Physical participation is now open for AmCham members and non-members.

Event Description

You have 7 seconds to make a first impression. Do you know the impression that you are making by wearing that dress, or those shoes? And what about jewelry and hair – what is appropriate for the office, and what works for a networking event? Join the conversation with Bui Viet Ha, style coach, and Linh Thai, investor, as they discuss how to refine your professional image, whether face-to-face in the workplace, on a stage, in a virtual meeting, or on social media.

Two volunteers will be needed for in-person makeovers/tips, one volunteer who is in a conservative industry, and the other volunteer in a more creative environment.

Each volunteer needs to send:

A picture of themselves, and then wear that same outfit to the event.
Shirt and dress/skirt size.
Brief description of their target style – the style they would like to achieve.

SPEAKERS

Style Coach Bui Viet Ha

Fashion has always been my one true love. From the first time I saw the picture of Cindy Crawford on the cover of Vogue and then walking the catwalk for Vietnam Fashion Week, I knew the love affair would last a lifetime. That love is what motivated me to make the move from Vietnam to San Francisco to pursue my degree in Fashion Merchandise Product Development, where I focused my studies on colour theory, apparel design and fabrication. It still hasn’t stopped, as I have recently worked with the Style Coaching Institute of London gaining accreditation as an International Style Coach. Currently, I enjoy nothing more than using this sharing this knowledge with others to help them find and curate their own styles. I found my passion is helping people gain their confidence to discover their own style, one that uniquely bridges their personalities and body types.

As a Style Coach, I was trained to practise a unique combination of the skills of a Personal Stylist and a Life Coach. A Personal Stylist is someone who helps their client achieve a new look and change his or her appearance. A Life Coach is someone who coaches a client through changes by helping them to set goals and achieve them by appropriate encouragement. They help the client to become the person they want to be and live the life that they deserve.

I have a history of more than a decade in the entertainment industry as a model and MC, professional life as an CEO of an advertising production house, and entrepreneurial experience opening a bridal boutique gives me a very diverse background of experience. Combined together with my knowledge as a Master NLP Practitioner, it affords me a unique insight into what most women and men need – not only to be well dressed, but to be comfortable being themselves in a variety of settings. Keep things classic and sophisticated, with a dash of trend, and you can’t go wrong. Everyone deserves to feel great about how they look, and I believe great style can be achieved on any budget, with any silhouette, for any lifestyle.
