Styling Assistant

[blusheels]

Hey everyone,

What do you think it's the best way to start working as a full-time assistant for a Fashion Editor/Stylist? I have already emailed a few agencies but they didn't get back to me. Is there any place online where I could find out personal emails?

Plus, what sort of experience do you have to have? I've been working as a luxury ecom stylist so far, no editorial experience whatsoever. Do you think it's enough to even be considered for an assistant?

Many thanks

There is already an interesting thread about getting work at a fashion magazine ... they discuss a lot about assisting, because this question comes up often: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f90/what-education-needed-get-into-magazines-publishing-28903.html

And there is another thread about being an assistant in many different fashion genres: for an editor, for a freelance stylist, for a photographer, etc. You might find some nuggets of helpful information in here: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f9...publicist-photographer-stylist-etc-93535.html
