GLITZ AND GLAMOUR: Students from Waltham Forest College given taste of fashion world

Waltham Forest College partnered with the London College of Fashion to produce a two-day Fashion Styling Workshop. The fashion students were given a taste of the glitz and glamour of the fashion world when they held their own fashion photo-shoot.

The workshop introduced a range of related subjects such as researching trends, celebrities styling, styling in a magazine shoot and the different ways to style a product to attract customers; an opportunity for the students to develop ideas for fashion images and learn from an expert.

The students had to step into the role of stylist, creative director, photographer and model to produce a denim-themed shoot. From ripped jackets, embroidered jeans, faux fur, and leather; they utilised their roles and came up with innovative ideas to shoot around the College.

Kwame Oti Anderson, who was the Creative Director in his group photo-shoot said, ‘‘the workshop was great. I learned how to work in a team to pull together different looks for a fashion image. Denim never goes out of style, so it was fun to play around with ideas”.

The workshop offered students hands-on training to inspire them to succeed in what is a competitive industry. Ayce Gunner Petersen, Level 3 Fashion Student said, “I’ve gained more insight into the overview role of a stylist and I now know where not to go wrong”.
