One of the many roles of an assistant stylist is doing pick ups. A pick up happens after the key stylist pulls the looks from the store, showroom, etc.  After the looks are pulled, the assistant stylist waits patiently for everything to be packed up and then loads it all up in his or her car. It’s a simple process really — pull, wait, pack, and drive to the next spot.

Simple, most of the time. Today we had a fun little experience when SOS’s trusty assistant walked out of an LA PR firm with an armload of clothes, only to find that her car had been towed. Yep, towed. Pouf, gone, and moved to another location. Rut roh.

All ended well but let this be a lesson, not only to assistant stylists but to all people who drive and enjoy seeing their cars when they get back: Read the signs and read them carefully!!! LOL!
