WHERE YOU'VE
Stylists are the new generation of fashion professionals.
Style is more than the clothes we wear.
It impacts how we feel and what we communicate to the world
For the everyday consumer, the impact that mindless and incorrect garment purchases has on our environment is becoming impossible to ignore.
And stylists are the pivotal service to engage to change this behaviour Not only as they assist in
saving time and money, but helping clients to purchase more consciously.
Communication and knowledge are at the heart of any client relationship, and we equip you with extensive human behaviour training so that you're ready to work with a variety of clients, anywhere in the world
In editorial and commercial styling, stylists are the visionaries who bring ideas to life We've observed a dramatic increase in the need for stylists and creative directors over the past decade, as social media takes the lead in attracting customers to fashion brands who are constantly adapting to reach new markets.
The world of professional styling provides an opportunity to help others look and feel their best, see creative concepts come to life, and collaborate with other industry professionals all while doing what you love - working with fashion
"Taking a chance on myself and enrolling is the best decision I’ve ever made I learnt more in this course than I could have EVER
imagined and not just about fashion styling! Australian Style Institute has literally changed the course of my life "
