\"I WILL HELP YOU VISUALIZE\
AND CREATE YOUR UNIQUE, BEST SELF.\"\
\
With a solid background as a costumier, designer and stylist for film, TV and theater, Caaren Hulme is now providing the same quality services and expertise to men and women everywhere.\
\
Caaren has built a solid profession out of her two passions: fashion and styling. She learned her love of clothing from her mum and grandma, a trained tailoress who ran her own shop. They taught her everything she knows about cutting, fabric draping and patternmaking. To anchor her passion, Caaren obtained a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Film, Media and Communication and completed courses in Millinery Design and Fashion Drawing.\
\
From her very first job as an amateur theater company volunteer in-house Costume Designer to television and film (including American films and two Jackie Chan movies), Caaren’s most recent role as Head of Costume Design for Australia’s longest running drama series \"Neighbours\", saw her creating hundreds of new and exciting outfits every week.\
\
Throughout her TV and film career, Caaren used her professional training and instinctive knowledge of clothes and styles that work best for each body type, physical attribute, personality and lifestyle to create characters and enhance their image onscreen. And after having spent eight years dressing many actors and personalities, Caaren has now set out to share her know-how with those who wish to improve their self-image and personal style – actors and non-actors alike. \
\
Carren offers a wide array of personalised services, from image consultations and makeovers to personal shopping. (She knows the shopping precincts of Melbourne very well – from the main shopping centers to the more eclectic shopping strips and alleyways.) Caaren believes in each client’s unique attributes and potential, and works to highlight these. She helps each client visualise and create the best self-image. \
\
Perhaps, Caaren herself sums up the importance of self-image best: \"Self-image is about harmony, visual style and aesthetics; it creates personal style and confidence. It is the most important first impression we project to the world. We only get one shot at that, and you have to make it a great one.\"\

CLOSET AID\
The secrets in our \'3 R\' approach –\
\
Release\
Restore\
Revise– the clothes that are not working hard for you.\
– the pieces that are working hard for you.\
– what is needed to complete your needs. Renovation complete. Now you can set to work filling the newly created \
wardrobe space, with items you’ll actually wear. If you’re unsure, we\
can help here too, with our Shopping-aid service.\
\
\
SHOPPING AID\
Shopping can conjure up images of carelessly frolicking from rack to rack in a daze of colour and vibrant textures, occasionally accentuated by a restful latte before slipping off to the next store. But in reality, merely a fantasy, unless you know how and where you should be shopping.\
\
Usually, shopping results in exhaustion, frustration and the only thing you bring home is a well-established headache from the maze of fabric you just spent 6 hours navigating your way through. \
\
Allow us to cut through this maze as we lead you through hidden city laneways to find those little gems in the places you should be shopping.\
Taking into account your lifestyle, budget, body shape and colours, we ensure you arrive home with great results, strong new pieces for you collection and with a headache the furthest thing from your mind.\
\
\
STYLE AID\
Don’t let the ever-changing fashion trends and glossy mags dictate what’s hot and what’s not, for you. Grab your uniquely designed, personal style portfolio, hit the streets and set some trends of your own.\
\
Our 90-minute ‘Style-aid’ session, analyses your dimensions to create a detailed reference booklet and shopping guide for the perfect ‘style fit’ for your individual needs. Once armed with your ‘style bible’ you are liberated and free to enjoy shopping as the invigorating sensation it should be – happy shopping. \
