Growing up with a “crazy, personal obsession with clothes,” stylist and brand consultant Matthew Henson began his career in editorial as an intern at Flaunt magazine, before working up to fashion editor at the title. After moving to Complex magazine, working as fashion editor there for 6 years, Henson pivoted his career to freelance styling. Since 2012, Henson has been the stylist for A$AP Rocky and The Weeknd — notably styling the latter’s 2021 Superbowl performance. His work has appeared in publications such as WSJ Magazine, Esquire, Time and GQ. “You always need to keep yourself grounded, especially stylists. We’re providing a service and expressing ourselves, but we are catering to someone and partnering with them. You have to understand that it’s not necessarily about you — the bigger picture is that you’re getting to collaborate and your work is going to be seen and appreciated by so many.” Dive into the article, How I Became… A Stylist and Brand Consultant, to discover Henson’s advice: https://lnkd.in/eqhveu_Q #fashionstylingassistant #costumedesigner #fashionstylist #stylingassistantjobs #stylingdirector #artdirector

“In the interview process, what people care about is [...] ‘Are you excited about this job? Are you someone I can rely on for help?’,” says Jerry Lee, co-founder and COO at Wonsulting. “Those soft skills are more convincing to hiring managers and recruiting teams, [so] make sure you focus on the softer side and being a person during the interview.” Within your preparation, you should practise how you articulate your personal story, and why it makes you a great fit for the role. “[Recruiters] want to be able to look [at a candidate’s content and] know how they are going to fit into this organisation. From a digital presentation, it is consistency of brand. You are a brand, you are building yourself as someone who fits into the organisation in a certain place. So who are you? Where do you want to be? Make sure it is consistent across all [touchpoints],” says Joy Campbell, brand partnerships director at Graduate Fashion Foundation.

“I missed my first production. The timing was off, we were late with the samples and the factory set to produce my first collection kicked me out before we even started production. But do not allow mistakes to stop you. I learned that this is a jungle and you have to have thick skin in order to navigate it, especially as a young woman.” Amina Muaddi initially pursued a career in editorial and styling at L’Uomo Vogue and then American GQ after studying Fashion Communication at a university in Italy. Unfulfilled by this path, Muaddi returned to Italy to pursue shoe design, moving to Riviera del Brenta, the famed Italian district for luxury footwear production, to learn the shoemaking process from local artisans, before she co-founded her first brand Oscar Tiye in 2013. While Muaddi's first brand did not succeed, the designer persevered, launching her second eponymous label in August 2018 — designed in Paris and produced in Italy. Global stockists include Bergdorf Goodman, Lane Crawford, Harvey Nichols, Ssense, Browns and MyTheresa, and she has launched exclusive capsule collections with the latter two retailers.

An internship will help you hone skills and abilities, but also expand your areas of interest and knowledge base. For instance, you might learn you prefer channelling your creative skills into social media rather than design; working in commercial strategy rather than creative execution; in-house instead of at an agency. “I think the internship is critical [to] reflect on, ‘What did I like about it? What did I not like about it? Can I see myself doing this when I’m 45?’ Those are basic questions but so important to be able to filter out in your early days,” says Jon Zeiders, president of womenswear and accessories label Staud and a partner on non-profit RaiseFashion’s internship programme. “Don’t be afraid to try and fail,” Browns’ buying director Ida Petersson previously told BoF. “You can’t go anywhere without risk. Understanding what you’re up against but taking those leaps of faith is how you make things happen.” Read the full article, How to Succeed as a Fashion Intern, on BoF. #fashionintern #fashioninternship #fashionentryleveljobs #fashionassistantroles

Carlota Guerrero started experimenting with photography as a teenager but studied psychology and communications at university in Barcelona, with a particularly impactful year abroad in Paris. “I started seeing how art was respected — and [how] I could make a career from it,” she told BoF. Aged 24, Guerrero landed her first major commercial project as a photographer and art director — for Solange Knowles’ studio album “Seat at the Table”. With a distinctive minimalistic aesthetic and visual language, often working with groups of women and identity exploration, Guerrero has since landed accounts with the likes of Givenchy and Dior, Loewe, Phillip Lim, Zara and Nike, as well as further collaborations with Knowles.

The term “Imposter Syndrome,” formerly known as “Imposter Phenomenon,” denotes feeling like a fraud and undeserving of success at work. It is often attributed to women, underrepresented groups and junior employees. “I call it facing bias and being part of a system that wasn’t designed for you,” says Ruchika Tulshyan, founder of inclusion strategy firm Candour and the author of Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work. A key pillar of advice from the experts is to lean on your personal and professional network, to gain perspective and help you contextualise your concerns or feelings of inadequacy. “It is important to check in with other people who have [your] back, and who could hold [you] accountable. Maybe they will give me advice that there is this thing that I could do to up-level, but more often than not, the advice in those situations is: ‘we don’t see [what you are doing wrong]’,” says Tulshyan. BoF Careers breaks down insights and advice from academics and fashion professionals on how individuals, and the fashion industry as a whole, might begin to tackle its pervasive Imposter Syndrome problem.
