Styling session for travellers in Bologna

Three hours in the shops of Bologna with an image consultant. You try on, I explain why a cut, a colour or a fabric works for you, and you take the method home.

A styling lesson that happens in real shops

Travelling is the best time to look at your style with fresh eyes. The styling session is my half-day format, built around what happens in the fitting room rather than the number of bags you carry back to the hotel.

From your questionnaire I prepare a route of boutiques, vintage shops or traditional addresses that suit what you are looking for. As you try on, I explain my choices out loud, so you learn to read your proportions, your colours and the fabrics that work for you.

It is my 1, 2, 3 method applied to real clothes: a focal point, texture contrast and colour harmony.

What you learn in the fitting room

Cut

Which lines, lengths and volumes balance your figure, and why the same jacket can look right on the hanger and wrong on you.

Colour

The shades that light up your complexion and the ones to keep away from your face, so new pieces work with your wardrobe.

Fabric

How to pair materials the way Italians do, mixing knitwear, leather and silk, and how to recognise a fabric worth paying for.

The details

Before the tour you receive a short questionnaire by email: who you are, where you are from, how many of you are coming, what you are looking for (luxury, vintage or local addresses), which brands and pieces interest you, and the budget you want to set aside for shopping. We meet at the time we agree, at your hotel if you are staying in the centre, or at a meeting point in the centre.

Frequently asked questions

I am only in Bologna for a day or two. Is three hours enough?

Yes. The session is a single three-hour block at a time we agree, so it fits around a morning or an afternoon of sightseeing.

Do I have to buy something?

No. The fee covers the questionnaire, the preparation and three hours with me, whatever you buy.

Can I share the session with a friend?

Yes. The price is €450 for one or two people.

Where do we meet?

At your hotel if you are staying in the centre, otherwise at a meeting point in the centre.

What if I want more time?

Choose the full day: 10:00 to 18:00 with a two-hour lunch break, from €750. It is also the format in which I can arrange a hairdresser appointment.
