Styling for Men: A Narrower Silhouette Range, Fit, and a Slower Replacement Cycle
The packages and the prices do not change for men: a Look Audit is $30 for 1 working day, a Capsule Wardrobe is $70 for 1-2 working days. The emphasis does change. The silhouette range is narrower, fit carries more of the result, and the capsule runs shorter.

Styling for a shoot: how looks are prepared to read on camera
Clothing faultless in a room follows other rules on camera: the light source shifts the shade, fine pattern gives moiré, texture vanishes in the wide shot and fabric rustles into the lavalier. What gets checked before a shoot, and which packages cover it.

What You Receive at Handover: Access, Source Code and the Accounts Behind Them

Do you need a CMS, and which kind? Who edits the site and how often decides it
