THE COLOR ANALYSIS PROCESS
UNDERSTANDING COLOR
We will discuss your current relationship with color and what you hope to achieve from color analysis. Then, I will provide an introduction to color theory and the dimensions of color, such as hue, value and chroma. These dimensions will help you understand what I'm seeing, when I begin draping.
DRAPING
Draping refers to holding up different 'drapes' of fabric under your face and noticing what different effects they have on you. I'll be looking at your jawline, skin, eyes, vitality and overall impact.
I start with the 'Key' drapes, representative of Summer, Spring, Winter and Autumn Seasons. Then, we'll try each of the True Seasons, to move towards a particular quadrant of the seasonal color wheel.
Once we think we've landed in the right place, I'll do cross-checks, to make sure we didn't miss any other Seasons that could benefit you.
You will learn your 'tell tale' signs for colors that aren't optimal for you, which you can put into practice when you get home, review your wardrobe or go shopping. I will be verbalizing what I'm seeing throughout the draping process, so that you will be constantly learning.
EMBEDDING INTO YOUR SEASON
After we've landed on your best Season, we will revisit the particular qualities and dimensions of that Season, such as hue, value and chroma.
We will discuss optimal textile weight, finish and of course color, from neutrals to complimentary pairing, as well as make-up and jewelry.
SWATCHING
Finally, we will practice 'swatching', which is using color palettes to classify different items, such as clothing, into Seasons. Swatching is about overall visual harmony, and not about matching individual color 'squares' to palettes. We will practice this together, as this is an important part of learning your Season.
