How did I get to where I am?
Where am I going?
“A fashion stylist is responsible for putting together clothing ensembles to meet the demands of specific clients. The job often requires long, often irregular hours and a keen eye for detail — an appreciation for the latest trends and styles is almost always an asset, as well.”
What do I have to offer? I will be graduating with a Bachelors in Fashion Business at Columbia College next year. I wish to pursue my career in the fashion industry as a men’s wardrobe stylist. I am currently running a fashion blog dedicated to the fashion forward and trendy men. My target clientele are men in the mid 20’s to early 30’s with a steady income. I have always had a love for fashion, especially menswear. I know the importance of one’s image and the confidence it can bring. I am dedicated to exceeding my customer’s level of satisfaction.
