In world of fashion styling is as considered art of modifying
or revamping the look of the one. It requires a high level of creativity and a
good sense of fashion and trend. With the magical creativity of styling one can
do wonders in terms of looks and appearance. For example you can make an obese
person look thin, a short person look tall And vice versa .
And what I personally believe that it is a field which
haven’t been explored even it has a huge scope as it provides a third eye for a
designer. We can give a fashion stylist name to a person who selects clothing
for editorial features, print or television ad advertising campaigns, music
videos, concerts performances ,and any public appearance made by celebrities ,models
for the fashion show or any public figure as these people are termed as persons
who carry fashion and also known as trend introducers. This is
why I felt that we
really need to dig into the deep thoughts so as to find out the reasons behind
this unexplored area.
Stylists are person who are the part of the larger creative
team assembled by the client collaborating with the fashion designer,
photographer, hair stylist, and makeup artist to prepare a look for a
particular style or theme for any specific project. In another term we can say
that “stylist are the person who push each celebrity to make the best dressed list”.
And gain a particular icon for that style for ex- prahlad kakkad give the
slogan of “aaila” to Sachin Tendulkar for a soft drink ad and it became a
signature style for the cricketer. A high level stylist can directly
collaborate with a designer to prepare a customised garment for any celebrity
who attends award shows and public appearance.
From the above conclusions that styling has a deep root or
fashion but till date a considerable effort has not been made to explore this
field most stylist acquire professional skill and knowledge by assisting other
established artists. There are fashion colleges or institutions to give a
knowledge about fashion but not even a single institution that gives
professional knowledge about styling but in recent times NIFT(national
institute of fashion technology) has started giving knowledge about styling in
7th semester of fashion designing course as an optional subject. But
that is not enough for the better utilisation of the designing that a student
learns in four years can be optimally used with the implications in styling. During
the study in nift we are given four years but styling is not given that
preference or a person studying just a single semester cannot avail a career in
fashion styling. A student who wants to have a career in fashion styling has to
go abroad in search of a better knowledge and preference coz Indian
institutions are busy in producing designers not stylist.
Whenever a fashion show takes place people come to know about
the designer who designed it not about the stylist that gives this unique combo
and made the appearance look glam and catchy people praise the designer but the
stylist name is in vogue or in unknown but the overall look is created by the
stylist. The result behind this is the name is always hidden. We want know why?
Style is considered to be most important tool and can be considered
as magical wand .It is a field that a a fashion professional can earn a huge
without having a sewing machine a thread or without procuring any assets and
that’s the biggest idea ??
For all this one should just need to have an ample amount of knowledge,
an eye to colour, up to date to the current trend and forecast. And above all
you can set your own style statement if you are good enough and feel confident
about what are you doing. Fashion is termed as a cycle but styling in an option that goes and goes
and on……..as it can be developed from a scratch ,rugged ,to highly finished.it
is beyond the rules and boundaries as
designing requires.
And the biggest problem is whenever we think of fashion only
thing that ticks our mind is only designing and designers why not the stylists
that gave that appearance….why?
