The course in Fashion Styling is designed to provide students with information on styling for catwalk, photo shoots, personal makeovers, and newspaper and magazine editorials. This workshop is very thorough and intense, but is a fun place to network, meet, and learn. You will gain knowledge on all aspects of what makes a good stylist, how to build your portfolio, the difference between a stylist for film, print, TV and a personal stylist. In fact, you will most likely not find all of this information in any one place.
This workshop provides invaluable consolidated information based on Georgina’s years of experience as a stylist - and she will provide practical advice on getting started in this exciting and glamorous industry. A question and answer period will follow so that you get your personal questions answered. In addition, all registrants will receive e mail access to Georgina after the course, where she will offer career support and advice.
You will learn:
- What it means to be a stylist and what avenues to take to become a working one.
- Best ways to build your portfolio, how one should go about doing this, and the various ways it can be done.
- Building relationships with the press, showrooms, vendors, designers, and retailers that you will pull from- what you will need and what they will want in exchange.
- How to secure an agent and the pros and cons of having one.
- Tools of the trade: loan slips and letters of responsibility- what they are and how to create them.
- Trend spotting & taking risks
