Fashion Stylists - the Emerging Class in the Fashion Industry
Fashion stylist - a word unheard of till recently - is one of the emerging professions in the fashion world globally. Who is a fashion stylist? A 'fashion stylist', as the name suggests, works with fashion trends to create a distinct style for a particular individual. The services of fashion stylists are generally employed by newspapers, magazines and advertising agencies. In this case, they are required to dress up the models for shoots. A major part of the job involves planning what would look good on each model, deciding from where to buy or hire these dresses and accessories depending on the budget, bringing them to the shoot and actually dressing up the models.
Fashion stylists are also used by celebrities like actors, singers and television hosts. Such stylists are typically referred to as 'celebrity stylists'. Their job is to create a distinct image for the celebrity. The Oscar-winning Bollywood actresses Meryl Streep and Halle Berry owe their glamorous look to stylist Wayne Scot Lucas. In Hollywood too, fashion designer Manish Malhotra turned fashion stylist for Bollywood actresses Karisma Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee to give them a new look.
There is another class of fashion stylists, who are referred to as 'personal stylists' or 'image consultants'. They work with individuals who need a makeover, a complete change of image. Many businesspersons are going in for the services of personal stylists today to build up a different image.
