How to Apologize

About Imogen, Image Consulting, VideosBy Imogen LamportMarch 2, 20123 Comments

Yesterday I was contacted by 7 TV News to comment on what makes a good apology, the state of etiquette today and why we need manners. The journalist interviewed me for around 5 minutes, and of course only one sentence ended up on the news report. It made me think, particularly about public figures who…

Image Consulting, Personal StyleBy Imogen LamportJune 27, 201011 Comments

This week something happened that I hoped might happened, I just didn’t expect it in my lifetime, we got our first woman Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.

I’m often asked by clients and people I meet how I became an image consultant. It’s not the kind of job that most of us grow up thinking about (doctor, nurse, teacher, fireman etc.). In fact, I didn’t even know of its existence as a job until I met an image consultant in 2003. But…

Bra Fit and Flattery

Image ConsultingBy Imogen LamportSeptember 11, 200916 Comments

I spent a morning with Jen of Alluring Lingerie who showed me her gorgeous range of bras. Even though I’ve been fitted for bras over the recent years, we decided to do another fitting – and guess what – my rib cage has shrunk! Having kids expanded it a bit, but since that’s been a…

My Own Image Anxieties

About Imogen, Image Consulting, Personal StyleBy Imogen LamportMay 1, 200917 Comments
