Paris Fashion Week just gave us the final piece of the SS27 puzzle. 👀

So what are we actually going to see on the high street next spring?

✨ Modern Rococo
🌈 Bold color combinations
🖤 Gothic glamour
👔 The reinvented shirt
🧥 Luxury utility
🪽 Lightweight, fluid dressing
📏 Knee-length skirts
✨ Metallics
🏁 Sporty meets elegant

But there’s a bigger story behind all of it.

Paris is all about contrast.

Romantic + rebellious.
Feminine + practical.
Historical + modern.
Elegant + sporty.
Delicate + dramatic.

And that’s exactly why Paris is so interesting for personal stylists.

Because the runway isn’t a shopping list.

Your job isn’t to put your client into a head-to-toe Paris runway look. It’s to understand what’s happening in fashion and decide which elements actually make sense for that person.

Their coloring.
Their proportions.
Their personality.
Their lifestyle.
Their image goals.

The runway gives us the inspiration.

The stylist provides the interpretation.

Say hello to Cynthia from Cynthia | Colorimetría e Imagen Personal 👋

Cynthia is a Spanish tutor who became obsessed with color analysis and, in 2025, decided to turn her passion into an exciting new career.

Here’s what Cynthia had to say about her experience at The Style Academy International:

“I have loved this course! So very informative and so much material for us to work with.

You can work at your pace, they give you all that you need to get started as well and you have access to the platform even after your course finished!

“Also, you’re not alone through the course, you can always reach out and Louisa is there to help you along the way. She’s fantastic!

Take this course, you will love it! ❤️”

It’s time to put your styling skills to the test!

What are we actually going to see in stores next spring? Milan just gave us some BIG clues. 👀

And this time, the message is all about polished, sensual, expressive dressing.

🇮🇹 Skirts are back in a big way
🖤 Lingerie-inspired dressing
🐆 Animal print
🤍 Relaxed tailoring
📏 Longer hemlines
🧥 Statement summer layers
🧶 Craft-inspired textures
🔀 Unexpected combinations
👜 Statement accessories

But there’s something interesting happening across these trends…

Milan isn’t telling us to buy an entirely new wardrobe.

It’s showing us how familiar pieces can be styled differently.

A skirt becomes the starting point for an outfit.
A blazer becomes softer and more relaxed.
Animal print acts like a neutral.
An accessory becomes the statement.
A simple summer layer becomes the entire look.

And that’s where personal styling comes in.

The runway gives us the trends. Our job is to translate them for the individual.

What if Instagram disappeared tomorrow? 👀

Not a new algorithm.
Not lower reach.
Not fewer views.

**Gone.**

Would your styling business still have clients?

If most of your enquiries come from Instagram, your audience lives there, and your entire marketing strategy depends on posting consistently… it might be time to ask yourself a slightly uncomfortable question:

**Have you built a business, or have you built a business that depends on a platform you don't own?**

Social media can be an incredibly powerful tool for personal stylists, image consultants and color analysts.

But it shouldn't be the *only* tool.

Your website.
Your email list.
Referrals.
Repeat clients.
Partnerships.
Search visibility.
Multiple revenue streams.

These are the things that can help make your business more resilient when the algorithm changes—or when the platform inevitably changes with it.

🎙️ In the latest episode of *The Business of Style®*, we're asking:

**Would your styling business survive a social media apocalypse?**

Its Monday! Which means it’s time to test your style and color analysis skills.

This week the focus is on contrast 👀

Contrast is an important characteristic in color analysis yet it’s often overlooked or misunderstood.

Contrast is quite simply the difference between the darkest and lightest features of a person or the colors of an outfit.

Big difference = High contrast
Small difference = Low contrast
Anything in between = medium contrast

So, you’re looking for a low contrast outfit. Which of these incredible looks from Prada Spring/Summer 2027 collection, would you choose?

Everything you need to know from London Fashion Week. 🇬🇧

If New York's message was about joyful dressing, bold color, and experimentation, London brought a more rebellious edge to the conversation. Indie-rock attitude, sheer lingerie, sporty dressing, romanticism, fringe, bold red, retro references, and plenty of deliberately imperfect styling. But someth...

Another five star review for our personal stylist and color analysis courses ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amber recently completed both programs and here’s what she had to say about her experience with The Style Academy International:

“ I highly recommend The Style Academy International and their online certificate programs in personal styling and colour analysis.

Each course was detailed, well-structured, and met the outlined objectives.

I was especially impressed to find out they had considered the learning experience of neurodivergent learners and designed their course and student portal to create an inclusive and optimised learning environment.”

Thanks Amber for your amazing review. We’re so happy our courses met your needs and that our focus on creating an inclusive learning environment was helpful for you. Our goal has always been to make personal styling and color analysis accessible to everyone so we design everything we do around this. 😊

Want to know what’s coming to the high street next spring? London Fashion Week just gave us some BIG clues. 👀

And honestly? London wasn’t playing it safe.

❤️ Bold red
🖤 Indie-rock attitude
🤍 Sheer + lingerie dressing
🏁 Sporty pieces
✨ Fringe + tassels
🇬🇧 British heritage with a twist
🌹 Romantic dressing
😎 Deliberately undone styling
👜 Statement accessories

But there’s a bigger story behind these trends.

London is encouraging us to mix things that aren’t supposed to go together.

Romantic + rebellious.
Sporty + feminine.
Heritage + modern.
Polished + undone.

And for personal stylists, that’s where it gets interesting.

Because the goal isn’t to recreate the runway.

It’s to take what’s happening in fashion and make it work for the person standing in front of you.

The opportunity to practice your color analysis skills is all around.

Seasonal color analysts was inspired by the colors we see in nature each month and how those colors transition as the seasons change.

Right now it’s Soft Autumn and we’re seeing those muted geeens, browns, and yellows that will eventually give way to warm reds, browns, and golden hues that signify Warm Autumn.

So, put down your phone or stop away from your computer and go take a lesson from the best teacher..,Mother Nature 😊
