With a large range of modules such as fashion styling, editorial styling and varied nuances, this course is a thorough programme for aspiring fashion stylists interested in this line.

‘Styling’ is the very crux of fashion. It is the formation of a visual image, and a way of expression. This course entails a well-rounded knowledge of the role of a stylist in the fashion industry.

Our modules outline the difference between styling for conceptual shoots and commercial shoots, designer look books, etc.

We also prepare our students with the history of styling itself. This subject is vital, and possessing an understanding of the impact of history and art on the fashion of a particular era is key to having a firm foundation in this field.

The subjects offer the students a profound understanding of colours, skin tones, fabrics, silhouettes, textures, body types, personality styles, what happens behind the scenes of a shoot or a campaign. On the completion of the course, and post working on projects, the students will gain a firm foundation in fashion styling, and enough exposure to its different components. Students will also more be able to gauge which area of styling appeals to them enough for the student to take up as a specialisation.
