The Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), a beacon of excellence in the image consulting industry, with a membership base exceeding 1200 professionals from all corners of the globe, is approaching a milestone that speaks volumes about its impact and legacy—the 35th anniversary in 2025.
For over three decades, AICI has been at the forefront of personal and professional transformation. Our members, a mosaic of innovative thinkers and cultural ambassadors, have dedicated themselves to empowering individuals through the power of image, dressing, and communication. From boosting confidence to shaping careers and even altering destinies, the work of an image consultant transcends aesthetics—it's about instilling belief and nurturing dreams.
The 35th-anniversary celebration is not simply a reflection of longevity; it is a tribute to the initiatives that AICI has spawned, touching lives, and fostering communities, one image at a time.
Our focus on education, ethical standards, and multicultural engagement has set us apart, making us a standard-bearer for an industry often misrepresented and understated.
We are delighted to invite you to celebrate AICI 35th Anniversary in the 2025 Global Conference in Manila.
