Hello,

To briefly introduce myself, I am a creative and enthusiastic person with over 5 years experience working in the fashion and luxury retail industry.

For the past 5 years, I have worked to gain as much experience possible in the hope to become a well known fashion stylist. Highlights of my experience include;

Ecommerce Styling and Marketing intern at Continental Clothing Co – Gaining skills in all aspects of the photoshoot process such as casting models, fittings and outfit building, but particularly styling for e-commerce shoots.
Stylist Assistant – Assisting multiple stylist alongside other top industry professionals for magazine publications. This experience gave me an incredible understanding of ‘real life’ fast paste photoshoots. Bridal stylist at Fross Wedding Collections – As well as working one to one with brides, a huge part of my role was styling models for catwalks and photoshoots. I was also in charge of organising the photoshoots, from choosing the models to booking the location.

Personal Shopping Assistant at Topshop – This gave me the chance to work with all different body shapes and sizes and to work with both menswear and womenswear.
Content creator – During furlough, I was able to put time into my online blogging an personal styling on Instagram. Within a few weeks, brands had started noticing my styling content and approached me for collaborations. Within a month I was featured on numerous websites and was even a part of Missguided’s 2020 campaign on busses and billboards.

Last year I also completed the Personal Styling course at the Fashion Retail Academy, studying theories of body shapes, proportions and colour strategies. This course gave me an in depth understanding of how to style someone not just by appearance, but with knowledge of the client.

I would absolutely love the opportunity to discuss my interests and qualifications further, but in the meantime, please take a look at my portfolio of previous styling work; https://styledbyamelia.pb.studio/

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my CV and Cover Letter. I very much look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Kindest Regards, Amelia Shankster
