Fashion styling is the art and practice of styling clothes and creating particular looks that are aesthetically pleasing but, at the same time, are appropriate for the occasion that the wearer engages in.

Fashion stylists set trends, collaborate with brands, shoot magazine covers, and bring the pictures in their imagination to life. A stylist dresses people, using clothing to communicate. It is all about telling stories with clothes, ranging from editorial to personal styling.

“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.”

- Iris Apfel
