 ID: 128069 Posts: 240 | Date: 2008-05-19 12:12 Fashion stylists normally have very good personal or working relationships with
the major labels or designers. They are more concern about the "Look" rather
than individual pieces. Hence, lookbooks/stylebooks from the designers/fashion
labels serve as a easy guide for them to loan out/purchase clothes.
Having mentioned this, there is a new trend emerging where models are learning
some basic sewing skills, fashion design techniques and modifying their
exisiting outfits and giving them a new lease of life. It helps to recycle
unwanted clothes, accessories, shoes and bags and definitely save some money for
the models. I have seen a model going on to win a Fashion Design Contest
recently with her modified oufits.
Online shops have emerged recently where cheap designer/quality clothes can be
bought from those who gets their stuff from Chinese Manufacturers. A simple
search through these sites coupled with some fashion styling skills can help you
to save a lot of money too.
As for me, its a lot easier to work with a good fashion stylist during any
production and shoots as he/she will be tasked to loan out/purchase the clothes
necessary to achieve the overall mood and effect desired at the budget set.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Cheers,
Tuck |

what you can find! You'll find vintage and prom dresses, cowboy outfits, 60's
attire and much more! I stopped paying full price for things that I will only
wear a handful of times. (bought a brand new UGGS beautiful book/model bag for
the big 10 bucks!) Hope that helps a little!

Surely Bliss Magazine and the Lingerie Shoots did not want you to wear your own
things?
That would have been weird lol! 
Any of the Cover Mags that you quote surely gave you great indication of
Clothing prior to shoots? You show an amazing almost life long list of successes
within the few Months Modeling! I am amazed that one with such successes should
need to ask such questions over clothing supply!
To Cheri/Sheryl:
Great realists attitude and good advice to those real Aspring Models trying to
create looks on a budget
In addition I will add that obviously if Aspiring models do manage to eventually
get Fashion Work then in a high percentage of cases the work is to promote that
companies products, consequently you will be supplied with those products for
the shoot! Otherwise why would they want you to be modeling for them? So do not
worry over the purchase of expensive items to give your looks, just let your
looks within your means sell you until those offers come along!
Well that is my slant on things anyway lol  |

Heya, I did get wardrobe supplied for the Bliss shoot, all the geisha shoots,
and the fashion shows.
The cover of confidence mag was actually a test shoot that I did and the
photographer met the editor who wanted to use that set of images for the mag, so
that wasn’t planned, you cant even see what Im wearing there and it wasn’t
planned to go in there, just a nice bonus!! For the lingerie shoot too, that was
a test shoot and the photographer was a student and sent it into his uni mag.
For everything else I have had to bring outfits for, I have been given some
indication of what to bring, but its usually boring stuff like dark jumper,
everyday stuff. Im looking for quite creative outfits, I do a lot TF* but
don’t want to wear the same things over and over again and finding it pricey,
a lot of my work actually comes from photographers who want their books updated
and they don’t want to copy something I had already done…for example I have
a long black dress in my portfolio that I have used a few times and some
photographer have said they don’t want to shoot me in it anymore and I think I
have got the best out of it!
I think the chances of a fashion company wanting me for their products are slim
to none!! Just want outfits for when I do test shoots and portfolio updates for
other photographers, I think the funkier the outfit the more it stands out and
fingers crossed someone will notice it and want to use the image!I have new pics on my profile... |

thats good! I did meet a stylist once who got a beautiful wedding dress for £30
from a charity shop, she was quite nifty on the sewing machine and took it in a
bit as it was quite big and added some flowers on it, was really nice! I might
give it a try, some one also mentioned car boot sales so might have to pop down
to one someday soon!I have new pics on my profile... |

Got that thanx! Lewisham is a great place to find clothes cheaply as it is very
multi-cultural and quite trendy, it also has the Market there!
Kensinton use to have a 3 day event at the county Hall once a year where all the
Fashion Makers and Wholesalers would set up shop and sell off their ex-samples
and concept ideas very very cheaply, check that out Nhuc!
The Clothing wholesalers in the Commercial Road ares of the East End may be able
to help with samples or ex-samples or even have part-time reception modeling
positions or such like, that is another angle worth considering. |
