Our Approach

We use style to tell your story

Our outside-in approach uses style as a strategic tool to reflect and align your external presence with the unique value you bring from within.

We start by translating your values and leadership style into visual cues we call Style Anchors. These anchors become the foundation of your personal brand—guiding wardrobe choices and helping you show up with clarity and consistency across every setting.

360 Personal Branding

Our 360 Personal Branding package is a ten-month STRATEGIC JOURNEY designed to help you establish a powerful personal brand. we guide you Through three transformative stages—Feel It, See It, Be It— that blend style and storytelling to shape how you show up.

Phase One

Feel It

This stage lays the foundation for your personal brand, using hands-on consultations using how you feel to define your unique wardrobe needs.

DISCOVERY CALL

A 30-minute virtual conversation to introduce our approach and begin exploring your lifestyle, goals, and the version of you that’s ready to step into what’s next.

INTAKE SURVEY

A thoughtful self-assessment that captures your values, leadership style, sizing, and current habits — giving us the insight to define your Style Anchors, the visual pillars of your brand.

IN-HOUSE CONSULTATION

A transformative wardrobe session in your home where we review your closet, identify gaps, and offer expert edits and fresh perspectives. We’ll uncover creative ways to reinvent existing pieces while building a wardrobe rooted in authenticity, guided by our signature Rule of Threes framework.

IN-STUDIO CONSULTATION

A session at the Costigan Studio where we co-create your personal style mood board and explore the silhouettes, colours, and pieces that reflect how you want to feel and be seen. You’ll also experience our Blind Style Test - designed to build confidence, not just outfits.

Personal Health Assessment at Lume Women + Health

We’ve partnered with Lume to support your 360 Personal Branding journey—from your external presence to your inner well-being. Each assessment includes a full-body exam with a female physician, a hormonal health evaluation, personalized recommendations, and three months of follow-up care to ensure you’re fully supported every step of the way.

Phase Two

See It

This stage ensures every detail reflects your unique style and goals through curated shopping, workshops, and photography.

STYLE STRATEGY SHOP

A seamless shopping experience where every piece is pre-selected and ready for you to try on - no racks to browse, no guesswork. With expert guidance and Mercedes-Benz car service, you’ll build your wardrobe with intention, define your uniform, and invest only in what works.

CLOSET DIGITIZATION

All new pieces are uploaded to your digital closet app and styled into versatile looks - creating a visual system that supports ease, clarity, and consistent dressing across every setting.

EXPERT-LED WORKSHOP

To further refine your personal branding journey, you’ll choose from one of our expert-led workshops in Mindset with Hina Khan, Excellence in Spoken Communications with Wendy Chong or a Hair & Makeup Trial with beauty expert Allyssa Helm.

Options and dates are shared during your Discovery Call.

THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE 

A brand-aligned photoshoot that captures who you are, how you lead, and the presence you want to project. It’s a chance to align your image with your goals and reflect the success we’ve defined together.

SEASONAL STRATEGY SHOP

A seasonal wardrobe refresh that includes a second in-home consultation and curated shop - ensuring your closet stays aligned with your Style Anchors and ready for whatever the next season brings.

Phase Three

Be It

This stage celebrates and solidifies your personal brand, equipping you with the tools and experiences to stay on brand through every occasion.

FRAGRANCE WARDROBING WITH JO MALONE LONDON

The final step in your journey: an invitation to the exclusive Costigan Alumni Dinner, where you’ll join a powerful community of women to connect, reflect, and celebrate. More than just a dinner, it’s a space where authentic connections spark new opportunities, collaborations, and lasting impact.

360 Personal Branding client

"One of the masterclass participants from April sent the nicest note to us yesterday. She shared that she got a lot of value from the experience and is happy with the pieces she purchased. Specifically, she’s feeling much more polished and already sees it making a difference when she’s in front of clients.”

“Julianne and her team transformed my closet. They have an incredible ability to ‘read’ a wardrobe and suggest options that feel authentic. Kind and compassionate, they empower women to present confidently in both industry settings and everyday life”

360 personal branding client

"A couple of months ago, when I was three months pregnant, I hired the team for a closet consult and digital shopping list to help plan a maternity wardrobe. They made me feel like their most important client throughout the entire process. They were an absolute pleasure to work with as they reviewed my closet and helped me identify a new and improved personal style"
