UpClose with Styleyou
The first ever New Zealand made Fashion Stylist e-Course is making waves and we have an in depth look into the much talked about course: Styleyou, with lifestyle guru and creator Angela Stone.
Angela Stone is a stylist, fashion designer and author living in New Zealand. At the age of 14, Angela embarked on her extensive modelling career which led to traveling around the globe and gaining vast knowledge and expertise in fashion styling. She cultivated valuable behind the scenes experience and an instinctive understanding of how to communicate and engage with clients, this would become the foundation to many of her successful business endeavours. Her most recent endeavour is the innovative and cutting edge Styleyou, the first Fashion Stylist e-Course to be made in New Zealand.
What was the inspiration behind Styleyou? 
I wanted to create something that was full of valuable advice and teachings but also flexible and accessible. I created Styleyou to give participants the opportunity to study fashion and styling from the comfort of their own home or on the go, all at a professional level. My inspiration was the girl next door, working woman and mother looking for a foot in the door!
Who is the fashion e-course suitable for?
The Styleyou Fashion Stylist e-Course is suitable for anyone wishing to further develop or cultivate their skills within the fashion industry. The course helps you develop a passion at an industry level resulting in a glamorous and rewarding career as a professional Fashion Stylist. All in all, it is a great course that suits anyone looking to pursue a career in fashion.
What are the key skills participants will gain from this course?
Through Styleyou, participants will be able to successfully determine client colours, identify body shapes and the accessories that would match certain criteria. Alongside this, participants will gain insight into makeup recommendation and skin care. They will also learn how to plan, style a wardrobe and communicate effectively with clients which is essential for any professional stylist. My personal favourite, is participants learning how to set up a fashion styling business while productively marketing it to a broad target audience. So many different skills under one package!
What are four words that describe Styleyou?
I would describe Styleyou to be flexible, innovative, rewarding and accessible.
On a scale of one to ten, how excited are you about the digital age of fashion?
An absolute ten! My Fashion Stylist e-Course provides participants with the information and essential tools required to uncover their dream career, all at the end of their fingertips and on the go. It has been a long time coming and is such a rewarding feeling to be able to offer people the opportunity to realise their dreams in the comfort of their own home. I think the digital age of fashion will only propel us further as an industry, tying us all together under the umbrella of sophisticated style.
