What is a day in the life of a fashion stylist like?
A day in the life of a working fashion stylist can be very varied if you've set your working life up in a way that has a variety of clients and different projects going on as well. So, perhaps if you're working on a fashion shoot, then it could be an early morning start, fashion stylists are responsible for making sure the clothes get to the studio well ahead of the shoot beginning, setting up the clothes, making sure you're creating the image the clients ask for very closely in conjunction with the photographer leading the shoot. It's the fashion stylists' job not only to dress the models and to get the brief right, but also you also to alter clothes, which is another aspect to the day in a life of fashion stylist. So that could be one working day, another day I may work in television as well so there again, our program goes out live in the morning so all our rehearsals are done upfront very, very early- again, morning starts. When we get to the studio, again as fashion stylists we have got huge selections of clothes that have to be tried on by different models. As a team we agree what goes out live, and then we go through a full rehearsal of our item before we go live on show. Additionally in the day of a working fashion stylists life may involve writing an editorial piece for a magazine so that means sitting at home over a cup of coffee with a laptop, watching a bit of morning television before you get started. Therefore, overall really, really varied and all over the place. You may be spending a mad day on Oxford Street in London, which if you're shopping for yourself probably sounds idyllic, but when you're on a mission to find clothes with a deadline, it's hard work and invariably, you can never ever find exactly what you're looking for when you want it. So, a day in the life of a fashion stylist really changes day to day at a moments notice.
