The Personal Stylist

Westfield London, September 13th, meeting point - Starbucks. A quite unusual location to be used as a classroom. But not for LCS students! The task was to style each other following a professional procedure applied for personal styling of actual clients.

Chitchat

Definitely my favourite part of personal styling where you get to know your client by asking simple questions about their lifestyle and their favourite styles. 

Shopping

The shopping was a bit more of a challenge. The most important aspect during shopping is to focus on the client's expectations and not influence the look by your own style. 

Fitting

It is such a great experience to see your client smiling, looking good and feeling confident in the outfits you created at the end of the session!

Second Styling Session

Occasion: LFW 2017  

Preferred styles: Sporty, Cool, Bright Colours

Budget: £100

coat, bodysuit, adhesive bra, trousers, boots H&M

It was not easy to create a complete look, fancy enough for LFW, with a budget of £100. I wish I could have added a few more accessories. But I tried my best and from the client's beaming smile, she obviously liked the outfit. Both, being a stylist and a client, was such a fun and exciting expierence and it became clear to me how much impact style may have on someone's confidence.
