Testimonials
In my career it is rare to come across people with true talent, or people I would call upon for advice or inspiration, but Bronwyn Fraser is all the above. Her knowledge in the field of colour, style and fashion is outstanding and her comprehensive expertise in colour theory formed an integral part of her contribution to my books “Makeup, The Ultimate Guide” and “Express Makeup”.

In the past people would comment that I was a ‘good dresser’, or ‘I look like I spend a lot of money on clothes’. Working in a corporate environment meant I did spend on my suits, but they were getting very boring! I wanted to remain sophisticated yet more funky and different. Its now been a month since we shopped and sorted out my best colours and styles, so I wanted to share the comments people have been making about my look; “Wow, you look great today, very funky dress, love those boots, have you lost weight, there’s something different about you, love your necklace (didn’t say it cost only $15!), you look amazing!”
I couldn’t believe that some of the clothes people commented on I have been wearing for years! It was your creative ability to put pieces together and accessorise that made me more confident to be more stylish in both a corporate setting and socially.
I’ve already saved money by not buying clothes that I already have, and only shopping when I have my Colour Swatch with me as I now understand how much colour can impact my look.
After shopping with you I returned home to show off our purchases to my partner Anthony, he honestly sat there with his mouth open looking at me. At first I thought he was thinking of the money I had spent, but he then said I looked amazing and that he felt he really needed to clean up his act in the dress department! After my transformation, I knew you could do it for him too and one shopping trip later, a new, funky, stylish man appeared. When I commented on his whole new demeanor, he told me you had given him the self confidence to know he looked good.
We both agree you have made a significant difference in our ability to feel confident in ourselves.
Thank you

It was such a relief to finally discover that there was actually a wardrobe doctor operating in Melbourne! As a busy professional woman with too many clothes, not enough time and a scatty approach to acquiring new and often unnecessary purchases, Style Establishment has proved the most worthwhile of all fashion investments. Your wardrobe is given a full inventory, spring clean and fresh injection of inspiration. I now wear clothes I never knew I had, combine existing items in new ways and most importantly, I've already saved myself the consultation fee twice over in knowing exactly what I need to buy and what I should avoid.
Bron’s commonsense approach and timeless style make her the perfect fashion guru for even the most fashion-dyslexic of us. I only wish I’d found her sooner!

I have to say that my Wardrobe Workout session with Bronnie was long overdue. What she brought to my life was the ability to buy sensible basics and enjoy them in so many different ways with the more eccentric items in my wardrobe. I also now know the rules for work and accessories and its cut back on the morning mayhem altogether. It was like being with an honest but very stylish best friend as we overhauled my junk and brought focus back on the pieces that already looked great and I loved. I highly recommend any session with Bronnie – it was invaluable!

“Bronny really helped make my wedding day stress free and so relaxed. She arrived early in the morning and her friendly caring nature and beautiful smile put everyone at ease. Her make-up was simple and natural and looked gorgeous.
Thank you for making my day so special and making me feel so amazing. I’ll always remember getting ready before the wedding being so much fun and so easy thanks to you”

Bron was recommended to me a few years ago following a discussion with a girlfriend about getting my colours done and needing some help with my wardrobe. Following my style and colour consultation, we then completely overhauled my wardrobe and I was happy with all her suggestions on what we needed to remove to make it more workable.
We then went shopping!!!!!!!!!!!
The first time we shopped I was amazed at how quickly we found clothes that suited me and how much fun I had. Until then I had always hated shopping and never knew (or cared) what went with what or what was in style.
When I arrived home my husband poured me a glass of wine and made me do a fashion parade to show off the things I had bought. I loved it and he enjoyed seeing me dressed in a more stylish fashion. Over the next few days it was amazing how many people commented on my clothes and how good I looked, something which had never happened before. I felt great!!!!!
Now I meet Bron bi-annually and we do a seasonal shop. I have to say, I think I am getting better and certainly more interested in shopping and coordinating. I have even had people I have met since then, come to me and say that I always look nice and I have to confess that Bron is helping me and they all say “what a good idea”.
I’m hooked

Bronwyn,
Thank you SO much for you!
I knew it would feel great to get organised with my wardrobe, and that I was stuck in some 'wardrobe' ruts, but I really had not idea WHAT A DIFFERENCE your visits would make to my life in general.
We all know that getting clear is always positive. Every time I look in my wardrobe now, it screams "can't wait to get dressed"! Previously it screamed "I've got nothing to feel great in today"!
Sorting and turfing gear that doesn't suit you, or still has it's labels on seems simple enough, but doing it with your expertise meant REAL changes in how I saw the clothes I already had. Putting the same clothes together in a different ways has made me feel like they are all NEW! In fact, just returning the clothes still sitting there with their labels on, more than paid for the cost of your visit!! I look into my beautifully arranged wardrobe, with less clothes than ever before, hanging seductively on those matching wooden hangers, and I feel like I've just been shopping for a whole new wardrobe. Or better, that my simple wardrobe has just turned into my own fabulous boutique.
I was even more transformed by the colour, style and make-up session. To be honest I thought I had quite a handle on that area. It wasn't such a surprise that Autumn tones were my thing. But what has really made the difference was identifying in my wardrobe styles, body type etc. and why some things made my feel frumpy and others made me feel like a goddess. I will never buy a round high-necked t-shirt again!
Your makeup advice has also helped me understand more about what makes my skin look tired and grey, and what brings me alive. I feel that now I can produce a fresh and happy face, even perhaps if I'm tired. How you look, and moreover, how you see yourself, can really affect how you feel. I FEEL FABULOUS!
My friends have noticed such a difference in my general dressing too. They have been asking me about it, because even when I think I'm just throwing on a t-shirt and jeans, it's a great t-shirt, with jeans that really flatter me. I feel so much better and more confident than I can remember. I didn't even have to lose a pound!
Now that I no longer even look at clothes that don't fit my style and colour criteria (love the swatch book!) I save an enormous amount of money by not making those old mistakes.
I think today, with the world looking more into saving the planet, less is more. I love that I feel that I have more, but operate with less. It feels respectful, and honouring. I feel special every time I open my wardrobe.
Thank you!
With much appreciation
Grace Sanbrook.
I have never taken the time to assess what clothes I buy, whether the colour suits or whether I am buying styles that work for me. I have always purchased clothes to suit an immediate need.
Bronwyn has dramatically shifted my thinking in reassessing my wardrobe and shopping habits.
I now know what colours, styles and lengths work best and now look to my wardrobe with a greater sense of strategy and confidence thanks to Brons expertise and help.

I work full time running a small business and have two girls at school who I like to spend time with when I am not working. My time for shopping is very limited and over the years I had built up a very large but uncoordinated wardrobe with a tendency to re-buy similar items each year. I found Bronwyn through a friend who I had always thought of as a smart, trendy dresser. Bronwyn is a genius – after a clear out and colour session at home – we went on our first shopping trip to prepare me for my yearly business trip to the US where I had to give some formal presentations and meet my US colleagues. Bronwyn has a great eye for styles that bring out the best in you and also for funky accessories that really lift an outfit.
In the US, I felt so well dressed – appropriate and smart – I loved everything that I wore!!! I could relax, feel in control and focus on business. I think because I felt so well groomed and stylish in my outfits that all my business meetings went exceedingly well.
Another huge advantage was that because my outfits were so well co-ordinated - my case was half empty allowing for lots of presents to be bought for the girls back home. Can’t wait for my next shopping day – thanks Bronwyn.

Hi Bronwyn
I was one of the mums from last Wednesday night's function and I really enjoyed the presentation. I had to dash off (husband was on call and had to head out) and didn't get a chance to thank and tell you how inspired and empowered you made me feel. While loving every sector of the fashion industry (what's presented to the public anyway) I'm not the most savvy or would be regarded as a fashion 'power house', but I came away with a sense of wanting to look better for no-one else but myself.
Since last Wednesday I have had a long over due hair cut and gone shopping without my children (Jag and Sussans were in there) and bought a few key pieces just for me! I really do feel quite pleased with myself!
So thank you once again and best success for the future!
Catherine.
