Do all fashion stylists work with magazines and TV? No, they don't. There are many different job roles for a fashion stylist and there are those stylists, for instance, that say, who work as image consultants, which you may have heard of before, who work one-to-one with people, or in small groups, creating an image or a look for them, who never, ever get involved in the editorial, which is the magazine side, or the television side. There are also stylists who work predominantly, in film as well. So, there are those stylists who specialize in one area, and there are those who overlap into different areas. I'd say, though, in the early days, it's quite important to decide which area you want to break into, 'cause once you start to move up the ladder, if you haven't addressed a certain area, it's very difficult, say, for instance, if you're doing really well in TV but you've got no editorial experience and you want to get involved in magazines, you then have to go right down to the bottom of the ladder when you may be doing very well in another area. So decide early on exactly where you're going.
