The Fashion Styling programme provides participants with the main techniques in contemporary image creation covering the international worlds of luxury, fashion and publishing. Fashion stylists play a major role: they emphasise the style and image of a fashion collection, brand or product from the catwalk to campaign, while also working on the presentation of creative ideas, upcoming trends and visual communication. Starting with theoretical concepts related to image, styling, photography and visual communication, this course addresses key notions and processes in creating and editing professional photo shoots, as well as cultural studies in the history of art and dress, and the fashion system. Participants learn how to produce photo shoots by applying technical and aesthetic aspects of fashion photography to manipulate and edit photographic works for professional fashion styling proposals. Working directly from their own ideas, participants progress onto more complex photo sessions and also investigate managing a team and selecting the most appropriate outfits. On successful completion of each level, participants gain a solid foundation in developing ideas through research and are encouraged to apply critical thinking to their own creative and personal styling development.
The Fashion Styling Programme is delivered in two distinc certificate level programmes, participants can choose when to build on their experience by progressing from one level to another, giving them complete control on their own progress and achievement. Upon successful completion of each level, participants acquire a solid base in fashion styling, providing them with the opportunity to enter the industry, or progress further in their studies to a higher level of comprehension and skill. The course is aimed at candidates who have the ambition to become professional
The first level certificate programme starts with an overview of fashion styling, the fashion system, visual communication, graphic design, and the principles of art and dress. Participants learn how to propose ideas based on visual research, taking on-board the influences and interactions of art and culture on styling and design, while developing their own creative and individual style.
This second level programme further progresses in editorial styling, producing photo shoots from initial idea stage, to final image editing. Participants take a closer look at fashion marketing and apply visual communication skills to create proposals for new brand identities, new markets and consumers. Highlighting their individual creative approach, the final project culminates in a fashion magazine – a useful representative tool to present skill and creativity to prospective employers.
