From anyone to someone- handiwork of a personal stylist

Britney Spears is back in the music scene with her latest single Hold It Against Me. Many had written her off after her much-publicised personal struggle. But one look at her latest album cover and you wouldn’t think twice about calling her the diva of the year.  It’s the personal stylist at work, who has helped transform a tumultuous singer to a star performer.  Stylists are not just a celebrity’s saving grace but an integral part of all social do’s. A celebrity stylist is behind the envious looks of movie stars, singing sensations, media types and corporate heads. The stylist helps conceptualize the complete look, from hair style to accessories.

People the world over look to celebrities as style icons, which change every season. A personal stylist helps create the look of the season by putting together outfits and accessories for bold-faced names and the world buys it immediately. The stylist generally has a team of experts, from hair and makeup artists to aestheticians and tailors, in their little black book to perfect each detail.  It’s not always about clothes, but about creating a confident attitude. A celebrity stylist helps create an image that becomes a sensation. These styles and combinations then get re-created by the personal stylist.

In the past, fashion and image have been more of an established woman’s perogative. But times have changed and being stylish is now everyone’s aspiration. Even men are catching up. They will engage a stylist to pick out custom suiting, shirts and complementing accessories; from belts to shoes to match a particular mood or event. Being stylish has assumed different dimensions in the fashion world and elite social circuit.  Ask anyone with career and social aspirations, and they will disclose a wish list relating to image and fashion that will make a lasting impact. A personal stylist can execute these style goals and turn aspirations into reality.

A personal stylist can change any look: a tomboy into a glamorous woman or an athlete into a business mogul. The stylist puts together clothes, accessories and jewellery to create a unique style that reflects the client as an individual. The stylist then advises on the right lipstick and color palette. So the next time you want your own style to make a lasting impression, you know whom to call– your personal stylist.
