Course overview
If you’ve always wanted to get into the fashion industry, this course is perfect for you.
Written and tutored by a top stylist and industry expert, Dennis Immanuel, our Fashion Styling Diploma gives you an insight into the fashion industry, touching on both its history and new ways and inspirations to innovate and create.
Dennis will be your course tutor and mentor for the duration of your studies and is an experienced fashion stylist. He has his own fashion label, has styled celebrities for the Jonathan Ross show, styled shows for London Fashion Week and has also styled commercial fashion brands such as Snickers and Sassoon. He’s worked as The Head of Wardrobe for several feature films too.
During this course, you will get a grasp on vital techniques needed to understand what it takes to become a professional stylist. It also comes with the option to take a practical weekend styling your own fashion shoot, which will help build your portfolio to support you as a fashion stylist/assistant. This means you’ll finish the course with the theory, the practical experience and your first industry contact, in Dennis.
