Fashion Stylists play a pivotal role in the success of a fashion collection, a brand or a product. They do not only manage the complex mix of contemporary, cultural and aesthetic references, but they are also able to present a captivating, innovative and effective communication. By exploring the fashion panorama, participants will use a variety of media to create a professional portfolio and enter the fashion industry.
This dynamic intensive course trains participants on essential technical and theoretical aspects related to the development of creative content for fashion (photography, video, styling and art direction). For those with limited time available, this course focuses on visual communication investigating the many different aspects of fashion styling, using images and multimedia contents to persuade, inspire, and create an emotional response.
The work of a fashion stylist must be both strategic and creative: attentive to the historical context and culture of fashion, to current trends and developments in the industry, and yet still remaining consistent with a client’s brief or brand identity.
During the course participants are introduced to key processes in creating and developing professional visual content using different media, understanding how to interpret the latest trends in fashion through lighting, accessories, poses, and props, translating style in a contemporary way alongside technical and aesthetic aspects. Research into the interaction between fashion, design and art further enhances participant’s knowledge of trends and current fashion aesthetics, while a look at key historical moments in fashion and image, as well as art and dress, assists in creative thinking, looking at styling from different contexts and cultures, in order to produce striking and innovative image proposals.
