Do you need to be up to date on all the latest fashion trends?

When you're looking at becoming a fashion stylist it's essential that you have a real in-depth knowledge of not only fashion, but also an understanding of all the latest trends and what's going on within the industry. I make it, I consider it to be sort of a big part of my job to keep an eye on everything that's happening in that direction. I attend the shows that give us an indication of what's going to be happening for next season. I'm constantly looking at magazines, not only UK edition, also all of those through Europe and U.S. edition as well, so you get a really broad spectrum and overview of exactly what's happening. It's like any job really at the end of the day, you can't talk about it with conviction and knowledge unless you really, really understand it. And it's ever-changing as well. In one respect, you could say that requires massive commitment, in another at least its exciting, it's never ever boring cause its constantly evolving.
