Fashion stylists

"Fashion is for the consumer. Style is something you cultivate when you know who you are." Miss Rita

A stylist is the creative who innovates trends and styles.He/She chooses the pieces (outfits) for a fashion show or collection and interprets trends and creates styles. Usually he/she is used to multitasking: they can have personal projects as free lancers in magazines or brands, they can be personal shoppers or create shop windows for stores and work for publicity campaigns,video clips etc.

The success of a collection is connected only to one thing: the image.
