Testimonials
“The Universal Style Guide books have been invaluable foundation texts for our students of the Certificate Programs in Image Consulting at both Parsons School of Design and Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and the Image Resource Center of NY Image Builder Training Programs. The style principles stand the test of time, are logical, fun to learn and do so very powerfully impact the clothing lives of our professional consultants and our clients. We have used every edition of her Universal Style System Textbooks since the first edition in 1990.”
Dominique Isbecque, AICI CIP, Executive Director, Image Resource Center of NY LLC.
"The Style Source book should be a mandatory reference for all students or professionals in the image consultant industry worldwide. It not only gives you the tools to identify the essence of your clients, it is the most reliable and adaptable method to provide for the needs of your clients in identifying their individuality. This was demonstrated in their successful training for image consultants from Latin America in Mexico City in March 2018."
Víctor Vázquez Mézquita, Past President AICI Mexico City Chapter, Socio Fundador del Centro de Imagen y Percepción
“I have attended Alyce's Universal Style Certification training in the US, hosted her as guest speaker during AICI Singapore chapter's inaugural education conference in 2009, and I continue to use the Universal Style system as an active image consultant and educator based in Singapore.
From my experience, Alyce is a passionate and experienced image consultant and educator who has applied her brilliant mind and done a significant amount of content research in developing the Universal Style system. I am grateful to be among the many image consultants whose clients have benefitted from the application of her useful system in our services as image consultants."
