LESSON 1 - PREPARATION
Typically, my styling process begins by building a
skeleton plan for the red carpet event. It’s imperative
that you know what the client wants. Are they
looking to borrow a design, or do they want to buy
it and keep it? If the client only needs it temporarily,
owners may ask you to pay a deposit or credit card
details in case it gets lost or damaged. If you buy
a piece, you can alter it as much as you want. If
you’re just renting, you can’t really make alterations,
unless you can do so such that the initial style is
not distorted. Being aware of these distinctions is
very important, and can be the difference between
nailing it and failing it!
