Fashion Styling School with Jan Brierton :)

Day 1: Woke up at 6am to make sure I caught the 7.26 train. Dedication right there. The workshop started at 10am and I met some great peeps :) There's only about 5 of us but we all share the same love for fashion! Today we got familiarised with the different roles of the fashion stylist working in various fields for example as a personal shopper, personal stylist, a freelance fashion stylist or a visual merchandiser (the type of area I'd be more interested in!), the different types of photo shoots in the industry (test shoot, editorial fashion shoot, advertoria shoot, advertising shoot, commercial shoot and product cut outs, YES there's a difference between all of these!). We also learnt about adapting a brief which is the basic plan for a shoot and we developed our own visual mood board. We were assigned a S/S 11 trend to style so it was important for us to develop a mood board for our ideas etc. Down below you'll see the mood board I started today. However, I still have to stick some more bits and bobs :)
I had a good day and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week,especially our fashion shoot on Thursday! I will be styling my very own first fashion shoot! Our brief is to style a 'prints charming' look for a fashion editorial.The whole idea is to use clothing that features prints in our look which can be combined with trend elements such as afro/pyjama/gatsby glam/pale and interesting etc. Not gonna reveal what I'm doing yet, I'll upload pics on Thurs/Fri :). EXCITED MUCH!!!!!
PS. down below there's also a quick glimpse of what I wore today (feat Chloe, my new buddy!). Didn't have time to take a proper full length photo :( I wore a forest green tailored blazer from Zara, a knitted pair of maroon leggings, a cream striped shirt, my gold collar chain and my creepers :) BOY WAS I ROASTING! Never knew the weather would be nice today, wouldn't have worn all those layers lool. hope you guys like the look x
