STEFANIA FORNONI

I have created Lookbeautiful because it is the best way for me to express my love for elegance and harmony, passion for creativity, design and trend watching, combined with an attitude for listening to people and help them meet their expectations.

I am a FLC Certified member of AICI, the largest International Organization of Image Consulting Professionals.

My personal and professional development was also influenced by the interests in the styling, home decoration, photography. In addition, a sense for color and shapes comes from the activity of artists and painters in my family.

Through Image Consulting and Personal Shopping services I can contribute to the customer's global image, satisfaction and self-esteem. Flexible approach, but always professional. This activity requires best in class knowlegde in various fields, so the continuous updating in fashion, trends, communication, events, shops, hair-style, make-up, business etiquette is part of my job.

I am an independent professional working in Milan, where I was born. I have collaborations with turism service agencies as well as beauty centers and spa. I also run Workshops within Professional Image Consultancy trainings. I contributed to preparation of stylings and videos on Personal Image with various publishing companies.

I took a specialization in Image Consultancy and Personal Shopping at UptoDate Fashion Academy, Milan, an international academy ISO 9001 quality certified.

In the past, I spent many years in large international companies operating in financial services, where I learnt how to work in multi-level and complex situations, dealing with managerial counterparts and remote executives every day. From this long experience I have developed good interpersonal communication skills (audience presentations, negotiation skills, team work) as well as the ability to work autonomously. In addition to this I have developed a strong attention to the professional image components and behavioural aspects in the working environments, and I have become aware of the widespread need of managers and sales for a better image and improved non-verbal communication skills.

Prior to this, I took a degree in English and French at the Translators and Interpreters School in Milano, and I spent a couple of years working as an hostess and interpreter.

A special thank goes to my supportive and wonderful family.
