, Ulysses Nardin or Panerai.
Power of Observation for Women
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010Be inspired by the confidence and unique style of the women around us. Pay attention to the image they portray and take from it what you need to refine your own personal style to help you achieve what you desire. Look to the bold, bright and high contrast outfits of Michelle Obama for elegance and assertiveness, to the jeans and tailored white shirts of Elle Macpherson to project a quietly confident and self assured woman or the unique and Spanish chic of Penelope Cruz to create an intriguing image of a creative and successful woman. But it doesn’t need to be a celebrity, what about your best friend or work colleague? Who do you identify with?
When Dressing to Impress
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Elegance = Style. It is stunning, respected and desirable.
Wardrobe Communication
Sunday, May 9th, 2010Are you the quiet type who finds it harder to naturally promote yourself at interviews or at work? Or perhaps an overly confident extrovert who is often challenged and misunderstood? Did you know that there are ways you can control what you communicate in the workplace through your image? The majority of this communication is through psychology.
Clothes and colour enhance the strength of your verbal message and can say a great deal about your personality and character as well as your position of influence. Consider fabric, colour and style. For instance, red can be worn by those who want to convey assertiveness, while black can be interpreted to mean sophistication and power. In terms of fabrics, silk conveys elegance while white cotton shirts say I’m easy going, approachable and relaxed.

How Fashion Reflects Social Mood
Monday, November 16th, 2009We here at EGAMI STYLE are fascinated by the deeper psychology of image and are constantly observing how our collective mood is reflected in fashion and trends. Much like selecting a coloured shirt that represents how we feel that morning, we can also look to financial markets to determine the appropriateness of the height of our skirt or even the width of our tie. No wonder why everyone is wearing so much black!
Fashion is a key indicator of social mood and one term that you may have heard recently is ‘recessionary fashion’. You only need to watch the latest runways of Paris and you’ll see examples from Ralph Lauren and Hermès with ‘collections inspired from Dust Bowl Okies to tennis courts, aka the ‘Great Gatsby’ revival’. An interesting article by Robert R Prechter gives insight into how the current spring fashion trends are indicative of ‘recessionary’ times, thus being  tied to financial markets.

We’re not sure if  tattered overalls or Grandpa’s shoes will be making an appearance in the EGAMI STYLE offices anytime soon, however we will make a concerted effort to not wear black every day! What colour are you wearing right now?
However, recession or no recession, style is forever.
