Suzanne Jaya Profile and Philosophy

A Style Philosophy

Clothes are an essential human need, so why not get it right and always look and feel the best version of yourself? Wearing clothes is more than just pulling random tops and bottoms out of your wardrobe. Personal style is an effect that you create and your image speaks volumes about your current self. The two are intrinsically linked. Our appearance mirrors our mind, mood and emotions. Wearing the right clothes can knock years off your age and energise and enhance you without the need for any drastic age-defying techniques.

Shopping for clothes can be a daunting experience as there is such choice in styles, prices and retailers. Modern times have created a ‘disposable mentality’, where clothes are generally bought to wear and throwaway.

Getting expert advice on maintaining a versatile and timeless capsule wardrobe that will last through the seasons is the key to effortless style and is a valuable investment of your time and money. These clothes are the building blocks of your wardrobe that can be worn time and time again and always make you feel good when wearing them.

However, fashion does not need to be sacrificed, as an on-trend look can be created by adapting key NOW looks that can be weaved through your clothes collection to express your individuality.

Stylist Profile

Suzanne Styling Someone Suzanne-Jaya Raghavan is a freelance personal style and image consultant based in Cardiff, South Wales and the West.

Suzanne and her associates offer a complete style and image service for individuals and people in business.

Having spent most of her working years in London and the South West, Suzanne returned to Wales 10 years ago to continue her career in retail management / training. She has worked predominantly in the fashion, health & beauty industry.

She is a qualified complementary therapy practitioner, has a PGCE in Further & Adult Education and loves coaching others to maximise their full potential.

After further training in style and image at Aston + Hayes and the London College of Fashion, recent years have led Suzanne to combine all her work passions to provide a complete style and image consultancy.

Suzanne is an affiliate member of the Federation of Image Consultants (TFIC).

I worked with Suzanne for a complete style overhaul after asking her for help to look professional and stylish at the networking events I attend. Suzanne gave me a wardrobe workout, seeing what I already had that could be worn to better advantage, and then took me shopping to my favourite shops where she picked out clothes that would work in different combinations to improve my image.

Suzanne worked hard to understand my personal lifestyle and style preferences and to help me achieve a look that was really “me”. She also took me for a colour consultation, a hair cut and colour and for eyebrow re-shaping with some of her trusted associates and I felt in very good hands with all of them.

I would recommend Suzanne to anyone – male or female – who feels uninspired by their wardrobe and who yearns for that polished look that others – including Suzanne herself - seem to achieve effortlessly. It really is achievable!
