The AIMS course in Fashion Styling is a short course designed to provide students with the understanding of how to start your career styling for private clients, corporate, catwalk, photoshoots, makeovers, magazine editorials and commercial. A stylist is not a designer but an interpreter of fashion, styling is the art of co-ordinating fashion with accessories, hair, make-up and the appropriate models to create an image for a specific outcome.
The stylist combines all the above to create a total look for photo shoots, catwalk appearances, newspaper and magazine editorials, movies and stage productions. This course is designed to provide you with an overview of all of these aspects of styling and a basis in make-up application and hair styling so that you will be able to create an entire look.
During the course you will learn how to get started in personal styling, as this is the basis of all aspects of styling, and is the most common way to get your 'foot in the door'. Understanding figure types, colours and personalities so that you can deal with a client. You will also learn about the other popular areas - editorial styling, catwalk styling and commercial styling.
Course Outcomes:

Students will choose a client to work on during the course (which can be a friend, family member or other classmate). Students will participate in activities involving the client, making suggestions, doing their make-up and at the end of the course styling them for a photoshoot (of which students will receive photos for inclusion in their portfolio).
By the end of the course students will have an understanding of the fashion industry, specialising in styling and makeover. Students will have a complete understanding of 1) makeup styling for self and client and 2) different colouring and makeup themes.
