Fashion Image & Styling

Week 1 / Weekend 1 & 2

Style overview: study of past, present and future fashion trends, as well as the elements that characterise them, and tools such as colour, silhouette, garment details and accessories. Participants will receive specific skills in sourcing and collating information from research tools such as books and fashion magazines and through specific virtual domains.

Week 2 / Weekend 3 & 4

Personal identity: participants will analyse the different types of human faces and bodies, and will be introduced to the skills and techniques used to enhance particular physical features such as hairstyling and make-up. Introduction to photo shoot: conduct an in-depth study of the fundamental elements used to dictate a style (i.e. the importance of colour, silhouette, accessories and their combination). Participants will learn the skills necessary to be an effective personal shopper.

Week 3 / Weekend 5 & 6

Style definition: create a styling portfolio, a true style book. Participants will bring together their experience and work undertaken during the previous weeks to define, develop and present a particular style ready for a photo shoot, collating and editing their work for presentation and review in an individual stylist portfolio or style book.
