FUNDAMENTAL FASHION STYLING

The stylist plays a key role during a photo shoot and/or a fashion show, helping to convey what theme the photographer, models, make-up artists and hair-stylists must adopt, studies the correct ambiance, finds the right accessories, studies proper placement, and is in charge of fittings, etc.
The stylist is also in charge of visual merchandising and/or works with magazines to decide what to display for the upcoming season.
Professional Opportunities
