Founder and Training Director
Sterling Style Academy provides professional education in image consulting, personal styling, color analysis, personal shopping and fashion styling for students around the world. Founded by Michelle T. Sterling, the Academy offers both flexible online courses and intensive in-person certification programs designed to build practical, client-ready skills.
Students can choose from the 1-Day Stylist Training, 2-Day Color Analysis Training, 3-Day Fashion Stylist & Color Analysis Training, 5-Day Personal Stylist Training, 7-Day Image Consultant Training, or the comprehensive 2-Week Image Consultant & Personal Stylist Training.
In addition to training students, Sterling Style Academy works with private clients through Sterling Personal Styling, offering image consulting, personal styling, and color analysis services.
A personal stylist primarily focuses on clothing, outfits, shopping, and wardrobe coordination. An image consultant takes a broader, strategic view of how you are perceived, often incorporating color analysis, body architecture, style personality, grooming considerations, professional context, personal brand, and communication goals. At Sterling, styling can be part of a larger image strategy or a focused service on its own.
