Fashion How a Stylist Can Learn and Develop to Avoid Becoming Another ‘Beige Capsule Collector’

As Johannes Itten said: “If you, who do not know the laws of color, are able to create masterpieces, then your path lies in this ignorance. But if you are unable to create masterpieces without knowledge of these laws, you should take care of acquiring the relevant knowledge.

I also know self-taught stylists, but this path is longer and more demanding. It is much easier and more correct to ask for basic knowledge of the “stylist” profession from specialists, who in turn, as practitioners, will be able to share their best practices with you.

I want to note a few important points that all girls who want to develop as a stylist should pay attention to:

Why is this important? History creates the fashion and style of the times and gradually, when you begin to understand its origins, you will be able to predict trends, which means that you will not be surprised by the dominance of certain trends and will always know what to offer. the client.

I recommend visiting the exhibition “House of models. Image Industry” in the museum in Moscow, which will last until June 18, 2023.

In order to work with clients, you should start with yourself and see your uniqueness. What I mean. Maybe you see colors and color combinations in some strange way. Develop this ability and broadcast in your images. You are the best business card of your own brand.

And there are special pages for training color combinations.

Visuals make up 80-85% of people living on the planet. And this ability is worth developing. People with a developed vision, i.e. visiting exhibitions, looking at magazines or other fashion sources, creating mood boards, traveling or even walking, perceive this world as wider, more voluminous and see in it more opportunities to work on their own style and the style of their clients.

I recommend you the Pinterest resource for watching interesting images. Here you can also create a selection of examples of style combinations for your clients.

It is under such conditions that you develop as a professional. Fashion Factory graduates very often receive offers of cooperation from fashion brands and companies. It’s not just about the stylists. For example, the school recently launched a joint course with the LOVE REPUBLIC brand. The best student content creators will have experience at the company. We support such initiatives in every possible way, as we see the benefit of practice if you want to work in the field of fashion.

Every stylist has moments in his work when he feels “hunger” for new knowledge. And this hunger needs to be satisfied: I recommend investing in quality additional professional education. And also try your hand at related professions: make-up artist, hair stylist – study what will help you not only develop in the profession, but also increase your control.
