Media Monday- What is a Fashion Stylist?

Since deciding what I wanted to go to college for I’ve been asked the same questions…
  • What do you do with a Fashion Merchandising/Management degree?
  • What is a Stylist?
  • Why do you want to do that with your life?

For those of you who don’t know, I currently attend the Fashion Institute of Technology. I am getting a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Management. I plan on using what I’ve learned to start my own Fashion Styling business. I want to dress women, men, children, pretty much whoever will let me dress them I will!

A Fashion Stylist in simplest terms is someone who dresses a person for an event, work, or just everyday life. Stylists pick the clothing and accessories, sometimes even hair and makeup, that a person will wear to form a cohesive look. Being a stylist can’t necessarily be taught. Of course there are tips and tricks that are learned from the industry and runway shows but primarily being a stylist is based on if you have an eye for fashion. If you the stylist has the ability to see a look that most others would not see. Whether this is mixing patterns or colors, you have to be able to see what others don’t.

I love watching other stylists' videos to see what ideas they have and sometimes that can inspire me to try something that I was not 100% sure about before.


Thanks for reading!
