It’s a Man’s World – Men’s Image Consulting

Emmi was amazing! She was very professional, prepared and considerate of my time. I’ve never purchased so many great outfits in such a short amount of time. Overall it was a great experience, A+.

Emmi is the only men’s image consultant who is frugal and brutally honest. No BS from her. She speaks fluent Man-​ese and has rabid fans.
Emmi is also highly-​valued by my wife, since any questionable style choices by yours truly end up being adjudicated by Emmi usually not in my favor. Not sure if it is due to my lack of sense of style or those two colluding. In either case, no black belt with brown shoes for me.

If you want to be really, really, really, ridiculously good looking, then Emmi is the person for the job. With her infectious personality, wit, ability to unravel you like only she can, she scans the store and racks finding clothes to fit your style and budget. She can find and make the most of even the hardest shopping situations… a.k.a post holiday closeouts, with limited size selections. Being in that size range that everybody falls into, made it a bit more time consuming, but nonetheless quite enjoyable.
Emmi truly loves her work, which makes working with her even more enjoyable. She takes pleasure in seeing her clients’ «Blue Steel» look when she finds something that propels their attitude from ordinary into Derrick Zoolander male model status. You try something on, if you’re not digging it, it comes off and something else takes its place, she’s always gauging your reaction while looking at the clothing itself and whether it wows her or not… the shoulders suck…“OFF”…color not quite right…“NO”…not only does she need to be happy, but you have to wear it which means you have to be happy as well. If you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter what she thinks. She wants YOU to love what you wear.
She had me trying articles on that I never would have picked on my own and amazingly enough, with the right fit, cut, and colors, I loved them and felt stupid that I had never looked at pieces like these before. Everything that she had found for me throughout the day was great and I was loving all of it. Just when I didn’t think things could get any better, she whips out a jacket that literally tied everything together on a completely different level and made me look and feel like a superstar! Standing in the mirror, not only did I have my «Magnum» moment with a shit eating grin on my face, but she did as well! I felt incredible with everything that I had on and the jacket was just phenomenal. Seeing her with that smile of success and hearing her say «you fuckin’ rock that jacket… it was made to fit you»…well…that’s how I felt and she absolutely knew it.
Along with the bad-​ass jacket… we accessorized (FUN!)…Emmi doesn’t settle! So what if every belt we looked at throughout the myriad of stores visited wasn’t quite right? She kept marching on to the next store until we finally found the belt that put a smile on my face and that twinkle in my eye (yes, even the belt) and she knew that it was the one as soon as she saw my face. The flat-cap…the scarf… two accessories that I had never even attempted before because I didn’t think I could pull them off. Yeah, they just added more depth and character to a get-​up that I was already rocking and in love with.
I can’t say enough good things about Emmi and her work. Her price is well worth every penny and for the service I got, I feel like I made out on the deal. The whole experience was unbelievably enjoyable, it was rewarding to work with her and hope to do business with her again in the future… it may be January, but summer is just around the corner…

Echoing the other reviews… I had a great experience with Emmi. She is very professional, talented, fun to work with and most of all a good listener. I do not like to shop and just walking into a men’s store feels overwhelming. My wardrobe had fallen into a sad state of disrepair and need major renovation, well actually demolition. I wanted a stylish, modern and comfortable wardrobe, which didn’t appear more appropriate for someone half my age or twice my age for that matter. Emmi’s selections were pitch-​perfect. Execution was great too. It was so easy to just arrive at the store and try on pre-​selected items. Fees are reasonable and the project was completed within the allotted budget. After living with my new wardrobe for a while, I’m still very pleased. I would highly recommend Emmi.

My experience with Emmi was (insert falsetto singing voice) «amazing.» When I told my friend Julie just all the little details to my afternoon with Emmi she found that even as a big time clothes shopper herself, there was still nuances and details that only someone of Emmi’s caliber and experience could know. Not only did Emmi save me hundred and hundreds of dollars, literally, she reduced my stress and time in ways we can’t effectively measure yet. When I think about how much variety I was able to be exposed to in terms of different fits, colors, and styles all within a very quick and efficient time frame, one just can’t replicate the experience or quality of the service.
Some of the best of my experience was in the «little things.» She fit with a nice light weight shirt that I wouldn’t have thought to check out but it was casual, easy to layer, and FIT ME PERFECTLY! It felt great wearing it– its amazing just how many articles of clothing I had that I was really not that comfortable in (never mind how they look, which wasn’t too bad to begin with), but that is another great piece of working with Emmi. I got to buy clothes that not only fit me and were comfortable, but also looked great! I wanted a specific look and she really delivered on it 100%. I’d even say she exceeded expectations by providing and edge to my clothing that supported WHO I AM– and I realize my clothes before weren’t really accurately portraying ME– Emmi can do that for you– I know it.
In closing: some services or products are above an accurate price point– I found that with Emmi’s services you pay for what you get– she really delivers and knows EXACTLY what she is doing–

I’ve consulted with Emmi twice now and have been completely happy both times. She has helped me with both my social and my professional wardrobes. She started by having me send her photographs of myself in my best going out and best work outfits, all my shoes and belts. I filled out a questionnaire and communicated by email prior to seeing her, so we both knew what we were accomplishing, what I needed, and how much I was spending.
Before we met, she pre-​shopped, so by the time I went to the stores with her later, just about everything had been pulled and set aside, making a potentially laborious process as effortless as possible. While I tried on the selections, she scurried between dressing room and sales floor, refining the look.
She is amazing at finding high quality clothes at the lowest possible prices and clearly has a gift for finding brands, colors and styles that work for the particular body type, complexion, needs and taste. Her skills allowed me to afford to get a great wardrobe without feeling like I was spending money I didn’t have. She then photographed everything I purchased, to keep a catalogue of my clothes for coordination in the future.
In short, she’s highly organized and detail oriented and leaves nothing to chance. I feel so put together and polished. I received a promotion at work after I consulted with her! Coincidence? At the least, I was able fill my new role in style! I no longer stand in my closet blankly, wondering what to wear, and I have expanded into color, great fit, interesting socks, french cuffs, nice belts and cool shoes in a way I didn’t think possible.
I agree with Romulo R. that she has a great personality and is totally fun, making the whole stress of buying clothes a really enjoyable experience. She is truly a blast to be around and a gift to the world of men’s fashion. Long live Emmi Sorokin!

Emmi has several unique gifts.
1) she is extremely talented in listening to her clients and figuring out what they are looking for. She takes careful notes and is very perceptive to your needs. She has the ability to figure out what it is you need/​want but that you can not your self express.
2) She has a true fashion sense of what looks good on you and where to find it at a reasonable price.
She also has a great personality, she is a lot of fun to work with, very open and will listen to you when you say ‘I don’t think this look is going to work’. What amazed me the most is the stores we went into. Stores where I would usually not shop, not because of price, but simply because I did not feel that would have anything for me.
I highly recommend her services. If you have any question on your style of dress, or looks, do not hesitate to at least give her a call. Her services are VERY reasonably priced and well worth it.

Working with Emmi wasn’t anything like I expected: it was much, much better.
In some ways I was anxious to work with a fashion consultant, much in the same way that some people are nervous to work with a personal trainer; I was afraid of being judged. Thankfully Emmi operates in a judgment-​free zone.
Labeling Emmi as a «fashion consultant» is pigeonholing her services. I would say that she is more of a life coach, with a focus on mens fashion. To use some fashion vocab: her services are custom couture, with nothing being off-​the-​rack.
From the moment you sit down for the consultation, Emmi is more concerned with you as a person. She likes to get a sense of why you’re looking for fashion advice, and doesn’t just ask your sizes. In my case, I was recently laid-​off & dumped within a two week window. For me, the makeover was about getting my mojo back, and Emmi saw that.
When it was time for our shopping session, I was a little shocked to see that we would be going to Lord & Taylor, a store that I never would have visited on my own. But, part of working with Emmi is trusting her and following the lead of a professional.
Waiting for us were some selections that Emmi had made prior to the meeting, and she was constantly running to find new pieces. Whether it was the color, the cut, or the size, Emmi refused to be happy until I looked & felt great. I left the store with new clothes that I loved, yet never would have picked out for myself.
I have my first networking event this week and I feel like the first day of school is coming. While you might not agree that the clothes make the man, sometimes you just need an updated look to get your head in the right place.
As much as I love the clothes that Emmi picked for me, it’s her support & understanding that make her services worth every single penny.
