Do you get to keep any of the clothes and accessories?

Wendy Elsmore (Fashion Expert) gives expert video advice on: How do you get clients?; Is being a fashion stylist hard work?; How do you get hold of the clothes and accessories? and more...

Whether a fashion stylist keeps any clothes and accessories depends on the client. It depends on how helpful you are to the PR whose clothes you've been borrowing. For instance, if you work on a television show, or you work regularly on a magazine, where you're showing retailers' clothes, you're effectively promoting and selling them for them. When we show clothes on various television shows, like This Morning, for instance, the number of people who then go and buy not only single items, but outfits that they've seen, is high. So the power of television advertising for clothes and accessories is enormous. In return, from time to time, we are allowed to keep clothes, which is great. It's always exciting though. You never get bored with getting to keep clothes and accessories. I've never said “No.”
