Trust your unique beauty response. Design fluency is the skill you need.

From neuro aesthetics we know that every human has an innate beauty response, a built-in recognition of what feels beautiful. Our response to sunsets, waves and a star-filled sky is universal.

But with human design such as clothing, interiors and art, we don’t respond universally but personally. Our cultural imprint and personal narrative shape what we find beautiful. Beauty originates not in the eye but in the brain of the beholder.

Because beauty begins in the brain, no one can choose for you. Not a stylist, trend forecaster or luxury brand.

Design fluency trains your eye to recognise and trust your unique beauty response and visual language.

Identifying what attracts you prevents you from believing others are experts on your taste. It stops you accumulating items you can’t combine and never wear. And ensures your choices come from clarity rather than being a marketing target.

That is why step 1 of the Story to Wardrobe framework identifies your inner beauty response through archetype language and imagery. Steps 2-6 translate your story into wardrobe through style, fabric, texture, colour, proportion.

Design fluency empowers you to choose skilfully, express truthfully and consume consciously. And to finally align your personal truth to visible expression through wardrobe.

I can now use the power of consistent choices to express who I am so people get it.”

Liking vs wanting

Meet Lisa Maria Pippus, neuro-aesthetic expert, personal brand coach, and founder of the Story to Wardrobe video learning framework.

We like beautiful things because they light up our neuro-aesthetic response.
But liking something doesn’t mean wanting to own it.

You can admire a sunset without wishing to take it home. You can stand before a painting and feel moved, then walk away. You can see a beautiful handbag, appreciate it and still choose not to buy it.

People confuse like and want. Marketing exploits that.

Design fluency teaches you to appreciate beauty deeply, especially clothing, without every moment of attraction becoming consumption.

The ability to admire and still walk away is what makes you selective.That is what a remarkable wardrobe and authentic personal style are truly built on.

“Lisa’s wardrobe system is highly effective in analysing fashion collections and creating a wardrobe. Recommended!”
