<p>Before the logo. Before the website. Before you hit record — there is one thing that shapes how the world sees you, and most professionals never think strategically about it. What you wear.In this episode of Unknown to Known, Jamie Maglietta sits down with Melanie Lippman — New York-based style consultant, image expert, and certified color consultant — to break down why your wardrobe is one of the most powerful and most overlooked tools in your personal brand. Melanie has worked with businesswomen, entrepreneurs, lawyers and founders across the country helping them build visual identities that communicate authority, warmth, and credibility before they ever open their mouths.This conversation goes far beyond fashion. They cover exactly what colors and prints work on stage and on camera versus what distracts, the practical details most speakers never think about — like how to dress for a lav mic, how to sit gracefully on a panel stool, what necklines and fabrics work best when you're mic'd — and why the most memorable speakers in the world build a recognizable visual signature that makes them easier to refer, recall, and rebook.Jamie's signature purple is the perfect example. People may forget a name. They never forget the woman in purple.Whether you're a speaker, podcast host, content creator or professional who shows up on camera — this episode will change how you get dressed in the morning.🌐 Visit Melanie: https://www.melanielippman.com📱 Instagram: @melanielippmanGrab a free masterclass called AUTHORITY: Stop Dressing for Permission.
