The Interpreters of Fashion

Stylists: The Interpreters of Fashion, due out at the end of this month, takes a look at the fashion industry’s silent influencers of style. Of course, with the US and Canadian dollars being pretty much on par right now, those north of the border are looking to pay about $61.11 for the book, while lucky Americans get a deal, paying only $47.25.

The people in the book are, mostly, names you have never heard of. They are not in your face like most designers feel they have to be, but they are a major role in what fashion is today. They take the current season’s best pieces and take it to the next level. Their role is to push the envelope of fashion. Their work is seen in every fashion editorial, advertising campaign and runway show. They decide how outfits should be pieced together, which accessories work best and sometimes give creative direction from the start.

It is one of the most draining and hardest jobs in fashion and not a position just anyone can take on, however with top stylists in the US commanding rates of up to $5,000 per day it is a role that many who love fashion want to fill.
