About Jennifer Butler
Jennifer Butler is the leading expert in the sociology of style, color and make over. Her experience lies in the art of visual communication. What she teaches is that mastery of appearance equals mastery of communication. Building on her fashion expertise, knowledge of human nature, and understanding of color, she develops style and color palettes that reveal the essence of an individual’s personality. Through her work, Jennifer helps clients ranging from CEOs and business executives to celebrities, artists, and community leaders, to powerfully, authentically, and effectively express themselves. Jennifer bases her work in the belief that there should be no dichotomy between inner essence and external presentation. She believes that the way we physically express ourselves is a critical element to becoming powerful communicators, whether on a stage to hundreds or with your teenager and spouse.
Jennifer leverages over 35 years in the fashion industry and degrees in sociology and art history to help her clients effectively express themselves through their appearance. Her love and talent for fashion began in college where demand for her exotic, handmade clothing led her to open a small boutique called “Piece of Mind.” Her design work and entrepreneurship won her the honor of being named one of Glamour magazine’s Top Ten Glamour Girls. It also led to a photo spread in Women’s Daily magazine featuring her inspirational designs.
Later, as a stylist at Vogue Patterns, Jennifer pioneered the concept of grouping coordinating garments in her signature “Hat Box” concept. Her thoughtful approach to fashion helped extend her color and design work internationally, including collaborations with June Roche, the country’s leading color expert at the time, and the opportunity to coordinate a show for 6,000 of the top designers in the automotive, interior, and fashion industries.
After moving to Los Angeles, Jennifer started working with leading color theorist, Suzanne Caygill, founder of four-season color harmony theory. After spending several years training with Suzanne, Jennifer used her fashion expertise and color knowledge to create Jennifer Butler Living Colors, LLC, her proprietary system for personalized design and color analysis. Jennifer shares her individualized approach to color and fashion nationwide as a talented speaker and educator. For the first time, she is making this information available to the general public. Her audio CD titled: Reinventing Your Style: Seven Strategies for Looking Dynamic, Powerful, and Inspiring will be available in September.
