We got the final images back from our last Class 3 and we are seriously blown away by our students’ talent. It was tough, but we selected a few of our favorite student styled looks from our May class. Check out the looks below. Oh and in case you are new to our blog and don’t know what we are talking about when we say “Class 3.” Here is a little description for ya …

Class 3 is a two-day portfolio shoot, where students learn how to style their own fashion/editorial shoot. School Of Style will provide all necessary components to produce the photo shoot: studio, photographers, models, hair/makeup artists, prop kit, and clothing.

You can read the rest of the description here to find out more about School Of Style’s Class 3. Our next Class 3 (August 20-21st) in filling up fast, so sign up today!

Great job to all of our student stylists. We can’t wait to see what our next group of stylists will do in August!

Two weekends ago we held School Of Style LA at Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood. Great groups of aspiring stylists … Don’t they look great!

At the beginning of this month we had yet another smashing Class 1 at Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood! We packed the “Dark Room” full of aspiring stylists and schooled them on everything there is to know about wardrobe styling!!! Don’t our students look amazing?? We think so.

Join us for our next Class 1 on February 5-6th at Smasbox Studios in West Hollywood. Registration is open now :)

Dude, what kind of blogging slackers are we?!

We just realized we never posted the class pic from our awesome students who graduated from Class 1 on September 26th 2010. We are going to use the “we have been busy” excuse because, well, we have been busy. So please forgive us and take a look at our beautiful grads …

Last weekend we had our first School Of Style Class 3 at our new location!!

You see, we outgrew our space in Downtown LA and moved it on up to Stage 3 at Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood. The class was amazing. We had racks and racks of designer clothes (Lanvin, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander Wang, Maison Martin Margiela … just to name a few), a studio full of student stylists, 5 amazing models, a talented crew of hair and makeup artists, fantastic photographers, and two extraordinary teachers ;)

Our friend and photographer, Dove Shore shot some amazing behind the scenes pictures. Here are few of our favorites …

This class sold out in a flash and our next Class 3 is already halfway full. So if you want a spot in class, sign up TODAY!!!

Our friends over at Smashbox Studios interviewed founder of School Of Style, Luke Storey. We’ll give you a little teaser , but you’ll have to click here to read the whole thing :) Enjoy!

“We’ve long been in an era of The Stylist. Never-before has the art & importance of wardrobe styling been so heavily recognized by the media & public at large. And with all the added attention that stylists are getting, of course, we’re seeing growing professional interest and a rise in the number of aspiring. But how do you know if you have what it takes – to make it in one of the industry’s most elusive positions? Luke Storey is the stylist, guide & all-around charmer, who can show you the way…

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Luke Storey for a while now. And it really is a pleasure to know him. Luke’s been operating his School of Style here at SMASHBOX; showing students the styling-ropes & rearing a new crop of hopefuls in an ever-evolving industry. And you really can’t ask for a better teacher. He’s got to be one of the most patient & relaxed people I’ve met…in a very impatient & non-relaxing profession [and city]. Sure, he’s got the whole tall-dark-&-handsome thing. His résumé includes work with Marilyn Manson, Steve McQueen, and David LaChapelle. He’s even been on episodes of The Hills. But don’t be intimidated or fooled, Luke Storey is as nice and down-to-earth as they come…”
