Style with Soul.
Colour with Intention.
Hi, I’m Liz John, a Vancouver-based Colour Analyst and Stylist.
Fashion through the lens of Style has always been part of my story, but so have faith, music and creativity.
With years of experience working with brands like Aritzia, Roots, Banana Republic, and Celine, I’ve seen firsthand how the right colours and silhouettes can illuminate someone’s natural beauty and presence. It can make people glow and feel confident again bringing out their inner light.
Our Philosophy
I believe that style isn’t about keeping up with the fast pace of trends but it’s about coming home to yourself with joy and rest.
Your wardrobe should tell your story, reflect your personality, and bring a sense of peace to your daily routine. Whether you’re in a new season of life, rediscovering your confidence, or simply curious about what colours truly suit you, my goal is to guide you gently and thoughtfully through that process.
Every session with us is rooted in encouragement, authenticity, and care, helping you see the beauty that’s already there within you.
My Background
I founded Shoulders of Gold in 2018 after spending more than a decade in the fashion education industry mentoring emerging designers, guiding students through the creative process, and styling clients with intention and care.
But over time, I discovered that what truly moved me wasn’t just creating beautiful clothing.
It was witnessing transformation.
It was the quiet, sacred moment when someone looks in the mirror and finally recognizes themselves again confident, grounded, and fully seen.
That realization reshaped my entire approach to style.
It led me to pursue Colour Analysis and Personal Styling, and a more holistic, heart-centered way of working with people. Today, I combine my background in fashion with an approach rooted in identity, clarity, and renewal, helping people rediscover who they are and express that truth through style.
What “Shoulders of Gold” Means
The name comes from a place of faith and reflection, a reminder that we carry grace, beauty, and purpose on our shoulders, even when we don’t feel it.
It is an invitation to rediscover the light within you and allow it to shine outward through colour, confidence, and creativity.
Whether you are seeking clarity in your personal style, harmony in your wardrobe, or a fresh perspective on how you see yourself, I would love to walk with you on that journey.
