Topic: My fifth post is about the career fashion stylists. The career is expected to carry big responsibilities and tasks just like any careers. I hope the information that i just learned offer me a great sense of knowledge of the career. 

Evidence:  fashion stylists are responsible for making people look good. They also help Photographers' and Director's product more presentable for companies to sell. Fashion stylists usually work in photo shoots, commercials, movie sets, print advertisements and music videos to style celebrities and models. A popular Fashion stylists is Rachel Zoe, she boasts clients such as Hollywood’s most in-demand film actress, Jennifer Lawrence; who commands more than $10 million per Hunger Games movie and recently upped her Dior contract for another three years for a rumored $15 million, and TV’s highest-paid actress, Sofia Vergara. She quote, "When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that's never good. People shouldn't succumb to trend, they should interpret trend." Fashion stylists show the wearers' personality and style through the clothes, wardrobes or outfits that they are wearing. (Sawyer, Nicole) They help boost the person's self-confidence by helping them make a good impression. They basically assume all tasks related to styling and creating fashion visuals. Fashion stylists education and training consists of  4-year Bachelor degree course program in Fashion merchandising, art or visual merchandising, fashion styling, fashion designing and other related fields. A Experienced fashion Stylists salary range to $500-$5,000/day. (ABC News Network)

Analysis: Networking and experience are critical for fashion stylists to succeed in this field. A fashion Stylists must go through courses and education to become an experienced Fashion Stylists but to possess creativity and artistry is a top-level Fashion Stylists. I must have both knowledge and qualities to be successful in this career.

Meaning: I understand now that even if you have qualities for this career or any careers you must have a proper education and courses to understand more of the career.

Topic: My fourth blog post is focusing on particular areas I perfer is editorial fashion and fashion design. Editorial is mostly based on how fashion is portrayed. Fashion design is where fashion is made and created. Both field of design offered a lot of structure in my future.

Evidence: Editorial fashion is sells product, story, and lifestyle. A fashion stylists know how to accentuate the positive attributes of the people they dress. Choosing the right outfit to flatter someone—in a way that is appropriate for each event—is an art. “You really need to know the person you’re talking to and the brand,” Astley Adam who worked in the editorial fashion field said. “If you’re going to be taking up someone’s time know your stuff.” 
  Fashion design is the art of application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion designers have a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as fashion design or fashion merchandising. Employers usually seek applicants with creativity, as well as a good technical understanding of the production process for clothing, accessories, or footwear. "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." said Coco Chanel who owns a fashion multi-million company.

Analysis: Editorial and Fashion Design are the field I strongly want to go for. I understand that in an industry as Fashion you must have a sense what you want to do before you apply to any job opportunities. I never understood why every position is specialized until now.

Meaning: I looked into the fields that offered jobs that i perfered like careers such as a designer, fashion writer, and stylists. I am very glad i did my research because i never would've noticed how specialized a field and career is.
