What’s a Stylist & How to Become One | Hello Fashion | Kate Young

On this week’s episode, I talk about what a stylist is and does, and speak to several stylists about how they got their start, what they’re looking for in assistants, and what their current job is. To start, I run through my own background, which began in magazines (Vogue, Interview), and call Samira Nasr, now the editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, who early in her career worked alongside me as an assistant at Vogue. I also discuss my process of collaborating with fashion brands and how I pull and choose the best looks for my clients.

In addition, I speak with Derek Blasberg, head of fashion and beauty partnerships at YouTube, who also used to work with me at Vogue; Jareg Eng, the founder of Just Jared, who intimately understands the importance of red carpet photos; and the celebrity stylist Jason Rembert, who shares his circuitous path to success.

I love “... it’s just clothes. This job is supposed to be fun ...”

[theatricalrelease]

“Clothes are for people, not just pictures” love these gems, very informative episode, thank you!

As an VIP stylist assistant, I love the way you describe the job. It simplifies it in the best way. Sometimes it feels so intense & overwhelming - but it doesn’t have to be! Just stepping back and looking at the bigger picture like this. Keeping in mind the ultimate goal. Thanks Kate 💖 I love these videos!

Honestly, the best youtube Channel. I have assisted some major Stylists in my time in both North America and London where I now live and your honesty, willingness to share, and candour is so refreshing. You are so talented and so classic in your style and approach- I appreciate your insight immensely.

[mistyatlas]

I am amazed each episode, your willingness to share and you straightforward approach is so exciting Kate, I would listen to you for hours 🌻✨

[mrsdv]

You have such beautiful and effortless style. I know you love talking about your clients and your choices for them but I would love to hear more about how you choose pieces for yourself, from the clothes to the accessories. Maybe even talk about some of your favorite pieces and what you love about them. I would watch that video multiple times!!!

I had no idea there was one sole individual behind JustJared! Whenever I google a celebrity outfit the best pictures are always from his site but I just assumed it was a gossip site, can't wait to look up who he's been styling <3

UGH I just found my number 1 channel I’m so amped for a next season. You’re incredible and so inspiring AND a smoke show. Thanks for this A+ content ❤️

[tahirrizwan]

These are beautifully well-produced videos that just keep you captivated with just information and delivery alone. No music, no excessive graphics, no flashy editing, just information and examples. I love this!

[garrulus]

I feel invited into the high end fashion world for the first time, really. Mostly I feel very intimidated by fashion content for not understanding fashion very well, but this quality of sharing openly and taking us closer to the details, explaining clearly is really opening a world to me. Very much appreciated.

[eteldias]

Yes, I agree ...certainly the best youtube channel right now! Thank you for bringing knowledge, professionalism, good manners and most of all for the passion.

[danielrojas]

thank you for making a video like this. I’m a 21 year old college student in LA that is currently studying costume designing. My career goal is to be a celebrity stylist like yourself, I’ve felt discouraged in the past trying to figure out how to get to where I want to be in the fashion industry & this gave me an idea of how things work. I’m currently interning as an assistant for a stylist here in LA & I hope that this opens doers and sets new opportunities for me in the near future. I want to be one of the greats in the future just like you Kate!

[mamananas]

I love this channel and the content so much... it’s just amazing!!

[alexrodriguez]

Amazed at Kate's generous spirit. Sharing all of her expertise. A mark of an evolved being! And she makes the world beautiful!!! Continued success!

[pretty_things_styling]

I love how genuinely warm and open you are, Kate. I really loved this. And the advice to be nice at the end? YES! Be nice!

[AG-kpsh]

I am just in awe of your down-to-earth demeanor, your style (of course!) and your generosity. Thank you, Kate!

[louloul]

I don’t want to become a stylist, but still I looooved this video
