Title: Fashion Stylists
Description: Stylists have become increasingly influential in shaping fashion imagery. They have moved from the backstage, as unrecognised players, to the frontstage of fashion where they are lauded for both for their work and personal style. This collection is the first to explore the history, meaning and practice of styling through unprecedented interviews and a host of historic and present day case studies. Revealing contemporary practices of styling musicians, contributing to magazine spreads and conveying immersive experiences, Lynge-Jorlen reveals that the stylist's job is not merely a matter of compilation. Fashion stylists are creative consultants for brands and image makers who see the mood of the image through, satisfy the needs of clients and push the boundaries of image making. Drawing on examples from advertising, the catwalk and magazines, this book explores the challenges faced by stylists in a fashion system increasingly shaped by commercial pressures and by growing numbers of collections and seasons. Featuring contributions from leading experts, Fashion Stylists is an invaluable resource for students and professionals interested in image making, art, entrepreneurship and the history of fashion professionals.
