During week 2 of Module 2, I looked into styling techniques that are commonly used by stylists and are also important skills to understand and be able to perform successfully. I really enjoyed this workshop, I worked in a group including the model and we only had materials and garments around us in the studio. This allowed us to use our creativity and collaborate together with ideas. There was a lot of trial and error while performing these techniques due to ideas not being successful in reality, critical thinking due to a lack of materials around us etc.

However, eventually we managed to become successful in portraying each technique on the model. My favourite technique was definitely the layering, which is above this blog, because of the different textures and colours of denim. It was a really effective example and was fun to throw together and see what we could create! I have now become very familiar with these techniques and I would definitely like to play with draping again in a different aspect. I think It’s such a beautiful styling technique that creates movement , and I feel like I would be very good at this particular skill, especially if I have the right equipment and materials! Draping is a technique that could create a lot of emotion and movement in specific shoots, especially elements like water and fire. Overall I definitely feel that this workshop was beneficial for me, as it allowed me to develop my creativity for future styling shoots, like draping, and also helped me understand why It’s a basic and important skill to understand for a Fashion Stylist.
