Ask Susana from La'Qua Image - Style & Image

Born in Lima - Peru into the fashion business she began designing a kid’s range of shoes & accessories from the age of 10.

With this fantastic upbringing at such an early age, she became aware of the power of colour and style. “Why is it that some of us look so vibrant and alive in a specific colour while others look so drained and dull? Why some styles of clothing look fantastic & amazing on some shapes while the same item creates the opposite effect on another?”

Ask Susana a Question. Read Susana's Q&A's.

All these observations motivated her to find out and learn more of this science and art. She began doing some serious research! She became so excited as she discovered these secrets and as everything started to make sense. It was a complete revelation the power of this knowledge, how optical illusions can instantly add or reduce pounds to your figure and the impact a positive self-image can have in our lives.

And, this is why La’qua Image was born.

Susana Tuya with her extensive background in the industry and running marketing programmes, she has revolutionised image consulting becoming the expert on what she calls ‘Visual Branding’.

“We at La’qua Image believe that being proud owners of our outer image is not about being pretentious or self-obsessed, but in fact the contrary. It is about being comfortable in our own skin, about expressing our ‘unique’ personalities through clothing with total confidence; it is about taking the focus off ourselves and onto others because we are no longer self-conscious. A positive self-esteem flows from the inside out, but is greatly enhanced from the outside in!”

La’qua Image is proud to be empowering 100’s of New Zealanders to maximise their self-image potential!

Regardless whether you are a student, mother, secretary or CEO, how we look is how others perceive us! We live in a ‘Visual Branding’ world. Not only does your image matter to you, but most importantly to others.

“No matter what age, size, ethnicity, or lifestyle needs, if you are ready for change, we will make it happen,l in a motivational uplifting and fun manner! It is not about being self-absorbed or slaves to our image but quite the opposite. It is about getting dressed naturally, easily and readily in the mornings with little effort without cluelessly wondering what to wear. It is not about having a full wardrobe but the right items that can ‘add’ value not only to your existing clothing, but most importantly to your natural assets. It is about knowing that you are maximizing your self-image potential!”

La’qua Image is proud to be assisting hundreds of New Zealanders (from mothers entering or exiting the corporate world, weight-loss clients, sales people, managers, CEO’s, corporations, media communicators, actors and anyone who values the importance of his or her ‘Personal Brand’) to maximise their self-image potential.

Our services range from:

  • Personal Colour Analysis
  • Personal Style
  • Wardrobe Planning & Accessories
  • Skin-care & Cosmetics Analysis
  • Personal Shopping
  • How to Dress the Man of your Life
  • Total Style Experiences
  • Corporate Image, Special Events and so much more …
