What we wear tells the story of who we are or who we want to be

“Faster than anything else, what we wear tells the story of who we are or who we want to be” – Frances Corner, Head of London College of Fashion and Pro Vice-Chancellor of University of the Arts London.

At Maclynn (formerly Vida), our mission is to help you find your compatible match. Dating forms an important part of your journey, and there is an art to getting it right. First impressions count, especially in the dating world. In fact, research indicates that first impressions are formed in the first 7 seconds of meeting someone, and 55% of that first impression, is based on what you look like (the remaining part is taken by body language and non-verbal communication).

Our clothes can empower and elevate us in an instant. It isn’t about following trends; it’s about understanding how clothes reflect your personality, flatter your body shape and then wearing them in a way that works for you. That’s where a personal stylist can help, by showing you how to bring out the best version of you.
