The aim of this handbook is to provide a comprehensive insider’s guide to working in styling, a fast-paced and fascinating area of the fashion industry. With the focus on ‘how to be a stylist’, rather than ‘how to style’, it offers an informative, creative and practical introduction for anyone starting out in one of the most popular and aspirational careers in fashion.
Everything you need to know about styling will be divulged within this book, giving you a head start.

AUTHOR
I'm Danielle Griffiths the author of Fashion Stylist's Handbook.
Whilst working as a stylist I encountered one too many assistants who didn't know enough about the industry. Not through any fault of their own, rather due to a lack of accessible information. With that in mind I set about creating the Fashion Stylist's Handbook - explaining how the fashion styling system works & to give young stylists a helping hand.
FREELANCE FASHION STYLIST
I started working as a London based fashion stylist in 2001. My editorial work has appeared in the country's leading fashion magazines and newspapers. I have styled for major advertising and music clients, while working alongside some of the world's best photographers.
VISITING LECTURER & business developer
Since early 2018 I have been a Visiting Lecturer at Condé Nast College Of Fashion & Design, teaching fashion styling.
As a Creative Consultant, I mentor both those starting out in Styling, as well as more experienced creatives - helping them to:
Monetise their Creativity
How? By offering stylists paid work - behind the scenes, as part of my dressing team at London Fashion Week; by giving stylists control over their own businesses with The Stylist’s Document Pack; by offering courses on understanding the Freelance Industry; AND with the Fashion Membership A DRESS CODE.

Fashion Stylist Rates
SURVEY RESULTS
Clients have long taken advantage of freelance fashion stylists:
• They rely on them competing against each other to drive down their day rates.
• Some clients don't pay on time, if at all.
• Others specify 2 - 3 prep days, when in reality they should be getting paid for a week's worth of prep.
Find out what stylists are actually getting paid & what they really should be charging.
