About Me

I understand in most MM cases paid assignements cannot be met so I would request a small fee of £50

I am currently working as a PAID freelance Wardrobe stylist/Personal shopper and Image Consultant for musicians and touring bands as well as peoples personal appearances and special events on a freelance basis earning well. I am happy to do TF on rare occasions or under negotiations as well to add to my portfolio. In this role I style models on photo shoots, Chose styles for catwalk shows and fashion events as well as styling people for commercial stuff. I also offer styling tips/advice and I have done modelling myself both on the catwalk and photo shoots. Through this I have gained great knowledge of style and fashion taste. I have styled Oxford Fashion Week in March 2011.

I am able to access pulls from vairous retail outlets as well as various contacts however I CAN ONLY pull for Editorial/Press shoots/Assignments.(What I will need when doing this is a Pull Commission Letter to support the pull of loaning) I do not currently pull Shoes and accessories yet and am still working towards doing so. (I do however have some shoes in size 7 and and accessories of my own wardrobe that can be used) Should this not suit you I will happily help with style advice/tips.

In my role as Fashion stylists I create visual images, such that photographs use in magazine articles or videos in the music industry, I also done working from a design brief, working with teams of people such as photographers, art directors, designers, lighting technicians and set builders.
The work I do involves planning creative solutions to the design briefs, selecting the most suitable accessories to complement garments and arranging these appropriately.

Typical work activities I have done prior to freelance styling include:
- contacting manufacturers and retailers;
- finding the best range of merchandise to be used in a shoot;
- hiring, borrowing or purchasing garments and props, getting these garments to the studio or location and deciding which works best; (these prove tricky with unknowns and most high profile designs/people require deposit or fees)
- dressing people, such as models, used in the shoot;
- building up a network of contacts;
- Keeping a keen eye on every emerging fashion trend.

I have no problem with the hours often being long, because I am aware work continues until a photo shoot is finished.
My biggest passion is fashion and image. I am crazy about colours and textures of garments and love nothing more than coming up with idea’s how to put together a new look or taking a old look and giving them a twist. I enjoy working with both Male and Female images and trying to push the boundaries taking risks by adding a touch of my own visions. I consider myself to be very visual and creative with both my hands and eyes. A lot of people have told me I am the male version of Rachel Zoe. Rachel Zoe is one of the most famous American Stylist and has even managed to become a brand as a stylist which is a first. Of course this is my lifelong aim to achieve the same.

I am a very outgoing person and love meeting new people. I am easy to get along with and have a lively uplifting personality always enjoying making people laugh. I am hard working and a great team player as well as a perfectionist. I hate to settle for anything less than perfect and I am a person who thrives on approval so this ensures my working ethics of doing everything to the best of my abilities. I am very good under stress and pressure too.

I am hearing impaired. However I have no problems communicating as I talk and it does not affect my ability to work to a great if not perfect standard. In fact I think it makes me work that bit harder than those who do not have a hearing loss due to my concentration being 110% if not more. I can talk clearly and well; like a hearing person. The only time you would see I have a disability is when it comes to using the telephone which I cannot do. Should this affect my working methods? No.
Due to my hearing loss I live day to day by relying on my eyesight which is why I am a great at Visual styling/stylist and have good details for fashion.

My photo's will change from time to time as I add new photo's from new work keeping it fresh.
