Course Description
This course provides insight into the business of styling, collaboration, and how to keep calm in a fast paced industry. This course will challenge students to work through real life scenarios where they learn to maintain budgets, inventory, and how to honor the needs of clients. As we engage work spaces throughout the city, students will be exposed to styling resources, showrooms, and professional stylists. This is an introduction in learning how to exist in professional spaces and understanding team dynamics. Students will gain skills in learning how to adjust their eyes and hands for the following areas: on and off figure, editorial, e-commerce, and motion styling. Students will leave this course with portfolio building images.
