...For all Professional Image Consultants, Stylists and Personal Shoppers

Welcome to The Federation of Image Consultants: the professional organisation that supports, develops and regulates the image industry in the UK.

Image has become an aspect of life that is increasingly hard to ignore, with 24/7 media attention acting as a strong catalyst to the unprecedented interest that we now have in the way that we look and behave. This in turn has led to phenomenal growth in an image industry that has developed breadth as well as depth and now sits successfully alongside other personal development topics.

More and more companies and private individuals are choosing to employ an image consultant, to ensure that they (and their employees), are presenting themselves in an appropriate way for their existing work environment and wider lifestyle.

The number of people entering the profession and undertaking image training is rising consistently. Experienced consultants can attain Master status, the recognised Professional Qualification for the image industry, by taking TFIC/City and Guilds TFIC / City & Guilds Masters in Image Consultancy.
