"Seven years ago in Dubai, I embarked on a remarkable journey with Sterling Style Academy that forever altered my professional path—I completed a 2-week certification program that shaped me into an image consultant, personal stylist, and shopper. My passion for fashion and delight in dressing others found the perfect outlet.
Under the direct tutelage of Michelle Sterling, an exemplar of professionalism and expertise, I delved into the intricacies of styling, image management, wardrobe evaluation, and personal shopping. Her pedagogy, infused with visual aids, hands-on training, and practical experience through store visits, ingrained the concepts seamlessly.
The global recognition of Michelle Sterling infused the program with an invaluable international flair, extending my understanding of styling beyond borders. Post -certification, my clientele has burgeoned and I have appeared on the cover of a magazine, a testament to the prestige and respect commanded by this qualification.
For any aspirants in image consultancy or styling, Sterling Style Academy's programs—be it in-person or online—represent an investment that pays dividends in skilful competence and industry credence. Every dollar spent is justified by the excellence of the education and the doors it opens. I definite recommended taking this program!
The eCertification Program materials included in this program have helped me tremendously in conducting seamless consultations from personal style, to closet detoxes, to personal shopping enabling me to truly makeover my clients from start to finish."
"I recently completed a two-week bespoke Image Consultant and Personal Stylist training program with Michelle T. Sterling, the very talented and experienced founder of the Sterling Style Academy; I have to say that my two weeks training was a life changing and transformative experience. The two weeks have taught me to think differently and to understand and appreciate the details that go into personal styling and into a building a presentable image.
The structure of the training modules that Michelle has developed are impeccable and excellently streamlined. Each session was thoughtfully designed to build upon the previous one, ensuring a very fulfilling and seamless learning journey. Michelle’s unparalleled knowledge of fashion and styling, combined with her ability to adapt this expertise to Indian wedding styling more than exceeded my expectations.
During the course, she guided me on how to craft my services package, consultation plan, and so much more. Michelle’s attention to detail and her ability to tailor the program to my specific needs were remarkable. She even helped me develop my personal brand, from logo design to positioning my services in the Indian market, taking into account our unique cultural nuances.
This course was a more than valuable investment as what I learnt is immeasurable. The amount of information, knowledge, and personalized feedback I received has left me feeling highly prepared to become a top stylist in Mumbai across multiple verticals—and to charge premium rates for my services.
Michelle is an exceptional instructor who is not only highly skilled but also adapts her skills and knowledge to your learning style and needs. To my surprise, we even shared similar tastes, which made collaborating on everything from clothing selection (including Indian wedding attire) to marketing strategies incredibly easy.
What truly stood out was how the course went beyond the syllabus. Michelle helped me develop an aggressive marketing plan that exceeded my expectations and even sparked a new idea to position Indian clothing in a more wearable, entry-level way. This not only positions me as an image consultant but also as a budding fashion designer.
I highly recommend the Sterling Style Academy to anyone serious about becoming successful in the styling industry. It’s an investment that will pay you back more than tenfold—possibly even within your first year if you follow Michelle’s guidance and her expert ideas meticulously. This program has given me the tools, confidence, and vision to excel, and I consider myself lucky for having had this opportunity.
Thank you, Michelle, for an incredible experience!"
