Freestyling Friday: Interior Stylist assistant’s Q&A with Sara Bird
We get tons of questions sent in by assistant interior stylists. This is the episode with all the answers.
Ask any interior stylist if they’re contacted by wannabe stylists and they’ll tell you they get a ton of emails asking how to get into interiors, what’s the best way to get ahead or even how to get onto a shoot and meet people in order to gain experience. In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Bird and we answer all sorts of questions sent in by assistants. We talk about both editorial and commercial styling, legal elements, test shoots and so much more.
