FGI Presents 'Styling Tips and Tricks for the New Economy'

What is styling all about? What is it like to be a wardrobe stylist? How do you start a career in styling? These were some of the questions discussed during the 'Styling Tips and Tricks for the New Economy' event on January 28, 2009 hosted by FGI San Francisco and Art Institute of California.

Some of San Francisco's top stylists were invited as panelists to talk about their personal experience in the styling business. They discussed some of the best experiences they've had as well as the challenges that they've faced. Although it might seem like a fun glamorous job, it's not easy to be a stylist because some clients could be very difficult to deal with. Attendees were also given the opportunity to find out how to start a styling career.


Towards the end of the night, the panelists gave one of the audience members some styling tips and explained the type of style and colors that would work for her. Jewelry designer Corinthia Peoples of Corinthia Peoples Design also gave one of FGI's board members a makeover with her exclusive jewelries. She explained how certain jewelry styles can instantly update a woman's look.
