About

I am Susan Young and I’ll tell you my story!  I always wanted to be a Fashion Designer and I originally come from a small town in country Scotland, Melrose. Our neighbouring towns were filled with woollen mills and the local University, Heriot Watt has the largest contingent of Fashion and Textile students in Scotland.  My Aunt, Doreen Keen worked as the head designer for Pringle for many years and later launched her own label, Queene and Belle with her parnter Angela Bell. (Doreen recently retired).  All of the options to become a designer were there for me, I had the marks required to get into University, however, I decided to take a year out and somehow, I ended up in a career that I didn’t really even know existed at the time, Professional Recruitment.  I have been successful in this industry for over 12 years. 

However, the idea of working in Fashion never left me, and working in a industry such as recruitment, it was very apparent to me that nearly everyone struggles with their own personal style and how they present themselves, particularly in a professional interview.  Having met and interviewed literally hundreds of people over the years, and knowing that the first few seconds you meet someone, you have already judged them on their appearance (shallow, but true) I knew that I had to learn the science of Image Consulting.  How you are perceived from a first impression really can make a huge impact in your life.  I learned very quickly that the first impression that you make is the lasting one and you really only do get one chance to get it right, so I incorporated a few minutes on presentation into my interviews, particularly if I knew I was presenting the candidate to my clients.  The candidates whom have been successful in finding suitable employment through me will attest to the fact that they were given the best guidance on how to present the best person they are, both professionally in interview but also in their personal presentation.  I trained as a Professional Image Consultant in 2007 and as a Professional Fashion Stylist later in 2009.  I have taken my passion for Style into homes, restaurants and many, many wardrobes as well as more recently, I have been commissioned to style a wedding at the Park Hyatt in Melbourne. 

I believe that everyone should feel good and the best place to start, is by knowing what to wear everyday to match your life and personal style.  I take pride in understanding the true essence of a person to assist you in finding your own style, what works for you and teach you what doesn’t, how your appearance can have an effect on your daily life and how to change it to get you to the next level (if that’s where you want to go). 

It doesn’t matter how large or small your budget is, or what you have in your wardrobe or what you don’t I own.  I will work with anyone who wants to present the person they are to the world and communicate truly, who they are.
