This is the LAST episode of season 2! See you next season!

Today’s guest is someone whose influence in the world of color and personal style is nothing short of iconic. Emmy award-winning stylist and bestselling author David Zyla joins Style POV to share his intuitive, story-driven approach to style—one that has helped thousands of people across the globe discover their truest selves through color.

From dressing political powerhouses and celebrities to guiding everyday clients through transformative style journeys, David’s work is rooted in the belief that clothing should not conceal who you are, but rather reveal it.

In this rich and expansive conversation, we explore the philosophy behind David’s signature color system, the artistry of archetypes, and how texture, movement, and tone all work together to express identity. Whether you’re already a fan of his books (Color Your Style, How to Win at Shopping), or this is your first introduction to his work, this episode offers a generous window into the heart of what makes his approach so enduring.

We talk about:
– The moment David fell in love with style and color
– Why the colors we’re drawn to often hold personal significance
– His unique process of identifying your Signature, Romantic, and Essence colors
– Using archetypes to align your wardrobe with your energy and values
– How to evolve your style during life transitions
– The emotional and energetic power of texture, fabric, and silhouette
– Listener questions about color fear, finding your “home base” hue, and dressing for presence
– Behind-the-scenes stories from the world of TV costume design

This episode is a masterclass in using archetypes, color, and clothing as tools for self-expression—an invitation to dress with intention, clarity, and authenticity.
