Career Prospects
Fashion is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and dynamic professions. From celebrity culture to catwalk chic, we are captivated by the glamour and beauty of this industry.
The way people dress and style themselves has a huge impact on our first impressions of them. It is the job of fashion stylists and image consultants to help everyone from models and film stars to politicians look their best.
As a stylist, you use clothes to communicate. This could be simply to make someone look and feel great, or it could be for a specific artistic or commercial purpose, such as to create an inspiring image or sell a clothing collection.
Jobs in this industry can be highly lucrative, and there are plenty of opportunities to travel. You might work with fashion designers, artists, musicians or brands, and you could be employed or work freelance. In short, the options are endless.
