After thumbing through my Latin dictionaries (don't have any Greek ones quite 
yet, since I'm not taking it... :)), I came up with:
 
Formamancy ('forma': a form, figure, appearance)
Lautomancy ('lautus/-a/-um': elegant, fashionable)
Saporomancy ('sapor': a sense of taste; taste in style or conduct)
Luxomancy ('luxus': luxury, a soft living)
Titulomancy ('titulus': a label, notice; a title, honor; pretence, pretext)
 
Titulomancy is probably what you're going for, or some similar meaning, since 
the power of the magick school depends on human identification of the popular 
'labels'.
 
Of course, you could also go for something simple like Glamouramancy. :)
