fashion 101

fashion school

Fashion 101 is a hands on training course taught by celebrity wardrobe stylist Cory Savage and tv and film costumer Greg Turnbull.  Savage and Turnbull share their expertise in color and style coordination and placement of wardrobe and props on print advertising shoots and be versed in wardrobe consulting.

Learn about a typical work environment on television, film, commercial or music video sets. You will learn how to read scripts and look at storyboards to determine what wardrobe items are required and how to procure them within the budget.

Become familiar with advertising agencies, catalog publishers, fashion houses, public relations firms and how to conduct business with each.

Fashion stylists must have a good eye for things that look "hot and new" and be aware of fashion trends. They also need to enjoy shopping (and returning items) and be resourceful and detail oriented.

After finishing a 3 day fashion 101 course each student will be familiar with independent contractor standards.  Since stylists are independent contractors, they need to manage the business aspects of their work. This may include hiring an assistant, paying bills, invoicing clients, handling advances and budgets, and keeping precise records of expenditures, which can be substantial.
