Yesterday we had our third Class 3 of the month! That’s a record. Jasmine, Nikki, and Maria were our student stylists and they did a fantastic job at putting looks together. We will have to wait a few weeks before we get the final images back. In the mean time lets take a look at the behind the scenes images from this past weekends class …

Upcoming Class: Class 3 on June 26th

This month we slipped in yet another Class 3! This next one is on June 26th. We typically have one Class 3 per month but this month we have three on the calendar (June 11, 12, and 26) due to the high demand. There are only a few spaces left so if you are interested, please register now.

What is Class 3? This class is a portfolio building shoot day, in which students will have the opportunity to actually style their own fashion/editorial shoot! School Of Style will provide all necessary components to produce the photo shoot: a professional photographer, models, hair/makeup artists, location, prop kit, and clothing. Luke will be on set all day to supervise the shoot, and offer styling support and creative input, as needed. At the end of the shoot students will be provided with 4-5 high-quality images to add to, or start their own professional styling portfolio.

Class 3 shoots take place at Los Angeles’ premier style house, Chic Little Devil. Located in the fashion district of downtown LA, Chic Little Devil is LA’s largest style house with over 50,000 designer garments, accessories, and shoes from over 200 top designers. Prior to each class the expert staff at School Of Style will hand pick all wardrobe to be used during the Class 3 shoot.

This portfolio shoot is an extraordinary value to aspiring stylists, as well as established stylists alike. We have taken on the work of producing a shoot, so that you don’t have to! Organizing a test shoot on your own can be very expensive, stressful, and often results in poor quality images. A typical portfolio shoot can literally cost thousands of dollars. There are many expenses to consider, for example:

Photographer: $500-$1000
Photo assistants: $250 each
Models: $300-$500 each
Hair Stylist: $250-$400
Makeup Artist: $250-$400
Studio rental: $300-$500
Prop Kit: $200
Garment rack rental: $10 each

In addition to all of these production expenses, the most important element of any shoot is of course the clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories. Obtaining these items is perhaps the most difficult aspect of independently styling your own shoot. Some of the risks and challenges involved include: high rental fees, strict retail return policies, costs of damaged/used clothing, days and hours lost to prep and returns, and the frustration of being denied showroom samples due to a lack of a proper pull letter.

Class 3 is an amazing, one of a kind opportunity for anyone who wants to gain actual hands-on experience styling their own fashion shoot. This class is usually held the first Friday and Saturday of each month. Be sure to check the schedule for updates.

During this weekend’s portfolio/shoot classes, we decided to throw a bit of competition into the mix. We Love Colors was kind enough to donate some great looking tights and socks for the students to style with. The students who participated really shocked us with some of the rad stuff they came up with.

Here are some behind the scenes pictures of the students workin’ it with We Love Colors hosiery. The final images will be ready soon. The hottest student styled outfit wins a gift certificate to We Love Colors.
