Who is the Fashion Stylist
Fashion Stylists are experts in image and style. They must be able to accentuate a line's style and reproduce it in every phase of its promotion, from the fashion show to the advertising campaign. Their work is creative and mindful of trends; they must identify the finest styles and offer a well-coordinated image. Fashion Stylists are essential to a collection's success. First you will learn how to identify new trends and achieve various looks. Next, you will gain technical competence in photography, computer image manipulation, atmosphere, lighting, make-up, hairstyling and accessories.
