Fashion Styling and Image Consulting

Fashion Styling is an exciting career path, gaining popularity from TV shows such as 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy', ' Trinny & Sussanah' and other make-over shows, but there is much more to a career in fashion styling than being able to put together an outfit.

Stylists have to put their hand to a wide range of skills, they need to have good organisational and communication skills, have a creative flair and eye for design, and must stay up to date with the current fashion trends.

Stylists can work in the following areas:

• editorial styling - styling images for media publications such as fashion magazines.
• personal styling/image consulting - providing advice or assistance for clients on how to improve their look and select clothing and accessories for themselves
• personal shopping - selecting clothes for a client
• show styling - styling fashion parades, or TV personalities for shows or events
• commercial styling - styling images or looks for advertising
• and more!

Stylists are also known as: image consultants, personal stylists, fashion editors, photo stylists, wardrobe stylistls, design coordinators, personal shoppers, celebrity stylists and makeover stylists.
