SECRETS OF STYLISTS: AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO STYLING THE STARS by Sasha Charnin Morrison
Coming from a well-known family, you would think that the author would
have an easy path to a fashion career, but in this book, Sasha Charnin
Morrison really goes into details about her personal experiences that
are far from fabulous.
Being recognized from a young age for her personal style, she made her way into the industry with some hard-learned lessons, including a stint at Vanity Fair that ended in a modern day comedy like manner.
This book is a real investment for any aspiring fashion stylist as it includes many tips from well-known designers, stylists, and even some tips on how to present youself as a real fashion styling professional.
For Charnin Morrison, having a great work relationship with a good tailor is the foundation of success. She points out the importance of fit in all her examples and pictures.
It is known that in all careers there is much to learn through experience, but this book certainly gives you an insight into how much work and all the loose details that are often glamorized by Reality TV in fashionista shows. It even explains the ordeals she had to endure when declaring some items in a customs form that required fast thinking and LOTS of patience.
It is a great guide to basic things that are overlooked at times such as a complete guide to shape wear, and how to remove different type of stains from different kind of fabrics.
I certainly do think this is a book to keep close to you if you want to go into fashion styling and to reference back to in case of doubt. It is a true investment and a core book to keep for times of a fashion crisis.
This is one of a series of styling book reviews published by The Invisible Stylist. Written by former student Samia Lavenant.
