Irenee Riter, The Science of Personal Dress (1965)
Early on, going beyond conventional 4-season color methods, Riter developed the first Inter-Season Personal Color Program and introduced “balanced” colors—the missing link colorists were looking for, which ultimately culminated in the in-depth teaching of The Universal Language of Color and Line which applies to all art endeavors.

''I didn't invent a color system, so much as discover an order to human colors and body lines which already exist, and then organized them into harmonics based on art principles exhibited by Nature. Just as sound exists within a certain range of human perception, so does color and line; just as music creates mood, has a theme and evokes emotion, so does color and line. I have orchestrated, if you will, colors and lines just as musical notes of the scale are organized so that one can deliberately create with color and line. Because of this Order, we now have a system which can be quickly learned so that a person can compose with not only color, but visible texture and shape which portrays each color.''

1970 - 2002 Designed four progressive color programs and worked closely with the finest printers developing color books, videos, training books and tools for colorists throughout the country in in Europe. As entrepreneur, was president of Colors Persona for 15 years. Redesigned the marketing and testing procedures for D’Saison Creative Colors in Texas in association with Miss America advisor. Worked with a progressive clothing manufacturer, Designs On You in Missouri, as well as a company developing custom clothing techniques using high-tech computer programming in Chicago. Lectured for Ray’s Institute of Design in Chicago, taught at the Classic Beauty Colleges in Arizona, at the College of Marin and DE Anza College in California, and for two years was instructor of the foundation color and line classes for the fashion department at The Academy of Art in San Francisco. 2002 - 2013 The study of face structure was key to the realization that lines and colors are applicable to everything. Based on The Law of Attraction, there is a universal language of color and line that communicates through the four season energies which vibrate and are the templates of creation. Students receive the advantage of understanding not only how to consciously create with colors and lines, but the deep-rooted psychological and metaphysical aspects of the universal archetype language communicated by colors and lines.

"It’s like breaking a secret code or learning a foreign language!" This is the consensus men and women are coming to know there are consistent laws of order, harmony and beauty which apply to all art forms. This also extends to their body shape, features, coloring and clothing; they understand they are not a hap-hazard mix of genes or DNA, but have been orchestrated to perfection down to the tiniest fleck of color in the eye or turn of the nose. The Science of Personal Dress goes beyond someone's sense of taste or judgment; it becomes an exacting science proving good taste can be learned.
